I think the kid could simply be retarded, something is definitely wrong with his head.
Having seen a clip of the kid showing one of his "inventions" (the circuit board from inside a DVD player) I think he is a bit soft in the head. A window licker.
But it is fucking hilarious watching all the idiots fall over themselves to get the retard onto a pedestal.
Leave it to left MSM, the twitter mobs, and the left internet blogs to turn a local detention, one of 10s (100s?) of thousands of 50-state juvenile detentions, into an emmy nomination for best theatrical outrage and crocodile tears. The US navy's latest sonar and the NSA's best eavesdropping is deaf compared to left's omnipresent "hate" detectors - after all, the slightest ping of "hate" across the vast expanse of static is instantly detected, located, and targeted...moments later followed by the launch of gullible rage torpedos.
And as usual with these stories, soon after the MSM and left has become a whirling dervish of sputtering nonsense, the truth seeps out. Its increasingly clear that this young fellow and his family have played the Western media and Obama (not an unusual event).
Turns out Ahmed's dad is some kind of Islamist kook. The Washington Post reported in 2011, after debating a Koran burning pastor:
Elhassan, a native of the Sudan who is now an American citizen, likes to call himself a sheik. He wears a cleric’s flowing white robes and claims hundreds of followers throughout Egypt, Sudan and in the United States. But he is unknown as a scholar or holy man in the state he has called home for two decades. Religious leaders in Texas say they have never heard of Elhassan, including the imam at the mosque where he worships.
It also turned out the Elhassan prompted the boy to take his "bomb looking" disassembled 1970s radio shack to school, for reasons that are apparent. And when when questioned by Mark Cuban, the boy's sister was heard providing the faux inventor with the 'right' answers. The same sister that got suspended from the same high school for inciting a bomb scare two or three years ago.
Ahmed thinks it was "kinda cool to get arrested" knowing he was innocent - probably for him as cool as getting the President of the United States to celebrate a Muslim immigrants contribution to hoaxing with a deconstruction of an old clock radio 'in a box'.
Not all lefties are falling for it. Bill Maher is not. Another is Richard Dawkins who, at first, did fall for it. He has since seen how he was played. All this attention for what? A fraud "invention" likely intended to spook some teachers.
