It turns out, too, he boy was more circumspect with answering questions than the narrative has led us to believe. When questioned, he simply said, "It's a clock," and refused to give any further elaboration when pressed by school officials and later the police. That's ultimately what led to his arrest, because his behavior was suspicious.Last edited by Mountain Man; 09-18-2015, 06:44 AM.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

How is it suspicious to answer "It's a clock" when that's exactly what it was?"Obama is not a brown-skinned, anti-war socialist who gives away free healthcare. You are thinking of Jesus." Episcopal Bishop of Arizona

To be honest it certainly does seem a tad odd that he chose to house his clock inside a brief case and most clocks that I'm familiar with generally don't have a mess of circuit boards. Still the obvious lack of explosive material should have been a dead give away that it wasn't a bomb.
I'm always still in trouble again

What difference would the time it showed make? Further it seems that the batteries have been disconnected."Obama is not a brown-skinned, anti-war socialist who gives away free healthcare. You are thinking of Jesus." Episcopal Bishop of Arizona

It's a CLOCK, right? What is the PRIMARY purpose of a clock?

The red panel in the lid is an LED display - it reads 88 88 - so the power is off.

The digital display is at the top. It is the red bar. As for the batteries they have obviously been removed. Are you seriously attempting to say this was a bomb?"Obama is not a brown-skinned, anti-war socialist who gives away free healthcare. You are thinking of Jesus." Episcopal Bishop of Arizona

So why are you looking at an unplugged LED display and asking where the time would show up?"I wonder about the trees. / Why do we wish to bear / Forever the noise of these / More than another noise / Robert Frost, "The Sound of Trees"
