From the Independent:

The family of Ahmed Mohamed, the Texan schoolboy who was arrested after taking a homemade clock to school, has demanded $15m in compensation and written apologies from the local mayor and police chief.

In letters sent on Monday, the lawyers said if the City of Irving and Irving School District did not agree to the apologies and compensation, they would file a civil action.

"Ahmed never threatened anyone, never caused harm to anyone, and never intended to. The only one who was hurt that day was Ahmed, and the damages he suffered were not because of oversight or incompetence," said the letter to the city authorities.

    Since most people who go to parties are insipid and shallow, I see no reason he would even attend such events. Thinking is alien to them.

      I go to parties. We get drunk and talk about the stars. Maybe the problem is that people are going to the wrong parties with the wrong people.

        As an extreme introvert, parties are simply not my thing. Your description of a party sounds boring, as well as terrible because other people are there. That and I don't drink alcohol.

        Did I mention that I don't watch TV...?
