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.

What the fuck does any of that have to do with this kid bringing a clock that could be viewed as a bomb in this paranoid society to school? All this fearmongering and panicking demonstrably leads to a reduction in liberties, makes people afraid to even do simple tinkering, and serves to disprove the notion that we are a land of freedom and bravery. Even if this *was* a stunt and they somehow predicted all this, it's still absolutely absurd the school and the police acted the way they did. They deserve to be punished.
This was unfairly modded as troll.
