Clock kid Ahmed Mohamed, the Muslim teenager who was arrested for bringing a clock contraption to school, is now demanding $15 million from the city of Irving, Texas and the school system.
Mohamed, 14, dumped the innards out of a working clock and stuffed the wires and power source into a pencil box. He took the contraption to school and showed it to at least 6 teachers before one of them gave him the response he was looking for.
His arrest sparked a liberal uproar that extended all the way to the White House.
President Barack Obama, who was raised Muslim, met with the junior jihadi at a White House event in September.
Mohamed and his family also met with Mark Zuckerburg, CEO of Facebook, and he toured Google’s headquarters and the United Nations before jetting off for an all-expenses paid trip to the Middle East.
The son of a Sudanese activist, Mohamed accused the school and the Irving Police Dept. of overreacting to his pencil case clock.
Mohamed’s law firm sent letters to the city of Irving and the Dallas school system, demanding $10 million in compensation from the city and $5 million from the school.
“Ahmed clearly was singled out because of his race, national origin and religion,” wrote attorney Kelly Hollingsworth in the law firm’s demand letter.
The lawyers noted that Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne called Mohamed’s clock contraption a “hoax bomb” during an appearance on Glenn Beck’s show.
“Not only was this dangerous ‘baiting’ that destroyed any chance the Mohamed family ever had of being truly safe and secure in the United States, but it was also defamatory,” the lawyers wrote.
But once the details of Mohamed’s deception became public, the family fled Irving and moved to Qatar, where Mohamed was offered two scholarships.
The demand letters precede the preliminary stage to negotiate for a settlement.
Good Morning Roses.
I think it’s his parents who are demanding 15 million. Not the kid. But either way, they are correct. Tuh. LOL his parents said, these hoes got me mistaken. hahahahhaha. Yeah, but they need to pay this family. That whole thing was bogus.

How?!
Thank you
Congrats to you dear…. where you going for your honey moon?
Yep you don’t have to ask that question.
met with the junior jihadi
^^^^^^^^
Where I stopped.
How? Hm.. Well, b/c that little boy and his older sister/parents knew damn well, if he took a clock looking bomb to school what would occur.. Please, don’t think for one minute they didn’t know how the school would react.
But the school did not even respond as if it was a bomb.
Out of control. Mind you if they were black…matter of fact, let me not even start that.
Congrats Smartypants!!!!
“I built a clock to impress my teacher but when I showed it to her, she thought it was a threat to her,” Ahmed told reporters Wednesday. “It was really sad that she took the wrong impression of it.”
LOL.. He knew what he was doing and so did his parents.
Again, the bomb squad was not called. The school was not evacuated to insure the safety of the other students from said bomb. No bomb sniffing dogs. Nothing. Questioned this MINOR without calling his parents and then cuffed and charged him. The school and that police district handled the entire thing wrong. If they really thought it was a bomb, nothing they did shows that. No procedures were followed. They are going to end up paying them. Because if this had been a little white kid, it would of never made the news. All because of what he looked like.
i did, because i didn’t hear about it is all. i wanted to know if it worsened particularly after the france attacks and such. or if he was experiencing discrimination prior to the clock.
All of this^^^
Good mornting
All b/c of what he looked like.. And you don’t think him and his parents thought of all this??? Lmaoooo I’m not falling for the okie doke.
Pay up.
that person sounds like a troll… logic does not work.
nope. not at all.
Congratulaaaaaaaations…
No trolls here.. LOL I just have my own opinions on the matter
But, good day to you
Congratulations!!!!
Uh no he was “singled out” because he brought something that looked like a bomb into school, seems like this was his idea all along and these people are stupid enough to go along with his plan of a ridiculous lawsuit that should be thrown straight out
Congratulations!!!! Wishing you blessings on blessings on blessings!!!
The school did not respond appropriately to what they perceived to be a threat. But had the school responded appropriately, would the family still have grounds to sue?
Had the school responded appropriately, the boy’s parents would’ve been contacted, and they would’ve been present when the boy was questioned by police. Had that responded appropriately, I don’t think the boy’s parents would’ve had a leg to stand on.
To me, no. Because had the school and the police responded appropriately, they could of said that it is standard procedure for what looks like bomb or bomb calls. Regardless of who it is. But because they did NONE of what should of been done, they are now being sued. But really, the fact that they never even tried to evacuate the school tells me they KNEW it was not a bomb and harassed that kid anyway.
…
Exactly. The school knew it was not a damn bomb. Because if they did, and did nothing, a whole lot of parents can take issue with them. I for one would be HOT, because yall thought it was a bomb and left my kid in the school while yall tried to figure it out? WTF type of plan is that? Nope. The school messed this up big time. And the cops.
MORNING!
WHICH ONE OF THE ROSES CALLED IT? MORE FAKE THAN BALLOON BOY…OR BALLOON BABY…ONE OF EM.
EDIT: SO I’M ON THE FENCE AFTER READING THE WRITE UP…POSSIBLE PLOY BUT THEY DID DO IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO HIS REPUTATION, NAME, RACE, RELIGION…ETC.
GTFOH
Agreed. I would’ve been an upset parent as well. The clock did look like a bomb and taking the right precautions would’ve reinforced their belief that it was a bomb…they dropped the ball
That’s extremely racist to call this young child a junior jihadist, you are certainly seeking reactions this morning.
Sure did. All the way around.
Just because you think something, that doesn’t make it true.
Indeed.
Word. Lol! Islamophobia is a disease.
I swear I used the term Jr. Jihadi on here…not in reference to this young man specifically but in reference to the real Jr. Jihadi’s out here in the world not needing to focus on making explosive devices…I sense copyright infringement ????
New Post – Jeezy & some positivity
WELCOME TO THE BALL-N-CHAIN LIFE…IT HAS ITS PERKS BUT IT HAS ITS DAYS TOO.
I’ve said it before…not about young homie but I have referred to people as jr jihadists…I called my friend Fatima’s son one the other day. We laughed…I guess it wasn’t funny though ?
Thank you. LOL
We have ppl in this country that hate you because of the color of your skin. WHY would THIS be any different?
I disagree. I agree they should get something for the emotional distress and racial profiling, but $15 million is a ridiculous sum, especially since he has suffered no resulting damages.
*Edited to add that I just realized you said they need to be paid some sum of money, not necessarily $15 mill.
Awwww, Smarty. Congratulations ???????????
They still would have sued (and had grounds for it) for the racial profiling and the alleged harassment of him and his sister prior to the “bomb” thing.
Probably…white folks are crazy…you see how they did that lion man…
O and how they did octomom too…
I’m thinking no because they would have taken precautions as to what they believed was a true threat. They didn’t handle this properly, whether he was attention seeking or not.
Awww. You brightened my day. Congratulations.
Okay, you can go sit down now, Little Boy. I tried to have your back, but enough is enough.
Good morning beautiful Roses is all I’ve got.
I’m happy for you ???
Good morning!
I just don’t see it to the tune of $15M. Yes, they deserve money, etc. but this amount? But, hey if they get it…….MORE POWER and can I borrow their attorney.
Mernin
Am I the only one who can’t see the new post?!
I don’t see them getting 15 million, but they will be paid. maybe 2.
Right. Some money, yes. 15 million….no. But they should be paid.
Oh my b. Seemed like it bc the other poster seemed to offer weight behind her stance and all you did was repeat the same thing with nothing to support it. Thanks – lol I actually am having a horrible day as I’m sick but I hope you have a good day too!
Good Morning Everybody!
That little boy and his big sister have both been suspended several times. I think the school took it to far in the way they handled this situation but 15 million is a lot. Too much..,.
I have a very low opiion ofthis kid, as a no nonsense volunteer teacher I can’t stand trouble makers. Wish he’d have been in my class. I’d have handled that situation with a quickness. Nobody would have ever even known.
Sit down somewhere, you and your parents. If your invention was indeed a “clock” you’d know your 15 minutes were up. BYE.
Boy they taught this kid the ropes early. This kid and his family knew the reaction his project would get. The school and police played right into their plan. The city will settle for about 5 million. We will be reading about this kid in the paper one day. Let’s just say I wouldn’t live next door to this family. They’re dangerous and they think they’re slick.
This is ridiculous. I rather be safe than sorry.
Smh that’s American of him.
We had a bomb threat called in at our school and NEITHER parents nor teachers were notified. They cancelled after school activities and told employees to check our emails at a certain time. That is when we found out!
It’s not going to be ESPECIALLY since the president invited him to the White House. It sort of gave credence that he was treated unfairly
Congratlations!
Fact Not Published by PC Media: the boy’s parents Refused to Give Permission to let the school tell the bigger story. And the bigger picture is this kid had many demerits or whatever they call it based on misbehavior. Simply search and ye shall find, Just Keya;)
I’m tired of this kid. People face racism everyday. Those people come to america and look down on black and Spanish people . He just got a wake up call on what white America thinks of them
