How does that play into their evil plot?



The more of your posts I read the more I believe that you are biased against Muslims.  Do you blame women who wear sexy clothes if they get raped?

Maybe if you explained your thinking a little better.

What do you think this family wanted?  What exactly have you read that leads you to this conclusion?  Because I have not seen anything that would lead me to believe this was all some sort of stunt to get the kid arrested.

I'd wager they were still sore over that and wanted to embarrass the school in an act of revenge.

What do they want to hide ?

(09-29-2015, 05:09 PM)fredtoast Wrote: So you see the fact that his sister may also have been the victim of discrimination as supporting the school?

I see it as more proof that this school has a problem with discriminating against Muslims.

In fact I believe that many people at this school were already out to get this kid just because of some statements his father had made.

You KNOW that !

And what part of this clock looked like any type of explosives?  Don't you need some type of explosives to make a bomb or something that looked like a bomb?

(09-29-2015, 05:30 PM)fredtoast Wrote: Not true.  Both the police and the school have released several statements about the investigation and interrogation.  

What do YOU think they are trying to hide?

(09-29-2015, 05:31 PM)fredtoast Wrote: Because all victims of discrimination want to be victims of discrimination?

Brilliant logic.

I really do not expect an every day teacher to know how to identify such things.

I really feel blessed that you think I warrant that much attention.

(09-29-2015, 07:06 PM)fredtoast Wrote: But there were not even any "fake" explosives for a teacher to attempt to identify.

I may not be able to 100% identify explosives either, but I know there are no invisible explosives out there.

I have yet to see specific quotes from the boy and a detailed interrogation timeline.
