Judge tosses ‘Clock Boy' discrimination suit against school |
2017-05-19 |
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by the father of a Muslim boy who was arrested after taking a homemade clock to his high school in Texas. Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed sued the city of Irving, the Irving Independent School District and the principal of MacArthur High School on behalf of his son Ahmed Mohamed, whose arrest and three-day suspension for taking a clock ‐ mistaken by a teacher for a bomb ‐ to school on Sept. 14, 2015, attracted national headlines. Charges later were dropped, but Mohamed filed a lawsuit claiming his son's civil rights were violated by discrimination on the basis of his race and religion. The suit, which sought unspecified damages and attorney fees, also claimed city officials violated the then-14-year-old boy's rights under the Fourth and Fifth amendments during his interrogation and arrest. |

#4 I always call him 'Fake Bomb Boy' because that is what he is. He didn't 'invent' a clock. I doubt he even built it ( his father probably did or someone from CAIR). Somehow should ask him to build a second one. Under observation and without his father 'helping'. |

#2 I would hope that a losing plaintiff who sought compensation for attorney's fees would have to pay defendant's attorney's fees. Clockboy's family got off light. Loser pays would resolve a good deal of lawfare. |

#1 pretty obvious from the start that this was a CAIR put-up act to keep dhimmis afraid to spot the terrorists among them |
