Do you intend to suggest that Ahmed should have gone to jail, and that the teachers, administrators, cops, and prosecutors who tried to send him there were somehow wronged by the "Internet mob"?
Absolutely not. Sending a kid to jail because he brought a clock to school is silly.
However, a kid who bought a clock from the 80s, than repackaged it in a pencil box claiming it his 'invention', and put a timer on it making it beep in class, who was then evasive when answering questions, on the day after 9/11 anniversary, definitely deserves some suspicion.
What I object to is the praise he's gotten, from Obama to Zuckerberg. Without even one look at the facts of the situation.
'Cause that would be silly...
