Clockboy’s latest case dismissed
You probably remember Ahmed Mohammed known as “Clock Boy” around these parts, and you probably remember that his father Mohammed Mohammed was laughed out of court earlier this year in his suit against the Center for Security Policy. Well, he was laughed out of Federal Court again on May 18th when he tried to sue the city of Irving, Texas and the school district for embarrassing their son by not recognizing his clock-building skills. According to DFW ABC local news, a federal judge dismissed the lawsuit;
Mohamed’s attorney, Susan Hutchison, said Mayor Beth Van Duyne in her capacity as a public official was afforded immunity in the matter.
The original suit claimed Van Duyne and others were libelous in their statements about Ahmed Mohamed after he brought the clock to school in 2015.

While many people on social media were quick to show support for Mohamed, the high school freshman and his family also received several violent threats. That forced the family to move overseas so that the teen could study in Qatar. “I get a lot of hate,” Mohamed stated in August. “I got a lot of support in the beginning, but it’s the hate that sticks.”
According to court records, the family has until June 1st to file an amended complaint. The case was dismissed on May 18.
I’m betting that they will refile on June 1st because that’s how Mohammed Mohammed plans to feed his family, on sympathy and the kindness of folks who think that they can tell the difference between a bomb and clock – until that one time….

Yeah,
Mohammed Mohammed is a loser.
Mohammed Mohammed is pathetic.
Mohammed Mohammed deserves to be laughed out of court.
Mohammed Mohammed is a poor example of a father.
Mohammed Mohammed needs to go live in rural Pakistan.
They can go live in a cave in the Khyber pass for all I care.
They already tried that, they didn’t get nearly enough money being there. That is why they’re back in the US. To get more money.
Though the clock boy’s fame is done and over. No one cares anymore and I doubt he’s going to MIT either.
Money. Always follow the money. This is an attempt to wear down the voices of reason and to exploit big bucks from people who were simply doing their job.
Imagine if there had been a boom after examination and nothing was found out of the ordinary.
For what amounts to your average HS electronics class project?
Yeah, I’m kind of doubting it myself. Given that vacant look on his face, I’d say he’d come up about 800+ points short on the SAT.
Maybe he can hit up Obama for a couple of bucks.
I recently built a clock.

Back in the 70’s I built the original Heathkit digital clock. My first Heathkit transceiver was the HW-100. I later upgraded to the HW-101 while I was stationed in Germany.
I built a Heathkit version of the Colins KWM-2. SB-102 I think?
Dang – I didn’t even know Heathkit was still in business.
They used to be one way to get into ham radio inexpensively and work your way up.
No, I did this in the early ’70’s too. Sorry. Wasn’t clear.
I am surprised as well. I have a couple of Heath/Zenith computers over here, including the 30-pound “portable.” I remember when you could buy the kit and build a computer, but I never did that.
Looks like they’re still around.

The kid did not even build a clock, he DECONSTRUCTED IT:

I built the original Heathkit Digital Clock years and years ago. I still have it and it still works, and yes, it was about 40 years ago.
Damned Lutherans.
WAITAMINNIT, he looks more like a Jehovah’s Witness to me!!
Just as long as he’s not a Methodist I think we’ll be fine.
…until that one time… BOOM!
Clockboy can fuck off
Because the 10’s of thousands of dollars worth of consumer products given to the family by a-hole anti American companies like Microsoft wasn’t rewarding enough.
Fuck you, Clockmed.
“That forced the family to move overseas so that the teen could study in Qatar.” I like the way that’s stated. No attribution whatsoever is given; It’s a stone-cold fact. You can look it up. Besides, that what all Americans do–or most, anyway. You get threatened and you move to Qatar.
Makes me wonder why all those moron antifa protestors haven’t thought about moving to Qatar.
Oh wait, they’re morons.
Geez … this bozo is steady looking for freebies.
Guy wouldn’t have survived two weeks at reception in my group. It was wild and crazy where only the strong survived.
STFU, Coldiron.
Go hug an exploding bunny or something.
I am a retired electrical engineer.
Not a big deal but what I see here is a kid that took apart a cheap clock and mounted it’s guts in a briefcase. Sure looks suspicious as to motive and choice of components as well as the housing.
In my younger days I built various projects inside ammo cans. .30 cal and .50 cal were great as they are water tight, well shielded and look really cool. Even have a built in handle. Through panel connectors with water tight gromments worked great.
However, I ain’t buying Ahmed and Moe’s story.
Moe knew exactly what he was doing and used his own kid to do it. Fuck him.
It is truly gratifying to see this piece of shit and his son lose their case. Now, hopefully they will go to Qatar and never come to America again. And good riddance.
