Current Events > Ahmed "The Clock Boy" Mohamed General.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Remember the Muslim student who was arrested for bringing a 'clock' that looked more like a bomb to school? Remember how the mainstream media fawned over him as Barack Obama invited him and his 'cool clock' to the White House? He's back in the news.

Ahmed is seeking $15 MILLION in damages.

The letters claim that Mohamed's civil rights were violated, and he and his family have suffered physical and mental anguish because of the ordeal. They also claim he was singled out “because of his race, national origin, and religion.”

We can only hope this lawsuit blows up in Ahmed Mohamed's face.


Moments after the arrest.


Clock or bomb? Judge for yourself.


A few weeks after the incident.

9 ways the world is supporting this clock kid

1. HE GOT INVITED TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
President Obama, who hosted the first White House Maker Faire last year, invited the 9th grader to come to the capital for Astronomy Night on October 19:

Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great.

— President Obama (@POTUS) September 16, 2015

2. THE INTERNET’S FAVORITE ASTRONAUT INVITED HIM TO HIS SCIENCE SHOW.
Chris Hadfield, former International Space Station Commander, invited him to Toronto to see his science show, Generator. The local Four Seasons tweeted that he’ll have a free room if he goes.

Hi @IStandWithAhmed ! I'd love you to join us for our science show Generator in Toronto on 28 Oct. There's a ticket waiting for you.

He also got some online encouragement from other astronauts, like Scott Parazynski.

The official @NASA Twitter account hasn't extended an invitation (though NASA HQ did mention him in a tweet), but individual NASA scientists working at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have let him know that he can come by for a tour:

Infact, I think the whole of JPL would welcome Ahmed with open arms. #IStandWithAhmed https://t.co/9FU3ZlHkCi

Had anyone created The Cool Clock Kid in a video game?

This is a really unhealthy obsession

He knew exactly what he was doing. As did his entire family.
---

Oh God Questlove is in on this

This has gone too far

Amazing. Looks like the 24 video game spin-off I've always wanted.

I saw Ahmed 'Cool Clock Kid' Mohamed at a grocery store in Irving yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet his clock in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence to his clock,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
