This is only easy to misunderstand if you have the intelligence of a two year old.
I saw a comment on that YouTube video that made me chuckle.
"MY GOD! THIS BOMB, THIS BOMB IS COUNTING UPWARDS!"
Plus, where are the explosives? For something to be a bomb, there needs to be something that, you know... explodes. A timer, even if not a clock, isn't a bomb.

A moron doesn't know that.
The science teacher he first showed it to should. As should the principal, especially before you call the police.

I find it sad that the first teacher he showed it too said, "That's cool, but don't show it to anyone else." Like he kinda knew people would irrationally freak out about it.
I am really quite unbearably sad about this whole thing. Did you see that Ahmed said he would never bring another invention to school again?
This story is a perfect storm for making me want to pull my hair out. The teenager in me is enraged because this is typical hacker-fear paranoia. The adult in me is enraged because it's another horrible story of how America chews up and spits out black boys.
Article's by Mike Cernovich, notorious redpiller, not even worth reading.
Notorious redpiller is a bit of a no-sell. The dude is completely nuts - He thinks straight men can't get HIV, for example, and if you're straight and have HIV, you're either sharing needles with gay men, or you're secretly gay. He's been accused of rape. He's an unabashed racist sorry, I mean RACe realIST, is practically psychotically obsessed with "SJWs" and how they actually rule the world in every possible form and facet. He's also well known to be a liar.
Oh and there was that time he tried to make legal threats against the IGDA, because the GGautoblocker somehow constituted a gross violation of freedom of speech. Which went about as well as you'd expect.
Wait, 180? Jeez I heard about this the other day but I just thought he robbed a bunch of shit from a store and got caught later, not an ongoing scheme.
Anyone held by police not convicted of the crime for which they were held should be paid minimum wage for the time they were without liberty.
Stuck in jail for 3 days over a dubious arrest and then acquitted? 72 hours of minimum wage paid by the police that arrested you.
You should get more. Not only is jail way worse than a minimum wage job, so deserves more compensation, but there's an even easier argument than that. 72 hours straight includes a lot of overtime. Every hour past the 8th deserves at least 1.5x, and that should probably keep increasing as time goes on.

Way to fuckin' go, America.
That's the line that got me. Human rights are being violated everywhere.
And talking about telephone cords made me feel old.

This country is so fucked.
