At least the story has a pretty good ending. Kid has gotten tons of support from the interwebs to the President & astronauts.

The kid has a bright future for sure. But that arrest could have easily fucked over his future had he not gained this press and notoriety.

This story was fucking stupid for a host of reasons.
Here is the device in question:
1. The kid was an idiot for not listening to his engineering teacher when he was told to not go around school with it or take it to any other classes.
2. The hashtag activism on this deal was dumb as hell. Most people were making jokes like it was your typical wall clock. It wasn't/isn't.
3. Obama, Hillary, and any other politician trying to ride the coattails of this shit is dumb. If anyone of us walked up to Obama or Hillary with that thing we'd be tackled, shot, whatever almost immediately.
4. The only two people with a at least partial brain in this situation were the engineering teacher who told the kid to not carry it around and the teacher who turned the kid in and was trying to be better safe than sorry. The police were heavy handed and the social media reaction was over the top and dumb.
5. Everyone is jumping to the race angle on this but I really doubt how much that had to do with it. If a white kid brought that to school I have zero doubt he's getting turned in as well.

Social media activism is, indeed, one of the most pathetic displays of modern "culture" I can think of. Had me rolling when all of a sudden everyone cared about lions in Africa a few months ago with absolutely zero understanding of the situation there.

Please point to the part that explodes, or looks like it should explode.
Because a thing has a circuit board and wires suddenly means it's a bomb? Sorry, but this is dumb as ****. As I think we all know, you have to plug bombs into wall outlets otherwise they won't detonate.

Explosives can be very small and that is a trick cord to fool the cops.

I believe the white man invented this thing called a gun safe. Those clever anglo-saxons. What'll they think of next....

I need a safe. Have too many guns not too. Kids too but they were all trained early. My children are lethal so I really need to lock the guns up just in case. All the ammo is lock and key except for the handy loaded one which only the wife and I know it's location. Built a mount behind the master toilet. Too much godfather I guess. Also have a bedside over under coach but the ammo is hidden near by. Kids are smart. Bet mine know where it is. **** it. Need a safe. Shame they cost so much. Not counting delivery which is a must for that item. Dammit.
