| Clock Boy threatens school district w lawsuit | |
| 2015-11-24 | |
Mohamed, 14, was arrested by Irving police in September after he brought a homemade digital clock to school that was mistaken for a bomb by Irving MacArthur High School faculty. The subsequent fallout made international headlines. Mohamed and his immediately family are now overseas in Qatar and enrolling in school after a foundation has offered to pay for his education. The letter demanding money from the city and district says that the family wants "more than anything to come home" to Irving. and nothing says "I love my city" like threatening to file suit against them The letter gives both the city and the district 60 days to pay up or else face a lawsuit. | |

| #11 Threatening lawyers is unwise, not to mention actionable. Would sending them a printed circuit board with a battery pack attached, that goes "tick-tick-tick", be considered a "threat" to any reasonable person? |

| #10 Is there anyone who didn't see the lawsuit coming, and wondered if the entire thing was a lawsuit scam from the start? |

| #5 If I use a fake gun in a robbery, do I get away with not being charge with 'armed robbery'? In most jurisdictions, there does not have to be an actual application of force in order for a theft to be considered robbery. It is usually sufficient if the victim believed that they would be harmed if they did not cooperate. Thus, most courts would consider the use of a fake weapon to be armed robbery. However, it is essential that the victim reasonably believes that the weapon was real and not fake. Also, if a toy gun is used to strike a victim during a robbery, then it actually becomes a weapon for legal purposes. - cite |

| #2 It was *not* a homemade clock - it was a radio-shack inserted into a briefcase. He did not 'invent' or 'create' anything - except a hoax bomb he 'set off' during english class. Charge them as terrorist for building a hoax-bomb (which is what it really was). |
