Your opinion philosslayer Nov 2015 #18

He put together parts to work as a clock, that his teacher knew functioned as a clock, pnwmom Nov 2015 #33

He put a clock back together. 840high Nov 2015 #39

SO WHAT??????? The issue is that it was never a fake bomb. And they knew that. pnwmom Nov 2015 #41

he didn't build a clock- he took one apart and put in in a wooden box snooper2 Nov 2015 #11

It's fact not RW BS. 840high Nov 2015 #40

It's a FACT that they knew it was a clock -- he had shown his teacher and the school knew -- pnwmom Nov 2015 #43

that teacher also told him to keep it in his backpack because it looked like a bomb BlueStateLib Nov 2015 #53

They KNEW it wasn't a bomb. Everything else is just smoke and mirrors. n/t pnwmom Nov 2015 #54
