Lets be honest, sure, his race doesn't exactly support his case.
However, this thing can easily be mistaken to look like a bomb to someone who is ignorant in explosives. I really think there is more to this story then we are told. I do not believe that its a case of racism. Him still being punished and the bomb squad apparently not being called as suspicion. The media never tells you the entire story and I'm sure the police aren't saying it either. Guess we will have to wait for this to unfold.
But, this is one of the best things that has ever happened to him, he is 14 and has had major celebrities and genius minds reach out to him, Mark Zuckerberg being one of them, that alone makes me envy him.

I look at it like this; yes it's unfortunate. But at the same time you have to remember how easy it is to manufacture explosives and how simple they can be. For example an MRE IED. All you need is the heating element, Tabasco sauce, nails, and some water. That alone is enough to severely injure if not kill someone. I think after it was cleared to not be an explosive it should have ended there.

I feel like they profiled him just a little. They could have easily looked at the project and seen it was just a project. I mean seriously..Just because it has wires and a clock it was a bomb..If it was a white guy ( i am white i am not being racist) They wouldn't have even bothered to check into more info.
I see the reason of them looking in to it more but I also...I don't know. It seems like a huge amount of profiling but they also wanted to make sure everyone was safe.
Yes! But remember this, the teacher DID NOT run away for her life. She didn't call the police and called for the bomb squad. She didn't do the evacuation procedure. Instead she brought the kid to other room with many officers and arrest him right away. She just stood there as the bomb were never going to detonate at any times. There were no alerts. Teacher knew it wasn't a bomb. She just wanted to humiliate him.
