...and yet you still haven't apologized for your vitriolic reaction to people who came to that conclusion before you did. You unjustifiably attacked people who you agree with now.
Remember that next time.

But of course you can sue for any reason and any amount so may as well just make up a big number. He'll need that 15m to upgrade his cpu fab.
At first I was more on his side because of how ridiculously the school handled this, but more and more it seems he's just seeking attention at this point. Let the situation go and move on.

At the start that was not actually determined. People were just jumping to conclusions. I like to wait till the actual facts come out before making any calls. But despite the fact that it turns out he just did it for attention the school still did not act right about it. He still deserves some kind of compensation, just not 15 freaking million.
True now that this lawsuit came out it was probably more than just for attention, but for money. As much as I think he deserves an apology from the school, and some kind of compensation for what he was put through, 15 mil is just ridiculous and I hope he loses. Well, it's not so much him, it's the parents.
The school system has their hands tied and they are not legally allowed to release their evidence because of laws that protect student records and such. They are not allowed to discuss the exact reasons why he was detained including the exact words that he said to them unless the parents allow them to release it. They have strongly implied that if the family would allow them to share this information that they would be fully exonerated, but the family has not allowed it.Let it go to trial and sort out what happened. It is just how the justice system works for him to request an outlandish figure, so getting worked into a tizzy over that is just stupid. Even if he wins he won't get that much.
That is how the family wants to portray it. Authorities absolutely can detain someone and ask questions without legal representation. They can do it to you or me too. You don't have to answer and they don't have to provide legal representation unless they charge you. There are differences when dealing with a minor but they are still certainly allowed to ask questions and detain him. It's clear from the start that the parents intended to represent this as someone who was arrested unjustly and denied rights when we are not allowed to see their justification for detaining him and his rights were not denied (the parents were notified/called and conveniently never showed, sending the sister instead, etc). Are you seriously saying that an uncooperative individual carrying a device that very likely INTENDED to look like a bomb who intentionally answers vaguely or refuses to answer specific questions should not be held and questioned? I could easily carry my replica and answer in ways that would justifiably get me in the same situation.Regardless of his intentions, police detained and questioned him without legal representation. That is outright indefensible, and considering how regularly some of you have made a fuss about government oppression, I have no idea why you seem to think that is ok. It is entirely possible to take major issue with that, and also take issue with the kid and his parents' actions. But then it's pretty clear what the intentions of certain people have been. Both can be wrong here.
It's ABSOLUTE FACT that it was clearly an off-the-shelf manufacturers clock and that was obvious from the moment that the picture came out. He FLIPPED HIS LID at the suggestion that this clock was not home made and attacked us personally with laughably misguided assumptions including:Red Squirrel, you should really learn to actually know what the hell you're talking about before you post. You are so regularly astoundingly wrong or just saying whatever hyperbolic shit you think without bothering to know.
Sorry CZroe and your twin, but what you've presented is hardly absolute fact, so stop pretending it is (and you've got to be fucking kidding demanding apologies considering some of the shit you two have pulled).
Honestly, I have no Earthly idea what you are talking about. We called Ferguson from the day we became aware too and I am, once again, proud to have stood against the exact same kind of ignorance that was demonstrated in this thread. It was the same BS with people bandwagoning on baseless biased claims that the evidence ultimately proved wrong. We took the same position that you can't believe their ridiculous claims that fly in the face of reason and, once again, we were right.I seem to recall you did the same bullshit over the Ferguson situation, acting like the evidence proved something absolutely and then brushed it off when shown that the expert claim that you were using to prop up your argument was disputed by the exact same expert. Weird how you dismissed that, but now its ok to post trash literally made up by blogs?
Also odd is how you're making such a fuss about this kid being evasive when you dismissed outright lies with regards to Ferguson. That both of you have made a big deal about how the media are people and are flawed yet somehow you two act like you're not is straight bullshit. You two chastise others when you pick and choose facts almost as bad as anybody.
That post above is ridiculous. They don't pick and choose almost as bad as anybody.
Cover their attorney fees and award $100k 529 plan and call it a day.
We are sick of this story.
The judge dismissed claims against all defendants with prejudice and said that "no claims remain in this action."

The officers also had "arguable probable cause," justifying the use of reasonable force to make the arrest, the ruling said. It was alleged "that A.M. brought to school a device in a small box containing a circuit board, wires, and a timing display, repeatedly disobeyed a teacher who had told him to keep the device in his backpack, displayed and activated the device during class after being told to keep it in his backpack, and was less than forthcoming when he was questioned about the device," the ruling said.
