'Clock Boy' Ahmed's Demand Letter: Pay Up or Else!

On Monday, the family of Ahmed Mohamed demanded $15 million -- $10 million from the City of Irving and $5 million from the Irving Independent School District. A 10-page letter to the Irving City Attorney and a similar 9-page letter to the school district attorney allege innumerable claims about "Clock Boy's" Sept. 14 arrest, among them 'Islamophobia.'

No. If he was such a smart kid, you'd think he would realized that he should've asked his teacher first then brought it in. Based on the world's climate on terrorist threats and he is muslim, put 2 and 2 together. Just saying.

You know what...I think any question of the various "motives" behind just about anything ends when the person(s) in question start demanding money. If the coke machine takes my quarter, I justly want the owner to either refund my quarter...or give me a $.25 credit on a coke...not $1M in "damages".

How about a kick in the pants for bringing a clock that looks like a bomb to school, and another for portraying his kit clock as original scientific work?

He is a good old American citizen defending his rights and demanding restitution for the invasion of his privacy. Our litigious society bears fruit.

So the attorney for the kid who got arrested for bringing the "clock" to school is threatening to sue the city and the School District for 15 million, in a demand letter contained in the Breibart Article. Too bad for Christians who are being murdered and run off their lands in Syria, and having their churches burned down in Egypt. Who gets them 15 million in law suits in Muslim countries? I hope a good Texas Jury sees through this BS and awards that kid a whopping $1.00 for damages. Get a grip! He gets invited to the White House by Obummer, gets national press coverage, offers for free college, and yet his lazy-ass family wants 15 million for his "false arrest." "Get the F__k out of here!" In my best post 9/11 New York City Brooklyn Accent. According to the Breibart article, Ahmed and his family have now "relocated" to Quatar, which has apparently offered the Ahmed and his family, all living expenses paid, and free college tuition for Ahmed at a Qatar Foundation School. Meanwhile, the relatives of deceased victims of police homicides, usually settle with the the cities, counties, and state governments and their police agencies for considerably less than half of the 15 million that Mr. Hollingsworth and his firm is extorting from the City of Irving and their school district for the alleged "false arrest and humiliation" that Ahmed suffered for bringing his clock to school. Ahmed and his family are reaping wonderful rewards for the positive publicity that Ahmed received for the overblown incident. I truly hope their relocation to Quatar is permanent, minus any financial settlement they hope to receive from the City of Irvine, and its school district.

Update- Sympathy for Ahmed dries up in light of family's move to Qatar, and the extortionist demand for 15 million. When life gets tough for most American Families, or "shit happens," the vast majority of us can't get a Conservative Arab Muslim Petrol Gulf State to give us a Golden Parachute, all expenses paid to another country. I wonder if Obummer still thinks Ahmed and his family are great representatives of the US, uh, I mean Qatar. I profusely apologize to all of you here, that I voted for that clown Obummer twice to be our CinC. As Sarah Palin said back in 2010 "How's that hopey, changey stuff working out for you?" Not too good. I plan on seeing Sarah Palin at her book signing at my local gun club where I am a member this weekend and tell her she was right about Obummer.

Ahmed’s shakedown: Sympathy vanishes for the teen clock maker

Whatever sympathy America had for Ahmed Mohamed has been extinguished, thanks to a shameless money grab by the teen’s family. The 14-year-old who was handcuffed and detained after taking a homemade clock to school in Irving, Texas, became a celebrity and a symbol of American Islamophobia. The family’s actions since the arrest, however, erase months of goodwill and have even raised suspicions in some circles that the incident was actually a...

Capt Lance Gallardo Update on this young man is: October 2015, the family decided to move to Qatar, where Mohamed plans to continue his education in the capital city Doha with a scholarship from the Qatar Foundation for Education and will attend Qatar Academy. "Attorney Laura Peterson, who chaired the Texas State Bar of Juvenile Law last year and defends minors in court regularly, saw little merit in Ahmed’s legal claims. She debunked key allegations made by West Texas lawyer Kelly Hollingsworth, the latest legal counsel representing the Mohamed family’s interests."
