Rand alPaul posted:The Army Air Force actually bombed the workers on Blair Mountain. Here's one holding up a dud that didn't explode: Again, you're bringing up things that happened 94 years ago and you're getting the facts wrong to boot. The military didn't drop bombs at Blair mountain, privately hired civilian planes did. West Virginia history posted:On September 1, DeHavilland DH-4B bombers, each equipped with front- and rear-mounted machine guns and carrying tear gas and fragmentation bombs, began the three hundred and twenty mile flight from Langley Field to Charleston. After spending the night at Roanoke, Virginia, the planes crossed over the Appalachians and by late afternoon, eleven had landed at Kanawha Field. Of the twenty-one planes requested, only seventeen were in proper condition and managed to take off from Langley Field. Two planes experienced mechanical difficulties at Roanoke and one crashed there on take-off. Another bomber experienced engine difficulty over West Virginia and crash-landed near Beckley, while two others became lost in dense fog and ended up landing in Mooresburg, Tennessee. Four additional aircraft, twin-engine "box-like Martin bombers," from Aberdeen, Maryland, were also ordered to Kanawha Field but only three survived the flight. The total number of army aircraft in West Virginia by September 2 stood at fourteen. The bombers and their crews became an instant hit with the local population who had never seen so many military aircraft at one time in one place. Although neither the DeHavillands or Martins ever used their armament, they performed several reconnaissance missions and enjoyed the unique distinction of being the first air unit to participate in an American civil disturbance. Mitchell subsequently boasted how the "`Mingo War' provided an excellent example of the potentialities of air power, that can go wherever there is air, no matter whether they be over water or land."42

Unless posted:yeah i get the ignorance about electronics, explosives, law, and the nature of human beings you're demonstrating with racist undertones, but he wasn't making a bomb and what he's been put through is hosed up. knock it off. What he made looks similar to a home made bomb though and it's disingenuous the way people are playing it off like it doesn't.

Popular Thug Drink posted:you do know actual bombs don't have great big blinking light displays telling you how much time you have left to cut the blue wire, right? like this thing only looks like a bomb if you've never interacted with basic electronics at all. do you know how to change a battery, or the oil in your car? that's all the technical ability necessary to recognize what ahmed built as "not a bomb" The kid's teacher thought it looked like a bomb, but I can't speak to her level of technical know how. But take a look at all the IED detonators I posted, a bunch of them do have LCD screens, wires, and exposed circuit boards. Hell, I've gotten taken aside to a small room due to security at Frankfurt and Copenhagen x-raying my carry on and seeing all the wires and personal electronics in the bag. But I guess the security at international airports looking at a random collection of a cell phone, lap top, and digital camera and thinking it looked suspicious enough to investigate further is racial profiling against a bald white guy from the midwest.

Popular Thug Drink posted:hm yes i'm sure an overweight goonlord is treated in the same context at international airport customs as a 14 year old boy in his english class. this is totally a logical thing to think and not the collective outrage of racists getting mad that they were tricked by a teenager's idle crafts project You sure like making up your own reality. I said what he brought to school could be mistaken for a bomb, which is something his English teacher even said. I posted images showing devices that looked similar to what he brought to school and gave an example where even trained professionals would investigate a collection of innocuous electronics. You responded by calling me fat.

Popular Thug Drink posted:your argument is that anyone in possession of any collection of electronics can be reasonably assumed to be attempting to incite panic through some kind of nebulous bomb hoax which is really ridiculous My argument is that what he brought to school looks similar enough to an actual bomb to cause concern among anyone finding it, which is the same thing his English teacher said. Your argument is that a bare circuit board and wires don't look close enough to an actual device to cause concern. Which I find ridiculous.

Popular Thug Drink posted:but it didn't cause concern. the bomb squad wasn't called. the cops walked out with kid's clock in hand and tossed it in a car. nobody was worried about a bomb. they dragged the kid out in handcuffs because they were embarassed. this whole thing is just racists being embarrased because they overreacted in public where everyone could see how dumb they were, and the worst part is that they're still embarassing themselves doubling down on idiotic assertions about how they can't tell toaster ovens and bombs apart This is the part I have issue with. You keep purporting that what he brought to school doesn't look in any way similar to a bomb, when it did. http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/16/us/texas-student-ahmed-muslim-clock-bomb/index.html Ahmed posted:He recalled showing one teacher the clock and her telling him that she thought it was "nice" but he shouldn't show other instructors, according to the paper. The teen put the clock in his bookbag but an alarm beeped in the middle of sixth period and Ahmed showed the teacher what he had, the newspaper reported. The relevant part here is that the teacher thought it looked like a bomb. Not that it was a bomb, but that it looked like one. Under the school's rules you're not allowed to something that looks like a bomb to class. What he brought did look like a bomb in the teacher's opinion, and based on what he brought and what actual bombs look like, I agree that it does look like a bomb.

Hubis posted:So, what would you have done if you were this English Teacher / Principal? How does this play out in your head, exactly. If I was the teacher I would have confiscated it and taken it to the office. If I was the principal I would have had a sit down with the kid and then the parents and explained why it's not a good idea to bring things that could be mistaken for a bomb to school. I don't know the exact guidelines of the district in question, so I don't know how much leeway the staff has in dealing with these things.

Old timey anti-Communism. Check out 1:20 where a private Citizen keeps the police out by demanding to see a warrant, like that wouldn't be met with beating or an arrest for refusing to obey an officer at this point, probably back then too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVh75ylAUXY
