    KDFW-TV reports (http://bit.ly/29iv20v ) 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed returned to Texas on Monday.

    The teenager says he’s happy to be back home and seeing his friends and family is his first priority. He will stay in Irving, the Dallas suburb where he used to live, before traveling around the U.S.

    Mohamed was arrested in September after a teacher mistook his homemade digital clock for a bomb, but he was quickly released. His family questioned whether he was mistreated due to his religion and eventually left Irving after reporting threats.

    “… arrest at a suburban Dallas high school when a homemade clock …”
    Homemade clock?! … he took the printed circuit board out of a clock and stuffed it into a box. Do you call that homemade? It could more correctly be called a plagiarized clock.
    Oh, and BTW, he left the wires dangling out of the box to make it looks suspicious.
    His sister was jealous that he got arrested, not her. The father is also a known no-good-nik. The point is, it wasn’t just a clock which was seemingly overreacted to by the authorities.
    As usual, AP/Reuters/UPI/CNN/BBC etc. are spinning the story to make it politically correct and make American police/justice appear to be racist and a laughingstock. Shame on you, filthy liars.

    In that case, I stand … as far away from Ahmed as I can.

    And tell me one person in this whole country, who cares? I always wondered what if there is no news to report, what would newspapers write?!
