Hoax Bomb: Here's the Statute Ahmed Mohammed Was Suspected of Having Violated

"Suspicious" "Threat"

From Ben Shapiro:

Here’s the statute Ahmed Mohammed authorities originally suspected Mohammed of violating (Texas Penal Code Section 46.08): 

(a) A person commits an offense if the person knowingly manufactures, sells, purchases, transports, or possesses a hoax bomb with intent to use the hoax bomb to: 

(1) make another believe that the hoax bomb is an explosive or incendiary device; or 

(2) cause alarm or reaction of any type by an official of a public safety agency or volunteer agency organized to deal with emergencies. 

(b) An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor. Nobody said Mohammed built an actual bomb. 

They suspected that he had wanted to frighten or alarm officials with a hoax-bomb. When they found out he didn’t intend to do that, they released him. Given the limited evidence available, this is not far-fetched. 

Again, where was the engineering teacher to vouch for Mohammed’s story? 

Why didn’t Mohammed simply explain himself? 

The police said that initially, it was “not immediately evident” that the clock-in-a-case was a class experiment – perfectly plausible, given that Mohammed built the clock-in-a-case voluntarily, without assignment, and in conjunction with no science fair. 

According to the cops, Ahmed was significantly more cooperative with friendly media than with the police who came to ask some simple questions. That’s probably not a coincidence. Ahmed’s father, as Pamela Geller points out, is an anti-Islamophobia media gadfly. He routinely returns to Sudan to run for president; he has debated anti-Koran Florida pastor Terry Jones, partially in order to bring his children to Disneyworld. 

In 2011, the Washington Post wrote of him: 

Elhassan, a native of the Sudan who is now an American citizen, likes to call himself a sheik. He wears a cleric’s flowing white robes and claims hundreds of followers throughout Egypt, Sudan and in the United States. But he is unknown as a scholar or holy man in the state he has called home for two decades. Religious leaders in Texas say they have never heard of Elhassan, including the imam at the mosque where he worships.   

It’s no surprise that Ahmed Mohammed’s dad ran to the cameras at the first opportunity. It’s also no surprise that the terror-connected Council on American-Islamic Relations arrived to push the Islamophobia narrative immediately.

Ahmed is working on his next "invention": He calls it,

"A Lunch Box"

Islamophobes like Pastorius call it a "Suitcase Nuke"

Just so you know, that's cuz Pastorius is a racist.
