The detail where the parents were never told is also the detail that gives away that they never believed he had a bomb. If he really did carry around something suspicious, the first thing to do would be to ransack his home to find the rest of the explosives, as well as secure evidence etc.
Doing this to a 12 year old and blanket the whole thing with legal grey areas is the best way to show all brown people in that community that they’re considered secondary citizens.
The whole point of family wealth is the freedom to attend expensive schools and graduate with unscathed ignorance and the qualifications of your choice.
I guess there are more than enough of these dumb fuck school administrators to actually keep a large crop of Texas lawyers busy for a long time! Great time to be a lawyer in good ol’ Texas!
Clearly he’s guilty of being brown and different.
Fuck you Texas!
If Texas cuts off vicious ignorance, there won’t be much left.
I don’t know about you, but I was impressed that mindless racists have learned to use spelling and grammar checkers. All we need now is to put psilocybin in their water supply.
Actually there is no shortage, Daesh is funneling abundant supplies cheaply through Turkey.
mad-cons you mean?
There will be a lot more Left, i suspect.
They can’t afford to.
It depends upon how offensive stupidity is to a given reader.
For me, the third shoe will have dropped when we hear that some armed authority figure got scared when he saw an apparent ‘bomb’ strapped on the boy’s ankle, and…

Here’s a video review of the bag:
It’s a bag with an integrated battery for charging cell phones.
How’d you find it? I found the same link via google images, but there must have been an easier way.
NO! Thank Gods’ of all flavors. I’m deep in the Shawnee National Forest area in the very southern tip of Illinois. 15 miles from a town and in a county of about 16,000 people…lots of 60’s drop-outs from Southern Illinois University. Way too overcrowded of course but the decent folks vs knuckle dragging dumb-ass leans to the decent side.
That’s a beautiful part of the state! Sorry to get your location mixed up like that.
This is a feature, not a bug for people who want to live in a police state.
Excuse me. The folks in the Carolinas who made that complaint were talking about a solar farm that takes up lots of land. They were talking about rows & rows of solar panels blocking plants underneath them with their shadow. When you consider this, then their concern doesn’t seem so batshit crazy.
