This Week, in Zero Tolerance…

Remy is Straight Outta Homeroom.

In the wake of the Ahmed Mohamed clock attack, school zero tolerance policies have gotten no less depressing. Among the dastardly schoolboy perpetrators revealed this week were a boy who got suspended for looking at a girl's face and another for dealing a bag of sugar.

Remy also got caught up in the madness. Watch Straight Outta Homeroom above. Originally published on September 30, 2015.

I have zero tolerance... for anyone who dislikes Remy!

dastardly schoolboy perpetrators revealed this week were a boy who got suspended for looking at a girl's face and another for dealing a bag of sugar.

It's a wonder any African-American children are still in school!

When govt school becomes mandatory, we'll know what activities to tell our kids to do to be suspended, so they can avoid indictrination

Indocteration

brain washing.

Somebody named their little baby girl "Iverson"...

Must have been practice.

Like Keith Olbermann's bosses all I'm doing is firin'

How can you not have noticed by now the uncanny resemblance to a bomb was not accidental? I like the rap, but some honesty, please.

[Agammamon]

How many bombs have you seen?

Because I've seen a few hundred. Most of them looked like these

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_82_bomb

I'm sure your faithful viewing of 24 has given you plenty of insight on how the *FX* guys make a 'bomb' look - but FX guys are known for making cool-looking things, not *accuracy*.

I mean, FFS, the had the *aircraft* firing *ship-launched* missiles at the big UFO's in Independence Day. And if there was a movie that more accurately portrayed the looming alien apocalypse I don't know what it is.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE CLOCK LOOKED LIKE

[Irish ?s ESB]

Well, a teacher also wouldn't know what a bomb looked like. To a layman, I could see mistaking that for a hoax bomb.

It's certainly less egregious than a kid getting suspended for drawing a bomb on a piece of paper.

[Irish ?s ESB]

Although I'm not saying it was definitely a hoax. Just that I don't know what happened and this is a much stranger situation than most of the zero tolerance idiocy I come across.

[Agammamon]

We've been over this before in these comments.

1. Only a complete and utterly certifiable moron could confuse what is *obviously* a commercial quality pcb with a ton of extra buttons for a bomb. The first thing that should have come to mind is 'kid took apart some appliance'.

2. Bombs have things like *explosives*. And while the TSA goes on and on about 'liquid explosives' even *they* don't believe that there are *invisible* explosives.

3. Ultimately all this is irrelevant - the kid didn't actually *do* anything. And yet everyone seems to want him fried either as a bomb-maker or hoaxer WHEN HE'S DONE NEITHER

[Agammamon]

I mean, the teacher wouldn't have been able to recognize an IED to save his life - why not freak out over the pencil case? From the outside that could be an IED to an untrained eye. There's no telling *what's inside*.

[Irish ?s ESB]

I think people here tend to be smart and therefore assume that other people should be equally smart.

This is not the case. A lot of people would not know what that was. I'd actually argue an outright majority of people wouldn't know what that was.

[Agammamon]

I'd argue that a majority of people *would* know what that was - but use it as an excuse to freak out and get noticed.

Victimization culture.

[Irish ?s ESB]

Only a complete and utterly certifiable moron could confuse what is *obviously* a commercial quality pcb with a ton of extra buttons for a bomb.

Unionized. Public. School. Teacher.

[Agammamon]

Not even that is an excuse.

[The Hyperbole]

2. Bombs have things like *explosives*.

Well, I saw a TVshow/movie/documentary once where the explosive stuff was molded to look just like a phone or something, so that pcb board thing you talked about coulda been the explosive, man.

[Corning]

"Well, a teacher also wouldn't know what a bomb looked like."

A kid making a fake one would not know either.

Plus you know the thing about his sister...who I am sure the teacher/school admin knew about.

In case anyone was wondering what an actual bomb in a briefcase would look like.

Bonus: IED Visual Awareness Guide

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Huh. The bomber labels everything?

[Agammamon]

How do you think he keeps everything straight so he doesn't blow himself up.

There are old bombers, there are stupid bombers, there are no old stupid bombers.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

My favorite are the switches. Every one of those puts the bomber in grave danger.

[Heroic Mulatto]

And the thing is, that's not even what your average terrorist can make. That's the product of a trained Cold War-era intelligence operative.

[Suthenboy]

Bottom right corner. Person-borne IEDs. The guy wearing the turban with a stick of lit dynamite poking out of it. I like that one.

[TimothyZ]

His father's political activism on "islamophobia" (How convenient, he has all the social media apparatus ready) and his sister's bomb hoax background, are pretty widely known by now. The whole thing stinks to high heaven. This is a family of activists looking to seize upon victimhood. There are any number of bits of information that should cue off an intelligent person who is familiar with the islamophobia angle and it's media habits.

OT: I hate the punt out of bounds. The rule should be that any punt that goes out of bounds should bounce out, not go out on the fly. The penalty should be 15 yards against the spot where the punt went out.

[AlmightyJB]

Also, holding should be a 5 yard penalty, not 10.

[Vampire]

Just think if Flava Flave went to school in today's environment.

I don't think he'd make it passed 1st period before the pantswetters reported his clock and stood by as folks in blue costumes escalated the situation to violent levels.

I make up to $90 an hour working from my home. My story is that I quit working at Walmart to work online and with a little effort I easily bring in around $40h to $86h? Someone was good to me by sharing this link with me, so now i am hoping i could help someone else out there by sharing this link... Try it, you won't regret it!......
