He built a clock and was arrested for it. He is 14-years-old.
If ever there was proof of the often hysterical nature of American law enforcement, it was the arrest of 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed last week for bringing a clock to school.
A teacher called the police, with Mohamed suspected of a ‘bomb hoax,’ and he was promptly taken into custody.
Ahmed was released and received messages from both Barack Obama and Mark Zuckerberg hoping to meet him.
However, the feeling that he was humiliated due to his ethnic background remains, and this Facebook post will strike a chord with many people.
