Ahmed Mohamed (clock bomb kid)'s family demanding $15M in damages - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Killer900;49172019]slightly older by what 5 minutes? This kid doesn't affect any of you in any way, while companies tax evading certainly does. If all this anger was directed towards that maybe something would get done, its slim but you've got a better chance at that than whatever people are trying to accomplish by getting angry over this. and this is more newsworthy? This kid might get a couple million dollars of tax payer money whilst big corporations avoid paying tens of millions of taxes year after year, but we should be more angry at the kid because???[/QUOTE] How about you just leave this thread if all you're going to do is bitch about the people reading it.

They're just pointing out how it's odd to still remain vindictive after he have had everything given to him on a silver platter.

[QUOTE=Toro;49171996]lol, I can't wait till this kid gets fucked up the ass by the real world.[/QUOTE] the real world is giving the fella a blowjob tbh

[QUOTE=SelfishDragon;49171721]Got to meet with the President and NASA staff, various television interviews, Big Bang Theory appearence, A scholarship to Qatar, and is heralded as a young genius inventor for basically gutting a clock and having retarded school officials over-react.[/QUOTE] He did all of that because of gutting a clock? What the fuck?

[IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5e/Ahmed_Mohamed_Clock_by_Irving_PD.jpg[/IMG] I'm sorry but if your clock looks like this and you expect nothing to come of it, then you especially have zero right to sue for defamation.

The kid at this point isn't even living in the US, this is too far at this point

lol this kid and his family, I can't even comprehend how someone can grow such a huge dick on their forehead without it weighing down their head to the point of it being hazardous

I feel sorry for the 8 year old chinese kid who actually built the clock.

Aren't they in Qatar now? How do they expect a school in America to pay damages now?

From victim to opportunist, if ever a victim.

lol don't blame the kid blame the parents

its fucking petty that anyone ever gave that much attention to him to boot there have been rape/murder victims with far more tragic stories than this person but [del]we[/del] magazines don't call them a national hero

Do these people after everything have absolutely no dignity or self respect. That's real disgusting

[QUOTE=man with hat;49172146]How about you just leave this thread if all you're going to do is bitch about the people reading it.[/QUOTE]Guess caring more about tax evading than a kid whose sole purpose to the media is to generate clicks is now bitching, thanks man.

This kid has gotten more opportunity than any average joe probably will ever get in their lifetimes. It sucks that the kid most likely has no hand in this ridiculous demand, what are the parents like? I can't recall hearing much about them but now this makes me kinda suspicious and curious. Also gotta love them demanding money out of the school specifically. Thanks jackasses, just because your kid had to go under this shit doesn't mean hundreds of more students education should suffer.

[QUOTE=kweh;49173629]Why the fuck is he even a national hero?[/QUOTE] I suppose I may have been hyperbolic but apparently time magazine honored him or something its really fucking stupid

[QUOTE=_jesterk;49171708]i'd expect them to settle out of court for an 'undisclosed amount' in a few months.[/QUOTE] This is what's going to happen. Just like pretty much every suit, the plaintiff will likely ask for an absurd amount of damages but the actual amount settled on will be significantly lower.

This is solid confirmation that this kid isn't a terrorist. Only an American would do this.

[QUOTE=usaokay;49171947]They only asked for $15 million because you know there's going to be a settlement.[/QUOTE] Really hoping Iriving isnt completely spineless and fights this to set an example. Perhaps filing that its frivolous since his claims are factually not true.

[QUOTE=usaokay;49171947]They only asked for $15 million because you know there's going to be a settlement.[/QUOTE] This is incredibly likely. It's possible that their lawyers are the ones demanding the sum, but it's still a ridiculous sum to ask for. I mean fuck, we all know the kid got the short end with how they handled his clock project, and people gave him support, which is cool, but he gets a trip to the White House, public support, and didn't he even get scholarship offers? For putting the guts of a clock into a pencil case, resulting in idiots thinking it's a bomb. That's just straight-up pants-on-head retarded.

But it all got blown waaay out of proportion

[QUOTE=Protocol7;49171641]Notwithstanding the achievement or lack thereof with his "clock", if you think the "damages" you received are worth $15 million, in spite of the overwhelming support you received, you can fuck right off.[/QUOTE] I get it if you sue after bad publicity, if the media labeled him as terrorist and publicly shamed his family. But I have the feeling almost only good came out of this for them. Why still sue?

[QUOTE=Joeyl10;49171633]golly and we wonder why our schools are underfunded shitholes[/QUOTE] Well. Ironically it will be his school that suffers the most. Although if he has that much money to use he probably won't be attending it anymore.

Didn't his father say that the Jews did 9/11?

Also. The school will counter sue for the bomb threat their family made sometime ago, right?

Reading the article it sounds like their attorneys are doing this.

[QUOTE] The letters demand $10 million be paid to the family by the city of Irving, and $5 million from the school district.[/QUOTE] Take a guess who's gonna end up paying for that... :dance: Seriously, what an idiot.

Welp looks like yall were right all a long. What a shit (and the lawyers who convinced his family to do this).

[QUOTE=Map in a box;49171885]i wonder what the kid thinks of this and the school should countersue with something i don't know what yet just something.[/QUOTE] ooooooh counter suing, they should settle this on judge judy
