Haha. Yeah, after seeing what some of you all responded to my post, there are some majors issues with the teacher who reported this.

To be honest & only knowing the story over the internet, I am not sure the English teacher did anything wrong. Doesn't everybody carry around dual function bomb/alarm clocks? :) The administration and the police however way overreacted. At least the police had the common sense to admit it and drop it.

Hey, NASA has reached out:

Chris Hadfield ‏@Cmdr_Hadfield (NASA Astronaut)

Hi @IStandWithAhmed ! I'd love you to join us for our science show Generator in Toronto on 28 Oct. There's a ticket waiting for you.

Especially when it's white males that are the perpetrators of school place violence.

It also come down to zero-tolerance policies that removes administrators common sense from the equation.

I’m a grown man and this whole situation is so infuriating on so many levels that it makes me just want to cry because I am so ashamed of the level of racism, islamophobia, fear, and just plain ignorance, stupidity, and absurdity in this country.

Look how far we have come.
I was on the high school shooting team and I had a rifle at the school.
Recruit this student.

I've found a Twitter account and a Facebook page for 3370, but their listed website address is down and neither social media account has seen any activity since 2012.

Does anyone have any current contact info so that we can tip them off? (assuming, of course, that they haven't had the same idea already)

High school Trap shooting teams have become very popular lately in MN. But all related activities are done at shooting ranges, off school property.

From the news story:

He loved robotics club in middle school and was searching for a similar niche in his first few weeks of high school.
Somebody in TX find a way to contact him, his science (not English) teacher, or the principal.
