when i was in high school we bought a junk car for joyriding (it was $250) and parked it on the side of the road. the cops decided it was a bomb and evacuated 15 houses and called in a helicopter and a bomb robot and it was on the local news as a new years eve millennium bomb threat. they were reap mad when we showed up and told them it was just a junk car.







This is hilarious and if you didn’t actually read the article you should.

I like that they use the word "confessed" in reference to "parking a dilapidated car at the location."

that reporter gave the cops an awful lot of praise for going through the due diligence of "calling the family who lived there" before blowing it up in a residential neighborhood

what actually happened was that we saw the bomb threat on the tv news, put it together ourselves that they had jumped to conclusions, and drove out there ourselves and talked to the police on the scene, that’s why i saw them using the parabolic mic and all that.

the cops agreed to let one of us go out past their barricade and open the trunk of the car to prove it was not a bomb.

they may have been talking to the family who owned the house as well, i don’t know that part. i do know our friend who lived at that house was mad as hell and his dad made him scrub the oil stains our lovely car left off their driveway

he didnt build poo poo, he took an off the shelf commercial clock and ripped it out of its case so it looked like scary wires. There was a lot of racism and xenophobia in the response to his actions, i won't disagree, but he did a really loving stupid thing.

he did a stupid thing, yes. but he was fourteen or something. kids do stupid poo poo without understanding the ramifications of their actions. you can't judge them or respond to them as if they were doing the thing as a grown adult of sound mind. that's what happened to tamir rice.

a similar situation which i think had a perfectly fair response was when star simpson, then an MIT student, was detained at the airport for wearing what she characterized as "a shirt with a light-up name tag." i have seen a picture of the device in question and it was a bare PCB with loose wiring and a battery pack literally taped to her chest, and she tried to wear it through the security checkpoint. that's comparably dumb to making the briefcase clock bomb thing and taking it to school, but she was old enough to know better.

the clock kid getting hauled out of school in handcuffs for that was dumb as poo poo and the school officials and police involved deserve to be publicly flogged for their stupidity, but everything in the aftermath kept getting weirder and weirder

before all of the facts were even out you had every twitter nerd who was stuffed into a locker in high school calling him a persecuted genius, obama inviting him to the white house with his clock*, companies hurling thousands of dollars of free swag at him, invites to all kinds of events, his dad leveraging his son's global notoriety to get a foothold in qatar politics and so on. all for a clock he "made" by putting the guts of the clock next to his bed in a pencil case

iirc, people dug into the cop's social media and, unsurprisingly, he was a huge racist white supremacist. the "beer summit" was indeed dumb as poo poo as clearly neither of them wanted anything to do with each other and the meeting basically got racist cop dipshit off the hook

Health concerns have also been taken into consideration, particularly in in light of the pandemic, and the team stress that "world class medical care" will be available onboard, while pointing out that those on board will likely be kept "away from pandemics and other global risks."

the "beer summit" was attempted damage control after he said the cop was stupid, which to his credit is correct. you have to remember it was five months into the term and so his too-small stimulus and larry summers centrism hadn't caught up to him yet

as a direct result of his disrespecting a cop his approval rating among whites dropped 20 points
