In the same sense that numerous things "look like" a bomb. Hell, as previously noted, people thought a lunchbox "looked like" a bomb to the point that they actually reacted as though it was a bomb. Should we arrest every student with a lunchbox?

As evidenced by its zero-for-five record in making people think it was a bomb. You and I apparently own different dictionaries when looking up the word "reasonable". You know what would be great evidence that someone would reasonably mistake this for a bomb? Someone mistaking it for a bomb.

So he was arrested for something that's not a crime? And you have no problem with that. Well, that's interesting.

Did anyone get arrested when this kid got some new toys? Was anyone cuffed? Printed? Pressed to give a false confession?

No? Well, then... no. Not "as opposed to" because the two reactions are leagues apart and trying to compare them to justify the reaction of the school and police is just pathetic.

Backfired? Oh, you must think I'm really upset that you keep driving to the well of Fallacy of Appeal to Popularity and drawing out big buckets of "Everyone agrees with ME!!!" Shit, man, I'm sorry. I never took the time to say that I was ignoring your fallacious arguments. That one's on me.

No, it still looks like a clock. Also, I linked to a picture of a kit clock to show that it actually looks more "bomb like" (scary wires!) and has the added benefit of being a kit so people like you stop flipping out over how non-sciencey his clock was. Try and keep up.

Maybe I can't see what the hell I'm doing.

The pattern is edited videos being released against organizations this guy doesn't like. There is no pattern about wrongdoing.

There was a silica gel packet that some enterprising people were trying to pass off as the "fake explosive".

Personally, I think he should have gone for a packet of hot dogs. Then it could have been a proper lunchbox bomb.

Seriously. This is the most half-assed hoax bomb ever. He should have just brought a bowling ball with a rope stuffed in the hole.

I know what a bomb looks like. I've extensively studied Tom & Jerry, Bugs Bunny and that one Top Cat where Benny joins an Islamic terror cell.

Have the conspiracy theorists explained away how the same school evacuated everyone in 2011 over a birthday present yet didn't react at all to this totally looks like a bomb to 99% of everyone in the multiverse?

Speaking of schools, according to The American Center for Law and Justice in Nashville, TN, teaching kids other religions is indoctrination and against their freedom of religion.

Schools already skim over some of the details like how Christmas was illegal in parts of the colonies for a while in the 1600s, so it probably won't be long until they skip anything negative like the witch hunts and start pretending the founding fathers first order of business was finding a tree to decorate and sing songs of merriment

Canada has founding fathers? I thought you guys were just a bunch of Frenchmen and rejected Vikings who got traded off to the King of England because no one actually needs more snow and moose.

That's got to suck when we change it every few years. Right now we're slowly erasing the 1960s.

I don't know if it was posted already, but apparently the kid's dad ran for President of Sudan. Even if he didn't win he knows how to work political and media influence in his favor.
