'Clock Kid' Ahmed Mohamed wants $15 million, written apologies

I think that you should give up your career as an internet lawyer if you think that he can be punished for him saying that he brought in an invention. There is no law against him saying he invented something as that is what patents are for.

Well if you think that by choosing to leave because they received death threats after their address was published, then yes, they chose to leave

 

What do you mean, no damages? He lost his fate in the humanity. Does not it worth all the gifts, scholarships, apologies and $15mln?

 

He already left town.

Moved to Qatar.

That was when the family decided how traumatized they were.


From the article posted in the first thread about this....

“But now they are settled in Qatar, they have realized they are tremendously traumatized.”


Uh huh...

 

What's a little shame comparing with the windfall they're getting?

 

Oh look mom circle jerk reactionary politics at work with this kid, who is Muslim. The school will settle out of court anyway he won't get 15 million but some money at least for his trouble after all they were in the wrong. What is it with this kid that reactionaries go nuts over is it because he had the last name of Ahmed? Just saying! His civil rights and Liberties as an American were violated I too would be pissed if I were the kid parents. They also received death threats once their number was released. They were forced to relocate because some idiots though it would be a smart idea to release their home address and phone number online.

 

It is precisely because his name is Ahmed he's getting fame, glory, gifts, scholarships, meeting all these cool people including some notorious African dictators... Oh, and some cash, too. In short, he's living the American Dream.

 

So it's was not because his rights were violated because of his last name? Let me guess his rights aren't given to him since he doesn't have the right religion.

 

That's his first name.

If you can't get someone's name straight, maybe you're the one with the problematic Islamaphobia.


(teasing)

 

No, its not true at all.

It was not a class assignment and there were no other students removing the plastic housing of store bought clocks and putting the guts into other boxes.

Ever wonder why fake-wannabe-not-invented-clock-boy's radical Muslims parents were so aggressive in using lawyers to suppress the schools statement?

 

Naw I just dont go out of my way to read about this kid and really his first name is also a common last name in the Middle East, so I was confused it doesn't mean, I am scared of Muslims.

Yes it was true.

 

His rights weren't violated.

Despite what the brain damaged SJWs lawyers go around telling everybody, being Muslims doesn't give you any special rights nor does it change the extent of rights that apply to us all.

None of his rights were not violated, not one of them.

You people just think they were because hes a Muslim.

By the way, that's practically the definition of racism.

Thinking one person is better than another based on such and such characteristics.

 

I meant "damage to him", and was being sarcastic.
The gifts and scholarships may be of no consequence to him [I've received many gifts that I didn't want]. Apologies are better. $15m would be nice, but I would hate to see him get that of my tax $$.

 

No it wasn't.

No it wasn't an assignment. That's just misinformation for the sake of making things worse than they are.

 

If it was a class assignment we would have seen pictures of ALL THE OTHER disassembled clocks in suitcases by now and a class picture of them all standing in front of the class with their projects. We would have seen the assignment guidelines in an email or in print. Actually, we wouldn't have seen any pictures because this would NOT have been news at all and no one would have been accused of a damn thing, because kids get engineering assignments all the time all over the country and we don't hear about them.

Who makes up this slanderous CRAP???

Anyone supporting this kid and his family are exactly whats wrong with this country and its a growing trend. Find something you can do to incite bigotry and then sue the govt agency, for a nice payday, so you can retire. &*$#(#@ scumbags!!!! Its happening against cops by purposely inciting them to rage and recording it in order to sue. Its happening here now.

 

Careful who you believe... the guy who stated that constantly posts misinformation for the sake of arguing.

Mohamed recently made an electronic clock at home, not as part of a required assignment, but because that’s what he wanted to do with his weekend.

 

Alwayssa.

 

Game..Set... Match...

 

It was no more true than the liberal delusion that his "rights" were somehow infringed.

Liberals cant just roam around saying things are whatever they please them to be and that anybody who disagrees is a racist.

 

Where have you been the last 7 years.
Of course they can.

 

I think you failed to read what I said... I never said he will be "punished" for him saying he invented it... I'm saying he has suffered no damages as he did not invent this device... he simply disassembled another device, and passed it off as his own... he can't be "made whole" because he never actually invented the device he passed off as his own invention, he has no patent, only the original clock maker has that patent, assuming they even got one... there however is a law against him taking credit for an invention he did not create, its called a patent and its fraudulent to violate that persons patent and pass off their work as his own... in which case if this case does award him "damages" then he would be open to a lawsuit from the clock he disassembled for using their patented technology, once again assuming they even got a patent...

but to summarize, he can't be given "damages" if he wasn't actually harmed in this... since he passed off someone elses work as his own, any damages occurring after that, are nullified since its not his work... essentially, you can't steal money from a store, then sue someone who steals it from you... it wasn't yours to begin with...

and on top of that, he received benefits as a result of his fraud... his entire family has been flown to live in Qatar to attend an elite private school for the gifted... I can only imagine how shocked they will be when they find out he's not that gifted, and all he did was pull the guts out of a digital clock...

in their lawsuit they claim Qatar is not Texas and they want to come home but can't... yet nothing is stopping them... the city and/or school are not preventing him from attending, they chose to accept this other offer and leave the country, thats not something you can award damages for if they willfully chose to pursue this other opportunity... there are SO many ways to argue against their lawsuit... but sadly the city and school will settle out of court for a nominal sum since they will waste money defending it and won't stand up for whats right because its a simple cost/benefit analysis... either way they'll lose money so they choose to pay them off to lose less... it sucks...

 

but those damages only occurred after THEY went to the media... THEY chose to make it a story... THEY also got rewarded at the same time... he essentially became a celebrity once they made the willful decision to become a public figure... so if anything his lawsuit should be against his parents for willfully making those decisions for him without the hindsight available of the blowback received once he chose to become a public figure in order to "punish" the school and police...

plus you can only sue for damages when its you who was damaged... I contend he was not damaged, because he did not make the device he passed off as his own... he disassembled a clock and passed it off as his invention... if anything the clock maker was damaged because he violated the end user agreement of that device and used it in a way the manufacturer did not allow... its the old, a criminal can't sue another criminal, if the money he stole, was stolen from him... you can't take that to court... and since he essentially stole the invention and patented most likely technology of this company, he can't be made whole because he was never the ones harmed... his invention was a fraud and you can't be awarded damages when you are performing criminal acts, such as fraudulent passing off of this device as his own...

I think they could easily argue and pull it off... but yeah we both know they will do a cost analysis and decide the amount of money to defend whats right, will cost more than just paying him off and making it go away... the standard 5 figure check or maybe low 6 figures depending how spineless the school and city are... but I find it amazing the verbiage they used in the notice of lawsuit, the damages they claim were caused, were a direct result of their decisions to go to the media or move to Qatar...

 

But that "We had to leave the country" BS will go a long way in this suit.. and with the lefty media.

 

sadly all you can depend on is a judge to make the correct judgement... and sadly all we've learned the last decade is they are becoming more and more biased...

I wish judges would get challenged in elections, its like the unwritten rule you never challenge a sitting judge... and any lawyer who does gets held to an extreme standard for every case moving forward... its one of the biggest corruptions going on in america today... judges abusing their power on anyone who dares challenge them... america...

 

What is the big deal? USa is the most litigious country in the world. It's only normal to sue for outrageous amounts of money for no reason.

 

Did THEY go to the media? I thought the first part of this was when someone took a photo of him being arrested at school. Might be wrong.
I think the media chose to make it a story. They know (*)(*)(*)(*) will sell, so they lap it up, and reward is different to different people. I would hate being a "celebrity".

I'm certainly on the side of he shouldn't receive anything, I'm just thinking about the avenue a lawyer would pursue.
