The Secret Service and the National Park police barricaded the park for hours, stating that the gathering created a traffic issue.<br /><br />The event was called CureFest for Childhood Cancer and was attended by hundreds who wanted to raise awareness about cancer research.<br /><br />Natasha Gould, an 11-year-old from Canada who has started a website for children like herself who struggle with cancer, said that the police and government agents acted like they didn’t care about the children.<br /><br />“We ended up waiting at the gates for two hours, and they never let us in. And to be clear, the entire crowd was half kids. I cried last night in my hotel room because it was my first CureFest, and I couldn’t believe people were acting like they don’t care about children,” Natasha said.Jus Sayinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-55924932607346734892015-09-22T08:49:51.047-05:002015-09-22T08:49:51.047-05:00Donnie, you make a lot of good points.....Why this...Donnie, you make a lot of good points.....Why this boy would be invited to the WH is beyond most of us....I call it the ROOT BEER SUMMIT!<br /><br />And as some of us discussed above, if a White Protestant kid had done the same, I'm thinking he'd not have been invited.<br /><br />The police overreacted in some ways, in my opinion, but that teacher sure didn't...the FBI's "If you see something , SAY something" rule is what we should all live by...now teachers might be afraid to err on the side of safety lest they get this publicity.

The media may si...So this raises a sticky question. The media may simply accept out of hand the notion that Ahmed "invented a clock," but if he really didn't, then who put this together and what was the point of doing so? It's possible, of course, that Ahmed threw this together, took it to school to show his teacher and misused the term "invented" in the course of explaining what he did.<br /><br />So why did he do it? Let’s face it, Ahmed didn't build a clock. He simply took one out of its casing. Did he deliberately want to be suspected of making a bomb? Did he want to be arrested, to be seen as a victim of "Islamophobia"? <br /><br />The theory is, though, is that someone else put it together and its purpose was to inspire the very reaction it got - presumably to provoke an incident that would forward the narrative that America is full of Islamophobic bigots - a storyline you can advance very easily when your supposed victim is an innocent 14-year-old. It didn't take long for the White House to get on board, or for the entire Internet to embrace the dopey #IStandWithAhmed hashtag.<br />So the real DUMBO here is OBAMA!! The cops are not to blame for anything in this case-----they acted as appropriately as they had to act The principal of the school acted appropriately as well. It was only Obama who really jumped to conclusions as he usually does. Didn’t he jump to conclusions in the Trayvon martin case? And didn’t Obama jump to conclusions when he criticized the Police in Henry Louis Gates Case, when he called the Cops “Stupid”?<br /><br />Let's be honest here, shall we? It looks like a bomb. Any teacher who looked at it and didn't get concerned would have been derelict in his or her duty. A mischief maker, knowing full well that the contraption looked like a bomb, could easily envision an overreaction that could be used to score propaganda points.<br /><br />He simply removed a clock from it's casing and arranged it in a certain way in the case. Why would he be proud of something he didn't do? He didn't connect a single wire or attach anything new. It was simply a transfer of the clock parts from the original casing to a small briefcase-shaped pencil case. No invention. No creativity. Nothing.<br /><br />Why does the media and Obama act like the kid actually put a clock together when, according to this engineer, everything is exactly as it was when it came from the factory, other than the outter case being removed? I still think his parents might have encouraged this and I believe it's just a way to use a willing press to further divide people by accusing the country of being Islamophobic. The only 'creation' here is on part of the Obama admonition and CAIR, who have invented yet another problem that they will address. It further divides people and Muslims will make more demands because they want this country to change for them. CAIR is a questionable organization at best and I find it scary that they have so much influence over the current regime in Washington. Obama jumps in some cases pretty fast, like this one, while other things go without comment until he supposedly sees it on the news like the rest of us.The Surfer Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458077957619860730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-934668741019283192015-09-22T04:57:35.180-05:002015-09-22T04:57:35.180-05:00More dupes:
