The right-wing of anything scares the shit out of me these days...it's amazing how far the right-wing has drifted outside reality and not only can't see it, but believes that they are mainstream America. They honestly believe that a series of conspiracies is the reason their viewpoints aren't being carried out...

I honestly can't fault people in the US for their bat-shit crazy conspiracy theories.

I mean, it's not like the world is being watched through our internet connections, and every word we say is being recorded through our phones' microphones, and every camera on every phone is now used to spy on everyone-- oh wait. Some guy named Snowden found proof that this was happening. Snap.

Seriously, when shit like that starts to come to light, I don't know how any sane person wouldn't have severe doubts about their governments, and start paying more attention to other conspiracy theories.

I don't believe the Republicans would be any better, though.

But to get back on topic, if that is indeed what his clock looked like, and what the file name was (though I have my doubts), then it was an incredibly stupid joke to play, but the fact remains that no other student would have been treated the same way for what was essentially typical teenager stupidity.

I heard that he showed it to other teachers first (who told him not to do that again) and that the third teacher called the cops not because he was scared it was a bomb, but because he thought the kid was hoaxing.

Also he apparently just gutted a RadioShack clock and stuck it in a case.

I don't know whether all that's true. I wasn't there. It does smell like Astroturfed outrage to me, though.
