Fair enough, the world is already an awful place then, but my point is we shouldn't be doing this.

Can't wait to see what the the next outrage jackpot will bring.
Let's see:
1) Make a hoax bomb - Not what happened. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't a hoax bomb have to (1) actually look like a bomb, and (2) come with some sort of threat that it's a bomb. Even if the clock did look like a bomb, when the student says "it's a clock", it's not a hoax bomb, because there's no "hoax"; the student is telling you what it is.
2) Lie about your ability - No evidence that he did this either. Again, this is a 14 year old kid we're talking about here. He said he made a clock, which he did. Doesn't matter that he took an existing clock, pulled it apart, and reassembled it in a new case; he still made something, and that something was a clock.
3) Disobey school authority - Again, no real evidence he did this either. Even so, disobeying school authority is not grounds for what the school and the police then did to him. That's the main reason he's going to the White House...because he's been mistreated.
4) Defy law enforcement - No evidence he did this either. The guy was arrested, but I don't see anything about him resisting arrest. He might not have answered the police's questions satisfactorily, but guess what? That's his right! He has a right to remain silent if he wants to. He also had a right to call his parents, but the police didn't allow that, so who's really in the wrong when it comes to defying the law here?
