in fact told Mark Cuban
I thought that it was a little strange that Mark Cuban has a one on one dialogue with this kid?

WTF, why is Cuban calling 14 yr olds up to have a 'frank discussion about what happened??'

seriously?

a kid brings something in that looks like it could be a bomb...they should call the police/bomb squad.
and they did.  Gold star for administrators IMO

Not 100% sure why the kid was actually arrested, I think he wouldn't talk and explain what it was so they arrested him

But the 'system' did work, people freaked and someone was arrested, then quickly after they realized the error in their assumption and released him.
He missed a day of school, but wasn't lynched by an angry mob or suspended from school for a year

I still think that arresting someone when something suspicious is happening that could be a bomb...is OK

It's sad that this is a sharp kid just trying to make a cool project, but it's not criminal (or a hero)
 in the end, this kids future prospects have just skyrocketed, so he really wasn't harmed
the right did kinda loose it's head when Obama invited him to the WH tho


I'm not sure how we are going to deal with the PC side where we don't want to offend anyone and the reality of the current method of using bombs to address political issues


I know it's something I personally am really struggling on how to deal with

Well, he's a technology billionaire from the same metropolitan area. I guess he took an interest in a kid after hearing the story and his interest in "making" things.

Trump boycotts Fox News over campaign coverage

although they say he's really a democrat, so maybe this isn't ironic

but how else do you reach Republican voters?

I predict the first Bond movie with him will be quite good, a real surprise, but he'll survive and live through it even though storywise there was not much left for his character. The second movie will be a whirling dervish that tonally craps on everything good about the first one and will defy all logic. The third one will involve no real bad guy and be obsessed with his relationship to a Bond girl we don't care about at all and will end with him dying about 2 movies too late. Then they'll spin off the Bond girl to her own franchise which will be surprisingly not terrible.
