It was on the news his sister received a suspension for telling another student she wanted to blow up the school. This family is coo coo
Isn't it ODD that twice the police have not taking these things seriously? If anyone around here told another student they wanted to blow up the school, they'd be questioned by the police AT LEAST. So....where is the police report on the sister? Or is this another "truthyism" by the Right to smear the family of the victim?
That is odd, innit? I can't remember a thread where so many claims were made of something said or something done that, when challenged for a source, just melt like buttah.
I came, I saw, I Googled. I found it on JihadWatch (already rolling eyes) which got it from a story on the Daily Beast from a reporter quoting a family interview. Two or three other sites only referred back to the Beast page (one referred back to JihadWatch, making it thirdhand), so this is the one and
only source.
From that
DB page, this is Ahmed's older sister Eyman talking:
>> “I got suspended from school for three days from this stupid same district, from this girl saying I wanted to blow up the school, something I had nothing to do with.” <<
There it is -- hearsay, from a very possibly specious accusation with no apparent basis in fact, same as the armchair wags here who don't know a Sufi from a Wahhabi from their own ass.
Continuing the quote:
>> Eyman talks with the slightest lisp, almost imperceptible, but it becomes stronger as she gets emotional.
“I got suspended and I didn’t do anything about it and so when I heard about Ahmed, I was so mad because it happened to me and I didn’t get to stand up, so I’m making sure he’s standing up because it’s not right. So I’m not jealous, I’m kinda like—it’s like he’s standing for me.”
Eyman said her suspension was in her first year of middle school, “my first year of attempting middle school in America. I knew English, but the culture was different, the people were different.”
This part of Texas is a
hotbed of Islamophobia. Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne in March claimed Muslim clergy were “bypassing American courts” by offering to mediate disputes between worshippers according to Islamic law. Residents of Farmersville last month
fought against creation of a Muslim cemetery in their town. Garland was the site of a
“draw Muhammad” contest hosted by anti-Islam activist Pamela Geller that was subsequently attacked by two gunmen inspired by ISIS. <<
So it appears to have little more integrity than a cop busting in the door, dropping a bag of coke on the floor, picking it up and going "oh, look what I found". Make up an accusation based on nothing, then quote the accusee citing the accusation and go "look what she did!"
Ya can't put anything past this lot.
