When you were 14, what were you doing? Were you that curious about the internal workings of a digital alarm clock that you took the time to disassemble it, look through it, look at the various components, then put them into another casing where you can clearly see each and every piece from the circuit board, the logic gates, the backup batteries, and the power cord? Since you can't comprehend what I typed up in the first place -- when other people obviously could -- I'm going to guess no.
You're completely not comprehending what I'm typing out, instead you have this premade narrative in your head that "this little kid isn't anything special, and it's the PC police, and he made it look like a bomb on purpose, and they're trying to push their Muslim agenda, and, and... and... and...." Look, that's not what I'm getting at here, okay? It's a known fact: Get them while they're young. When they're young, they're impressionable. I never said he was innovative I said what he did shows potential innovation. He's taking something out of its current casing, and putting it into a new one. While it may not seem like a lot, let me break it down to you in a way that you'll understand since this is RUI.
Plants live in dirt. Plants need water to survive. Too much water, and a plant dies. I live in an arid region, where the dirt does not hold much moisture. How can I make the plant survive? Maybe if I put it into a plastic container... and then fill the container with water... and then add oxygen to the water by pumping air into it... and holy shit now I'm doing hydro! What is this called? Innovation. What he did potentially can lead to it. Get it yet? Tell me if you don't, because I can continue to provide examples.
That's innovation. Rather than trying to stifle it, we want to encourage it. That's why slapping the cuffs on this kid, arresting him, and our "Zero tolerance" policies are so dumb. Like the kid who chewed a poptart into a gun shape and pretended to shoot with it then got a suspension. Who knows, maybe he could've made the newest NRA snack crave gun tarts.
