Well, he was laughed out of Federal Court again on May 18th when he tried to sue the city of Irving, Texas and the school district for embarrassing their son by not recognizing his clock-building skills. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/dfw.cbslocal.com\/2017\/05\/19\/clock-boy-lawsuit-dismissed\/\">DFW ABC local news<\/a>, a federal judge dismissed the lawsuit;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Mohamed\u2019s attorney, Susan Hutchison, said Mayor Beth Van Duyne in her capacity as a public official was afforded immunity in the matter.<\/p>\n<p>The original suit claimed Van Duyne and others were libelous in their statements about Ahmed Mohamed after he brought the clock to school in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>While many people on social media were quick to show support for Mohamed, the high school freshman and his family also received several violent threats. That forced the family to move overseas so that the teen could study in Qatar. \u201cI get a lot of hate,\u201d Mohamed stated in August. \u201cI got a lot of support in the beginning, but it\u2019s the hate that sticks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to court records, the family has until June 1st to file an amended complaint. The case was dismissed on May 18.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m betting that they will refile on June 1st because that&#8217;s how Mohammed Mohammed plans to feed his family, on sympathy and the kindness of folks who think that they can tell the difference between a bomb and clock &#8211; until that one time&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You probably remember Ahmed Mohammed known as &#8220;Clock Boy&#8221; around these parts, and you probably remember &hellip; <a title=\"Clockboy&#8217;s latest case dismissed\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=72169\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Clockboy&#8217;s latest case dismissed<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":61944,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-72169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-legal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=72169"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72169\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/61944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=72169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=72169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=72169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
