 You're welcome back to the Breakfast and Plot Stevie Africa. It's now time for Today in History and on this day in history, the 14th of September 2015, what happened was that a Muslim teenager was arrested and that's for carrying a clock that actually looked like a bomb. I mean, according to the teachers, they say that this looked like a bomb and that's why he arrested him in that school. So his name actually is Ahmed Mohamed. He was a freshman at the time. He was questioned by the police. He was detained. He was led in handcuffs through a juvenile detention center and he was suspended from school for three days for what authorities called a hooks bomb. But he was actually a homemade clock. I mean, it was a clock that he assembled, put together by himself and Mohamed's arrest actually set up a storm on social media. Many saw this as an example of racial profiling as islamophobia and he became known as the clock boy. The hashtag known as I stand with Mohamed appeared on social media. Mohamed's family filed a lawsuit against the school district, but of course that was thrown out and that teenager did not return to school and his family returned to Qatar soon after the arrest. And that's what really happened today in history. This young man arrested, 14 years old young man. He was a Sudanese American high school goer. I understand the racial discrimination perspective here and why the hashtag also came up and why that was even considered. But you also can't blame the American criminal justice system and security system because of the PTSD that has risen from 2001. It's unfair, no doubt, but at the same time, there's always going to be little pockets here and there of things like that. I listened to a podcast yesterday of the racial discrimination that happened in the years, 2015 is even far from 2001 to about 2005, 2006 there was huge racial discrimination in the United States against Arabs who were Americans who had no terrorist links or anything. But as long as you were Arab, there was a lot of that that was going on. Pretty much the same thing that started happening after Americans sometimes just disappoint you. But pretty much the same thing happened after COVID-19 started. There was some attacks on Asians in the United States for a while. Mostly some people would say because of from President Donald Trump's narrative and his speeches and some of all of that. But it's both ways. Yes, it could be racial profiling. At the same time, there's certain things that just kind of like red flags. You don't just go carrying a clock up and down, seeing the times that we currently are living in. You don't just go carrying a clock? Yeah, I mean... You made a clock and took it to school. There's nothing wrong with that. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. But when you... Because of the little... They should have done their due diligence and investigated. You fought subjecting him to such inhumane treatment. So that's where they got it wrong. So if you look at a clock and you ask him what that is and it says, well, just a clock I made at home, that's where it should have ended. You probably, you know, extrude the clock or put it through your scanner and see there's nothing. You let him go on his way. The fact that he had to be suspended from school for three days before the fact that he had to be handcuffed, that was completely unnecessary. And that's where it is. You can point out that there definitely is racial profiling, especially in 2015. This is 14 years after 9-11. So I don't know, I can't defend any of them in this way. I'm also guessing that if it was a white kid who brought that clock, nobody would have raised any eyebrows. I mean, that was also part of the conversations that came up. Sadly. That the reaction to white kid inventors were very different. Of course, they're praise-celebrated. They invite them on big TV shows to talk about the invention. But it's a white kid here and it's a black kid, a Muslim kid. It seems to be a different narrative. It's pretty sad. You know, I think from 9-11, the events from 9-11 have been really, really sad. You know, 2,977 lives were lost on September 11, 2001. Close to 1.5 million lives are lost in the war in Afghanistan and in Iraq. 1.5 million people that were unnecessarily terrorist. Anyway, let's still in the United States. We're moving back now to 1901 to talk about the 25th president of the United States. His name is President William McKinley. He died on this day after being shot a couple of days earlier by an anarchist. And this event eventually led to a huge decision over who really should protect the United States president. His deputy then, Theodore Roosevelt, took over from him. And there were some court cases that were a lot of debates over whether the secret service should continue, because President McKinley at that time wasn't necessarily moving around with any protection. He loved to walk around the streets and meet people and have handshakes here and there. But after his death or his assassination by an anarchist, there then were huge debates over who should protect the United States president. They argued either between the secret service or the United States army. But eventually the courts gave a ruling that it should be the secret service. He died on the 14th of September of gangrene which were caused by the wounds because one of the bullets couldn't be taken out of him. He was shot twice in the stomach and one of the bullets was left inside him by the doctors. They couldn't find it because, of course, his 1901 they weren't necessarily x-rays back then. So that's what eventually led to his death. The person who shot him, I can pronounce his name, I think is Cos Goz had lost his job during the economic panic of 1893 and eventually turned to an anarchist and of course had huge issues with leadership in the United States and across the world and supported prior assassinations of previous American presidents and took it upon himself to assassinate William McKinley. He had tried to meet with him twice or tried to assassinate him twice in the past but didn't get close enough until this particular event. So yeah, McKinley died on this day. He was shot a couple of days earlier and Theodore Roosevelt eventually took over as United States president. Sad one. He actually shot on the 6th of September 1901 and sadly died on September the 14th. Too bad what happened in this day in history. Yeah, all right 1901 and 2015 on both in the United States. Now let's take a short break. When we come back, we're moving to our first major discussion for today. Our off-the-price guest has already started that conversation and that is the jailbreak in Kogi State. What exactly happened who you know is currently at risk and what is the Kogi State government and the Ministry of Interior needing to do to ensure that those prisoners are found and brought back to prison. We'll be back.
