    Johnny Cash had a song about this kid...

    "A boy named Sue..."

    "Well daddy left Sudan when he was three
    and he didn't leave much for Ma and me
    Except this old Koran and a broken old clock...
    Now I don't blame him cause he ran and hid
    but the meanest thing he ever did
    was told me not to work and to make
    make my money via lawsuits...

    "Well he must have thought it was quite a joke
    and it got a lot of laughs from a lot of folks
    'Cause I never have to work my whole life through
    A hard worker would giggle and I'd get red
    Some gal would laugh and I'd quote the Koran
    I tell you life ain't easy for a boy who wants to sue!

    Well I grew up quick but I never got mean
    My glasses big and my hands all clean
    I'd roam from school to school to hide my shame
    But I made a vow to the crescent moon and star
    That I'd search the Mosques and the old strip bars
    And kill that man that told me I'd never have a job..

    Well it was Dallas Texas during school
    I'd just got to class and my nerves were cool
    So I thought I'd freak the teacher out and have myself a row
    When I looked out the window and there I saw
    Chasing an ambulance was my own sweet pa..

    I knew that shyster was my con man pa
    from a wore out picture I got from ma
    I recognized the scar on his cheek
    His polyester suit and cheap cologne
    He was big and bent, broke and old,
    I looked at him and my blood run cold and I said
    "I don't like to work!!!! I like to Sue!!!!!
    It's your boy, Ahmed!!!How do you do???"

    Well I went up fast, lean and hard, told him we
    would make a mint if we played the race card.
    So Sis snapped a pic and I looked sad,
    right at the camera like you always said
    Got tweets from the Prez, MIT, and Bill Gates..

    He just stood there looking at me and I saw him smile..

    "Son, This world is rough and if you ain't going to work
    you got be tough,
    There's not much to it, just play on guilt
    Find a fear and exploit it to the hilt,
    You make a fake bomb then act like Spock,
    tell them all, "It's only a clock!" and then laugh your
    way to MIT and the bank..."

    In a state of acute Pork-i-docis
    From what I remember of the coverage, it wouldn't surprise me if he is successful. He wasn't a public figure at the time. I don't recall the particulars, but I do remember thinking that some of what was being said was stupidly unsupported to the point of being potentially actionable.

    During the lengthy hearing, Judge Moore pressed Mohamed’s lawyer, Fort Worth attorney Susan Hutchison, to provide any facts that would suggest that Hanson and the other defendants had said anything false or defamatory about Mohamed or his son during the television broadcasts. After spending a painfully embarrassing 15 minutes flipping through reams of paper, Mohamed’s lawyer was unable to provide any such evidence.

    That would have me either feeling uncomfortable for the PA or laughing at him...

    I find it abhorrent that any attorney would FILE a defamation lawsuit without evidence of what EACH AND EVERY DEFENDANT said that was false or defamatory, let alone not having that information at your fingertips when the hearing is held.

    Sanctions and fees.

    Wait. What just happened?

    The judge dismissed the case.

    Hold on. Does that mean we won't get millions? You said there'd be millions.

    Just...shut up.

    Can we sue based on horrible nicknames bestowed? Clock boy... Lamest super hero sidekick ever.

    Well, it's kinda convenient. Short. To the point. He's a boy. And his fame is about a "clock". That sorta looked like a bomb on purpose. Likely to get money. From lawsuits. Like this one.
