As soon as I saw the invite, I knew it would go south.

He lied. He's a fraud. It that what you mean by initiative>

Any idiot can see this.

If you can't, try nibbling a pop tart into the shape of a 'gun' and see how fast you get arrested and expelled from school.

Isn't some sort of intention to deceive part of a hoax? Because as far as the articles go, every time he was asked, he said it was a clock. Which it was. The idiots in the local police department had to come up with "lack of a broader explanation" - whatever that means - to justify their overreaction.
