Last month, “Clock Boy” Ahmed Mohamed suffered a humiliating defeat when a district judge dismissed his family’s defamation suits against several news stations and prominent pundits, including author and talk show host Glenn Beck.
Then, on Thursday, the little liar suffered an even more crushing defeat, courtesy of the 162nd District Court of Texas, which dismissed another complaint that his family had filed — this one against The Daily Wire founder and conservative commentator Ben Shapiro.
Here’s the kicker: The court also ordered that “Clock Boy” pay the defendant’s attorney fees. That’s what you get for trying to mess with another man’s First Amendment rights.

“This is an excellent day for free speech,” Shapiro said after the ruling, according to The Daily Wire. “Using law as warfare is perhaps the most disgusting tactic of politically correct activists across the country, and we couldn’t be more excited to stand up against such frivolous use of our court system.”
As noted by Townhall, Mohamed’s family filed the suit in October 2015 after Shapiro questioned the boy’s story and motives while speaking on Fox News.
“The story didn’t hold water from the beginning,” he said then, referring to Mohamed’s claim that so-called Islamophobia was the reason he had been detained by authorities for bringing a clock that looked like a bomb to school. “Within the first 48 hours it was clear that this was a bit of a set-up and it was clear that the story didn’t hold together.”

You can hear his comments here:
Apparently, “Clock Boy” was offended that Shapiro had the guts to expose his lies. Tough luck, kid.
In a statement, Shapiro’s attorneys called the decision an important victory for American freedom.
“Ben never once wavered, never even considered giving in, and we are grateful that the court has unequivocally reaffirmed his and every American’s right to speak freely,” attorney Kurt Schlichter said.
