Police Investigate Offensive Wi-Fi Network Name

Posted by Soulskill on from the sounds-like-a-rough-neighborhood dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Police in Teaneck, New Jersey, with apparently too much time on their hands, are investigating an offensive wireless network name. Although the police didn't reveal the name, the New York Daily News reports that it was anti-Semitic and racist in nature. The incident is being investigated as a possible 'bias crime.' It's definitely not what proper people do, but a 'bias crime?'"

    As it stands, this type of thing is clearly indicates immature people who crave attention

    Agreed. Anyone who would report someone to the police for the content of their SSID string is an immature attention whore.

    Well it is true that the rich are the cause of the worlds problems.

    I'll hate a rich black as much as a rich white. I dont give a fuck. The rich should be shot in the face.

    Republicans, conservatives and Christians ARE (some of) the people who disrespect the constitution.

    Republicans, conservatives and Christians are also the most hateful, bigoted, spiteful people around. There is ample reason to hate them because of the hate they spew at everything and everyone who is not them. The hate they get is a tiny fraction of what they give out. Mostly because their enemies have morality and believe that hate is generally a bad thing.
