Teen Allegedly Broke Into a Couple's Home To Ask For Their WiFi Password, Police Say (washingtonpost.com)

A 17-year-old has been accused of breaking into a couple's home in Northern California and asking for their WiFi password, hours after he had asked nearby neighbors for theirs, authorities said. From a report: Police in Palo Alto said the teen, whose name has not been released, went to a home in Silicon Valley late Saturday and asked to use the residents' WiFi network "because he was out of data," before stealing their bicycle. Then just after midnight Sunday, police said, he broke into a nearby home, woke up a sleeping couple and asked them for their password. The male resident "pushed him down the hallway and out the front door of the house before calling police," police said in a statement. Palo Alto Police Sgt. Dan Pojanamat told The Washington Post on Friday that it's unclear whether the juvenile suspect was really seeking WiFi access or whether it was simply an excuse, saying that "the real issue is the fact that he entered a house that was occupied."

You have that backwards asshole

Stupid enough to get into an argument over a handicapped parking spot, then kill the person trying to get you to stop

The person who was killed was the poor bastard who had stopped with his family IN the handicapped spot. It was a Circle A regular who was pissed someone was using the handicap spot without using a tag and decided that warranted slaughtering a father in front of his kids, just because he was pushed to the ground while yelling at them.

No way was that a stand your ground situation. That was murder.
