Racist Wi-Fi names are considered a hate crime.

[amdhunter]

LOL

I guess I better change my Wi-Fi name soon. It could probably be considered racist or something.

People are retarded.

“I was shocked, hurt. I felt harassed."

That's how I feel every time you post OP.

I hope that the person responsible for this is caught,” the woman who reported the signal said.

“This should not be tolerated in this town. They should see jail time for it," the mom of two said.

lol wtf? jail time for naming your WIFI something frowned upon?

This is really stupid. By the same logic if your ssid was named "Apple", would you be voilating a copyright law?

What my license plate read "Bombs4U' , would you be considered a terrorist?

What if i had a bumper sticker that read "Keep honking, i'm reloading", would the cops consider you armed and dangerous ?

One would think the cops would have better things to do. Obviously not.

I love these kind of news, just changed my WiFi to a racist and offensive phrase.

Don't think they can find me easily, there are dozens of WiFi networks around me. Bring it on, police nerds!

Perhaps your IP address will help.

Rofl. I wanna find something offensive to change my hotspot to.

Even though it's "not a big deal" it's empowering racists. I know most of you bigots love nothing more than to hear about these articles so you can use it as an excuse to do the very thing people are complaining about.

Seriously? This is a joke right?

Mine was left unsecured (only allowed some mac addresses) and named FREE INTERNET.

I wonder how many people tried to connect to it over and over.

and this.

There is some guy across the street--he's clearly insane/disturbed--that every night, around 9pm or so, he slams his front door loudly and shouts some random slur to some group or person, or idea. One night, it was "Fuck you, Hawaii! Gahhhhhhh!" slam slam slam.

I might change mine to "Fuck you, Hawaii!"

I might not agree with what they say, but they can say whatever they want to.

 

[waggy]

free speech trumps people's feelings. A hate crime? hardly. idiotic? sure and deserving to be hacked? yeah but a crime? no.

"Empowering Racists"?

See folks, this is what happens when we allow liberals to teach our children.

lol, truth. :thumbsup:

I'd put my wifi name as something racist just to harass everyone in my area, but I have two people who actually pay me for access to my wifi.

 

[zanejohnson]

lol....ni**ernet

[pyonir]

The jail time thing is ridiculous. If you have a home system, name it whatever you want. But at a community center? Come on. I guess common sense isn't common in racists anyway though.

 

[TridenT]

lol....

lol'd at that.

 

[zanejohnson]

but for real...racism is horrible

 

[zanejohnson]

lol'd at that.

I was thinking what in the world could someone name it...and it just popped right in rofl

 

[Kelvrick]

You guys broadcast your ssids?

 

[LiuKangBakinPie]

I hate all this WI-FI technology.

Just when I'm in the middle of a smashing porn film my neighbour turns his fucking router off.
