The mayor of Oakland freaked out over what she described as terrorist nooses left in a city park.

It turns out that it was just exercise equipment.

A pull up bar that can be hung from a tree branch and 4 exercise bands.

I am glad that his hysteria was sorted out before we had riots, looting, and calls to spend more money on social justice.

It is so easy to trigger people towards a certain reaction.

These people are just insane. Mass insanity has taken hold.

It is like living in a real life comedy satire show at the moment.

Schaaf will want trees removed as hate symbols because trees once held nooses.

Dumb.

This reminds me of a few scenes from college campuses last year such as the "mini noose" tacked to a bulletin board in a dorm that triggered the fools. it turned out it was a new pair of shoe laces that someone had dropped and someone had kindly stuck to the bulletin board so they could be found again. The safe space room at the college was over capacity that week. Or how about the homecoming that was ruined because some racist had tossed a banana peel into a tree. It turned out there wasn't a trash can nearby when a student had finished the fruit so he tossed the peel. I think he was expelled for that hate crime and then stoned to death.



I thought we were smarter than this but it seems that the paranoia triggering has now moved into the mainstream.


Dumb.

The Inquisition.

Salem Witch Trials.

Soviet Purges.

Cultural Revolution.

What's the definition of insanity again?

Ben Shapiro did an excellent show yesterday providing insight into this pathological white guilt/white savior complex that has taken over. This mayor has all of that. She isn't even giving the black community, or the black guy who hung the exercise ropes, a say in the matter! She has to 'protect them' from trauma that she insists they will have. If the black people using the exercise ropes weren't offended, how can a white person be so arrogant to be offended for them?

Libby Schaff. Another, PC, Woke, White Progressive SJW. How original.



But, I am sure she's OK with BLM and ANTIFA ritoing, burning, looting, destroying pulbic and private property and committing acts of violence. But a few pieces of rope give her the VAPORS. Effing hypocrite liberal (I know redundant).
