I glanced at the headline and at first I thought it said ......."noses"......which would rather be bad, too!

Does that look to you like it was placed there for some construction purpose? What are they doing with that, specifically?

(I'm a little surprised whoever put that thing there could do it without being seen by someone or video surveillance, actually. This isn't a rope tossed over a low beam or discarded in a corner. It took effort to get that thing up there, and if it's being used for some purpose related to construction I'd sure like to hear it).

Hopefully they find who made these nooses and charge them with a hate crime!

Doesn't a hate crime require a victim?

You find a rope hanging, you throw it away. Problem solved.

You broadcast it all over the world, new problems are created. People are not working today because a rope was found. Unbelievable.
