Construction halted at Obama Presidential Center after noose found at site
NY Post ^ | 12/28/2022 | Patrick Reilly

Construction at the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago has been temporarily halted after a noose was discovered at the worksite Thursday morning.

Lakeside Alliance, the construction company building the $830 million center, said it immediately notified police after the noose was reported on the premises, located in Jackson Park.

The company told The Post in a statement that it suspended “all operations onsite” in order to provide its employees with an additional series of anti bias training, citing a “zero tolerance” policy “for any form of bias or hate on our worksite.”

Totally bizarre! And they are making all construction employees receive "anti-bias training." My guess it is some sort of insurance scam by the insurers of the project. Maybe they are being advised by Jussie Smollett...

“Construction halted at Obama Presidential Center after noose found at site”

Interesting. Maybe I’ll order 50 of them and toss one on to the site every week or two. At least that way they won’t build anything for a while.

A random piece of rope found at a construction site is enough to shut down operations?

If some malefactor did put the noose there, aren’t they giving that person what they want?
