Amazon halts construction at Connecticut site after 7th ‘noose’ found
New York Post ^ | May 21, 2021 | Will Feuer

Amazon is halting construction at a facility in Windsor, Connecticut after workers discovered the seventh case of a “rope which could be interpreted as a noose” at the site.

The first six were discovered at the work site during the last week of April.

The latest was Wednesday, when officers on a private duty assignment “were made aware of the discovery of a rope which could be interpreted as a noose hanging within overhead beams on the site,” police said.

“We continue to be deeply disturbed by the incidents happening at the construction site in Windsor and have ordered its shut down until necessary security measures can be put in place,” Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel said.

The ropes were hung in an area without surveillance cameras, police said, according to the Hartford Courant, and because the area has “hundreds of employees from various companies,” there’s been limited information on suspects.

The FBI is also involved in the investigation.

Wow. You nailed it. That didn't occur to me. But of course, that's exactly the case. The company I used to work for never bid jobs north of the Mason-Dixon line for precisely this reason.

Also, “.. a rope that could be interpreted as a noose...”? WTH? Maybe it was a crappy lasso.

Oh wow! That works better than a crucified dead black cat voodoo curse for stopping construction! Even better than the “Sacred Indian Burial Ground!” claim!

NAACP guy smearing ‘southerners’ who work there.

Most likely, one of HIS guys has been hanging the ropes.

I just looked at the photo. I do not believe that is a true hangman’s knot. The hangman’s knot is a slip knot. There looks like an extra loop of rope going through the main loop that would prevent it from tightening, much like we used to do on a roping lariat knot.

A seventh noose was found and then it was realized that employees had the
same symbol on their shoes out of sympathy for the protest. /s

If he’s on the trail of varmints, bank owner swindlers, city slicker con men, horse thieves and cattle rustlers then I’m on his side. Yessir.

Means he’s on his way to DC.

That’s not a noose. That’s a bow tie.

It may look more like a noose than what they found.

That’s the point.

We would have someone we named the “Phantom Sh*tter” who would drop a load on one of the tables in the eating area. It happened every month. No one was able to catch him.
