8th noose found at Conn. Amazon site despite additional security

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — NAACP, state and local officials on Wednesday denounced what they called continued racism at an Amazon warehouse construction site in Connecticut where eight nooses have been found within a month, despite additional security measures added last weekend.

The latest noose was found at the site in Windsor on Wednesday morning, the day of a scheduled meeting between workers and NAACP officials about safety and security, said Connecticut NAACP President Scot X. Esdaile.

“We have a serious problem in America and it hasn’t gone away,” Esdaile said. “It's deplorable. It’s sickening. It’s a sick mindset that Black people have to fight against.”

Amazon closed the site over the weekend, saying it was putting additional security measures in place after a seventh noose was found last week. The company closed the site again Wednesday to allow the FBI to investigate after the new noose was found under some electrical materials, Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel said in a statement.

The NAACP fool doesn’t need to find a noose to declare the entire country is racist. All he needs is the knowledge that there is just ONE white person left in all of North America.

The NAACP needs to be back on the Front Pages! A fake noose story will do the trick!

The FBI can send the same agents that investigated the door pull for Bubba Wallace, the “Juicy Smollett” of NOOSCAR.

I got 30 days in Facebook jail when I posted that the noose #7, was actually a non slip Honda knot with extra wrappings.

I then went to Google and found a drawing of how to make an actual noose and posted it on FB.

Bad Move. The FB Nazi Fainthearts swooned, clutched their pearls and hit the “30 days in jail button.”

I’ve had so many times in FB jail I now wear them as a badge of honor!

This is a planned effort to evade security 8 times. My guess is the union workers on site building it are doing it in protest that Amazon voted to not unionize the workers. But, time will tell.

99.99% of hate crimes, especially they ones where there is no actual victim (just some symbol put somewhere) are fake. Prove me wrong.

Maybe (3) someone who has been getting paid days off, every time one of these “nooses” is found, and enjoying the time off.

I expect the DOJ will be sending a team soon, and we can expect Biden to try to make us all feel guilty about this latest incident.

I'm certain that black troublemakers planted those nooses because that is simply not the way white people in Connecticut even think! Even if there were "white racists" up here, the notion that they would take as their symbol something that is (right or wrong) associated with the slavery-era Deep South is laughable.

If I were a betting person, I would bet this is YET another hate crime hoax.

Quick thinking authorities nabbed another suspect just as he was about to escape by boat.

It was Richard Petty.

Hmmm. Richard Petty, NASCAR, Bubba Waldron noose.

Koinkidink?

I think knot!

A little statistic worth pondering. During the 38 year reign of Henry VIII, something like 70,000 English and Welsh died by hanging out of a population of less than 2.8 million.

The most reputable statistic on the lynching of black Americans is 4,733 since 1882, when the respected Tuskegee Institute started keeping statistics until 1959, when the practice became so rare that they stopped.

That is less than 7% the number of people hung in more than twice the amount of time. If adjusted for population, it wouldn't even break 1%. So who really owns fear of the noose?

Oh yes, again, it MUST be evil white people.

Never examine to see what it REALLY is - fake “hate” crime.

My guess is blacks getting away with it really well.

OTOH, since so many have come up with no catch, perhaps it’s NOT a black person after all. ;-)

A noose is a manifestation of FREE SPEECH.

Making and display of a noose is a basic human right

THE SICK MINDSET IS PEOPLE WISHING RACISM BE RAMPANT.

So you won’t lose your cash flow and your notariety.

That’s the other thing - all this effort and money for a stupid prank (at best)?
