A few weeks ago, the University of Michigan Hospital launched an investigation after a supposed noose was found on an employee’s desk. Now the investigation has concluded after finding that it wasn’t a noose at all.
Is anyone surprised?
The university’s Division of Public Safety and Security released this statement:
DPSS statement on investigation of possible hate crime at Michigan Medicine
Following an extensive investigation, the University of Michigan’s Division of Public Safety and Security (DPSS) has concluded that the rope resembling a noose found at University Hospital was not the result of a hate crime.
On June 20, 2019, DPSS received a report that a Michigan Medicine employee found a spool of rope with a knot in it resembling a noose sitting on a shared workspace in University Hospital.
Based on multiple witness interviews and other evidence, DPSS does not believe that the incident involving the rope was a hate crime. If relevant new information comes forward, the case will be reopened.
During the investigation, it was learned that a spool of rope utilized for medical procedures was being used by a person on a break to practice tying a “Uni Knot,” which is a type of knot used for fishing. When the spool was returned to the storage area, the knot was still in place and discovered the following day by an employee.
So it was a Uni Knot. Those are apparently a common sight among fishing enthusiasts:
When this story first broke, as usual, it was reported with a sense of panic by many media outlets.
From the New American:
Hospital Hysteria
MichiganLive.com opened its breathless report on the medical-school hate hoax in Ann Arbor this way:
“University of Michigan police are investigating a possible racially motivated threat against two Michigan Medicine employees who found a noose left in their work area Thursday, June 20,” the website reported.
Thus did the dean, Dr. Marschall Runge, spring into action: “Yesterday, in one of our hospitals, a noose — a symbol of hate and discrimination — was found at the work station of two of our employees,” he warned. “We have taken immediate action to have this investigated as both an act of discrimination and a criminal act of ethnic intimidation.”
Ethnic intimidation in Ann Arbor, Michigan? In 2019?
Intoned Runge, “this act of hate violates all of the values that we hold dear and will not be tolerated.”
WDIV News in Detroit noted that students were “disturbed” by the situation:
Well, everyone can rest easy now.
It was just another campus panic over nothing.
LOLOL...guess they were practicing for the day they catch old “pencil neck.”
“Everywhere I go, there’s nothing but nooses.
I can’t even drive my car, because the street is literally full of nooses. I need a damn noose boat just to get around.”
They’re a damn noosance.
Noosetradamus predicted this was a hoax.
Just like “racists” are hiding behind every rock, tree, and blade of grass.
It’s a conspiracy. I blame La Cosa Noosetra
There exists in this country a cultivated mindset that conservatives are all things evil. We have gradually devolved into fictional characters, invented by the left, and animated by whatever awful thoughts, beliefs, and imaginary actions the anti-American hate cult can conjure up, mostly on the basis that we still have faith, or love our country, or believe in true justice rather than socialist justice.Mr. Brown posits we are roughly 1932 Germany when the Jews began being demonized for everything. Daily lies of "RACIST" and fake nooses are all part of the same strategy to wipe out traditional America.It’s been going on for a long time. I was a Reagan supporter as a teenager and college student, so I’ve been hearing for almost my entire life what a rotten person I obviously am. Of course, I am none of the things that are pinned on me, but it doesn’t matter. I am who they say I am, and they believe it to their cores.
It is a fascinating process, watching yourself being defined by people who actively practice what they pretend to condemn. The awful things that they project upon us don’t spring from our minds, but from theirs. Those terrible thoughts and dark motives are bred in their own warped psyches. When they spring forth, we are assured that these are what drive others but not themselves.
Their bigotry is limitless, their hatred palpable. Their distrust and loathing is out of all proportion to anything they’ve actually ever seen. We do live among them, of course. We interact with them every day. We remnants of America are polite, rational and logical. Except when we upset the cult. Then we become fictional creatures entirely.
HAH!
The left’s going to have organize a new ‘charlottesville’ to keep their hate alone...
Thanks for the link.
I would be worried about all the scalpels and needles at the hospital.
Tying fishing line is now a hate crime?? I-kid-you Knot…
The proper number of turns on a hangman's noose is the number that is aesthetically pleasing, but is at least 4.
It's now official.
Gee, I hope no one peed their pants or smeared their makeup with tears.
Good God. This hate-crime nonsense has to stop.
Seriously, wasting time and resources looking into a rope? A word? A gesture? How about actual ACTIONS violating someone’s RIGHTS?
We are absolutely insane.
But everybody knows that "fishing enthusiast" means white just like "aspiring rapper" means black, and whites tie those complicated knots to signal each other what they WANT to do with blacks.
FIND THE RACIST! PUNCH A NAZI!
The world needs mo lassos.
