Oklahoma drivers were stunned this weekend when they saw a group of nooses displayed along the side of a highway....

..."If you think of a noose in America, it doesn't represent anything but what used to happen to African Americans," Terrance Reed told the station. "He got the right to do what he wants to do, he’s got a right to feel what he wanna feel, but I got a right to be angry about it too, and I’m angry."

That dimwit is mad over a noose. LOL. Wait till the mooslims start slinging the machetes here in good ole Merika and just remove the heads instead of just hanging them.

Almost ever blind cord had a noose tied at the end of it

I got into bit of trouble with the cords once.
A friend of my Career Navy father, taught me the knot the Japanese used on him as a POW.

I demonstrated it on a fellow student.
He was certain he could escape.
He could not!

The bell rang and all but one of us ran for the next class.

he blatantly twisted the sign’s wording to turn it into racism. What a tool.

It represents the Old West and cattle rustling.

As a white southerner, I have to say that there are racial overtones here.

“It’s best not to be hanging around this area after dark.”

In the South, as well as other places, there were plenty of places with signs warning blacks not to stay after dark.

A noose by itself is not such a big deal, but the noose plus the sign is a pretty blatant reference.

BTW, love the screen name. 1/15 IN here.

He stated what he wanted the sign to read.Same mentality as in Milwaukee.
Nothing really to bitch about so lets make stuff up.

The local media rag ran his lie

I believe it is called a Constrictor knot.

I have had lots ‘escape artists’ attempt it.
With hands behind back, none have escaped!
In front they can chew their way out, one had a lighter in his pocket, let him out before he set the place on fire.

One individual became highly enraged!
Another fell down and could not get back on his feet!
Most quickly concede.

Who are these 'drivers'? Sound like a bunch of wimps to me.

Uh, no Terrance. Don’t believe everything that BLM tells you.

My personal mental association for a noose is with the cowboy movies and the cowboy TV shows of the 1950s and 1960s.

Same here. And I remember that boys would do that with the cords on the blinds.
