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.”
The company additionally said it was offering a $100,000 reward to find the culprit.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker also condemned the act.
“Hate has no place in Illinois,” he said in a social media post. “The noose is more than a symbol of racism, it is a heart-stopping reminder of the violence and terror inflicted on Black Americans for centuries.”

True but that would be like expecting Stalin to send wheat to the Ukraine.
You beat me to it!
Think I am kidding?
If that construction company didnt submit its “taste” and guess what?
What woosies! I am always amazed that symbols can have such a big affect. When did construction workers become little people?
If I turn myself in, do I get the reward??
String and pronouns have the ability to shut everything down. What has happened to this once-great country?
Governor says:
“Hate has no place in Illinois”
What about Jussie?
;-)
Anybody check the whereabouts of Jussie Smollett?
Snowflakes. A complete work stoppage?
Let’s see it.
. A loop in a rope is not a “noose”.

Technically
A noose
isn’t a hangman noose
unless it has at least 13 wraps.
...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.”

This company really knows how to play the game.
Noose by who? The rats?

That’s noose to me.
“Construction halted at Obama Presidential Center after noose found at site”
Probably a local - they never wanted this crape in their neighborhood.
“Juicy Smoo-yay, that famous French actor”
The whole center is a waste of money. Should just make a huge homeless center or Abortion Center.
When was the closest NOOSECAR race?
That’s noose to me.

Lol.
I had an officer at my place once taking a theft report.
I had taken to using a hangman noose hanging from a hook in my ceiling to hang my bass guitar from instead of using an guitar stand.
( crowded apartment living room )
After taking my report the officer enlightened me to the specifics of the oregon law regarding the noose.
I retied the noose with less than 13 wraps before he left.
He might have been pulling my leg, but I never forgot the incident.
