Pritzker: “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.”

Nevermind the murder and mayhem all over Chicago every day...make hay over this.

“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 by DemocRats for centuries.”

Fixed it.

it’s cold out, somebody wanted the day off...

Nice way to pad the bill.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

This could be a way to stop all feral government projects!

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

Huh. Is throwing some rope over a fence a crime in any way? Worst case, what, a couple hours of community service?

Get your buddy to toss the rope.

Report him and he gets a spanking?

Make $100M (maybe $50M after taxes), give your buddy $10M for his troubles.

Repeat.

"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."

Anti-bias training in Spanish?

This is the second time isn’t it?

Thgere were many non blacks who were hanged in America’s past.

So everyone get scolded for one person's stupid choice? And that 'one person' might be a community member doing a hoax?

Maybe the same techniques should be used for the out of control murder situation in Chicago.

Require everyone within a 3 block area of an unsolved murder to attend three days of 'anti hate' classes based on the truism killing a person is never an act of love. Let's scold the people in 'the community' - whether they were involved or not. Obama's team thinks it works...

So, all that’s necessary to shut down construction on “Big O’s” presidential…er, library/research center for a few days is for a noose to be found on the site?

Queue up the drones!!!

Those triggered workers will be in reeducation Hell !

‘course, the whole scheme collapses when the investigators find out the drones are owned and operated by the sensitivity training provider.

Jussie Smollett must have visited the site.

[Brown Deer]

They are offering a $100,000 reward to help find whoever was responsible. Are they going to hang the person who left the rope at the construction site? Why are the police investigating this nonsense?

Hanging has been practiced legally in the United States of America from before the nation’s birth, up to 1972 when the United States Supreme Court found capital punishment to be in violation of the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Four years later, the Supreme Court overturned its previous ruling, and in 1976, capital punishment was again legalized in the United States. As of 2021, three states have laws that specify hanging as an available secondary method of execution.

Unfortunately, in 2003, the gallows at the Delaware Correctional Center were taken down. They would have been an appropriate means of execution for one of the biggest crime families in this country.
