What if I don’t use it for intimidation but rather just tie it for practice and to use to tie around logs I drag behind my bike like when I was a kid ?

Is that crimminal ?

I suspect more nooses will begin to appear as a consequence of this asinine Bill.

The article has all the words I need.

Connecticut is bigoted, racist, repugnant, and cowardly.

Nooses are bigotry or racism. More whites swung by the noose in this country than blacks ANYDAY. Think Nathan Hale. Think cattle rustlers.

What hogwash.

It's not folks in Connecticut who need an anti-noose law.

This photo was taken at the elementary school run by Grambling State University, LA, during the controversy over the Jena Six. "Kindergarten and first-grade students at Alma J. Brown Elementary School were being taught why nooses are a symbol of racism."

Politically correct fool. You people in CT had better learn how to display a noose NOT as a way of harassing or threatening someone.

YES WE CAN!!!

There are, I believe states that still have hanging as a means of the meting out the death sentence. Will that be considered racist?

So “Hang ‘em High” with Clint Eastwood can’t be shown there anymore?

In “The Gulag Archipelago” Solzhenitsyn related the story of a peasant who was ordered to go to the next village and bring back a large bust of Stalin. When he got there he found that the bust was too unwieldy to carry, so he took off his belt, looped it around the neck of the bust, put it over his shoulder, and went on his way. He got twenty years for terrorism, if I remember correctly.

The supposedly freest country in the world slavishly prostrates itself to thought crime laws.

Seems like anytime a noose shows up it’s on someone’s door who is either being investigated or is a deranged attention starved person.

What a do-nothing law.

FTA: which makes it a crime to display a noose as a way of harassing or threatening someone.

Threatening and harassing people is already illegal.

Baseball bat, noose, tire iron. Whatever.

Threaten anyone with or without anything and it is a threat. Harass anyone with or with out anything and it is harassment.

Our CT legislators have nothing to do, they insist on staying in session and blathering on and on. Can’t wait for the next thing to pop into someone’s mind and demand it be a law. Good Heavens!
BTW didn’t the lady Professor that declared nooses were left everywhere around her found to be lying?
