Instead of a stress ball at my old job I had a length of paracord I use to practice my knots. I made a noose and hung it from my desk lamp. NO ONE CARED!!!

Now it warrants the full force and power of the federal government? What the hell? We have a literal invasion on our border and THIS is what’s important to these clowns?

Until it is found to have been placed by a member of an aggrieved minority group, at which point it will fade into oblivion.

“They also act like no whites were ever hanged. It is more commie propaganda about “lynching.” Meanwhile, for decades there has been a silent epidemic of black on white crime, including rape and murder, with nary a peep from DC. Yet a piece of rope is a federal issue?”

They also vastly overstate the number of lynching that have occurred over hundreds of years, by simply retreating to “nobody bothered reporting them”. Libs are solving this problem with abortion and contraception...

The last time a white person used a noose as a symbol of hate is when the Democrats used them in the Jim Crow South.

Good historic catch. They called the B-24s “Ronsons” because they lit up every time. The B-24 was a great long range naval patrol aircraft and a horrible heavy bomber for AA rich areas because of its serious vulnerability.

the boys would make tiny swords with gimp, beads and straight pins.


Making those at home, and selling them at school, was my first successful business venture. Profit went mainly to buy .22 shells. Yes, 2nd-4th grade, and I had a rifle.

Haven’t shot anyone yet, but I did once grab a short sword off the wall, and use the flat of the blade to head-bonk, then butt-beat a drunk and belligerent neighbor, who barged through my front door with an imaginary grievance, out of the house. Nice guy sober, so didn’t want to hurt him.

Not the old “noose in the workplace” gag again. Retire it. Let it be.

Rally Planned Over Noose Found Hanging at Worcester Post Office

Wonder if the rally is "pro-noose" or "anti-noose" ?

Are they protesting because it didn’t have the requisite 13 wraps? Or because it did?

Well, any port in a storm - when you’ve got to have constant fuel to keep the base inflamed over racism and intolerance, why not assert that a noose is surely a sign of such outrages run amok, even though there’ve been multiples more whites than minorities hung in the history of this country....
