Minneapolis officials have asked the FBI to investigate after a piece of rope resembling a noose was found in a black firefighter’s locker.

The rope was found at a Bloomington fire station on June 15, and was not reported for a week. The rope was tied into what appeared to be a crude noose, according to reports.

“Acts like this that embody hate, intimidation, and aggression will not be tolerated,” Bloomington Fire Chief Ulie Seal said in the release. “The firefighter who brought this to our attention has demonstrated extreme strength and bravery and has done the right thing.”

Bloomington Mayor Tim Busse said he is “disgusted, angry, and embarrassed by this cowardly act. To be clear, this incident is very serious and is being dealt with aggressively.”

Busse said the city plans to bring in a mental health consultant “to address the emotional, social, and psychological trauma that results from racial traumatic events.”

Syllogism...

1. “... racism is a mental disease that needs to be
confined and treated,”

2. All whites are racists.

3. Ergo...

Same thing I thought about Bubba (Jussie) Wallace. You’re a professional race car driver and you go to pieces because somebody TELLS YOU about a piece of rope? Not buying it...it’s phony histrionics to get on board the lucrative victim train.

You have to ask yourself; how did it get into HIS locker,the name “locker” implies that it should have been a secure space.

Just another JUICY SMOLAY act.

Rumor is going around that the Mayor will change his name to “Tim Nusse!” or Noosie, whatever the BS crowd demands.

How many times can they run this play complete with political professed submission apologies, trauma experts sent in to counsel everyone else who can’t stand the event even if it were true?

“It’s been a weird “trend” from the very beginning. Most Americans associate nooses with cattle rustlers and gunslingers being hanged in Westerns, not black people.”

Then there is this:

Even “IF” true...Even “IF” a “noose”... throw it in the trash and get on with your day.

What? Are you afraid that the other firemen (YES! FIREMEN) are going to lynch you in the locker room? REALLY?

You just discovered by finding a rope/noose? in your locker that some other fireman might not “like” you. (race related or not, maybe just intimidation ).

That someone at work might not really like Black people all that much? What? You didn’t know that even today there are still some people with prejudices?

Were you born/are you living in a BUBBLE?

Put your big boy pants on, pull them up, and get back to work.

Can the FIBbies please investigate the numerous Antifa/BLM attacks (on buildings and people), that have occurred across the country?

It would be cheaper to provide him with a big fluffy stuffed animal that he could cuddle with.

The FBI agents that went to Talladega mostly just wanted an all-expense paid trip to see a NASCAR race.

You got it!

Let’s just hope your children don’t have it,
but just to be sure they need to be isolated
in a government treatment facility...
