8th noose found at Conn. Amazon site despite additional security

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — NAACP, state and local officials on Wednesday denounced what they called continued racism at an Amazon warehouse construction site in Connecticut where eight nooses have been found within a month, despite additional security measures added last weekend.

The latest noose was found at the site in Windsor on Wednesday morning, the day of a scheduled meeting between workers and NAACP officials about safety and security, said Connecticut NAACP President Scot X. Esdaile.

“We have a serious problem in America and it hasn’t gone away,” Esdaile said. “It's deplorable. It’s sickening. It’s a sick mindset that Black people have to fight against.”

Amazon closed the site over the weekend, saying it was putting additional security measures in place after a seventh noose was found last week. The company closed the site again Wednesday to allow the FBI to investigate after the new noose was found under some electrical materials, Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel said in a statement.

Sounds like an inside job to me.
This is most assuredly a hoax.

If you get more agitated over a race hoax noose than you do over the 400+ whites murdered by blacks each year ... you might be a Democrat.

No need to discuss who’s responsible...and who’s not.

Here is another hoax from earlier in the week.

Someone painted Swastika and klan hood on a car at a repair shop near Fayetteville NC. Video surveillance shows both perps were black.

Well, the one photo I did see of the reported noose actually looked like a noose. And it was tied high enough to have needed a ladder or others lift to put it in place. Certainly wasn’t a girly-man’s garage pull.

Do they think it’s racism instead of Amazon employees trying to kill themselves over the working conditions?

I’ve always heard no noose is good noose.

When in junior high every loose piece of cord had noose in it. It had nothing to lynching anyone. It was just cool to tie a hangman’s knot.

If I used a light piece of rope to tie a hangman’s knot and then suspend it from my rear view mirror would ghat be a hate crime? Don’t think so.

Ok quickly....cliff notes history

It’s called lighting the cross and existed long before like medieval before the klan appropriated it for outdoor propaganda

Southern blacks.?

Blacks moved north from 1866 on...especially post WWI and were targets of political intimidation and lynchings outside of the South

In fact this is funny for race baiters but given how many blacks are in Dixie....a helluva lot I can assure you almost half of my home state...but someone should do a study of proportional lynching by a states black populations ...I think people would be surprised ...especially the Midwest

The first Klan was counter reconstruction and military occupation

The second larger Klan was nationwide and fairly accepted believe it or not and targeted immigration Catholics and Jews and blacks....

You’re probably surprised that that was possible but look how easy groups today vilify white Christians and nobody says much

The pendulum has swung especially in media and our institutions

Lest forget...whites got lynched too

And I know i know...an inconvenient truth...some of these folks were guilty of bad things....very bad things

We are not allowed to see a photo of the ‘noose’

I saw a photo in a previous story, and the knot did in fact look like a noose. I would think it's pretty easy to see someone on CCTV doing it.

AND they have no idea if there is even a racial component.

None.

Zilch.

It’s an assumption.

I’m wondering how many garage type bay doors there are at this Amazon facility. Sounds a lot like what was happening with the nooses at NASCAR.

IOW, the union goons who are doing this noose "protest" and still smarting from their setback in Alabama are really just white supremacists.
