Three cardboard cutouts of black people were reportedly found hanged in effigy from nooses on the UC Berkeley campus on Saturday morning.
The incident follows a week of protests on the streets of Berkeley, California, to denounce the grand jury decisions not to indict white police officers in the deaths of two unarmed black men in St. Louis and New York.
Local pastor Michael McBride was the first to share the image on Twitter.
One of the hanged figures, which appears to be a cardboard cutout of a lynched woman identified as Laura Nelson from 1911. The cutout includes the hashtag “#ICantBreathe,” presumably in reference to Eric Garner’s last words before he was choked to death by police on Staten Island last July.
UC Berkeley police told Fusion they were unable to provide details about the nooses found on campus, but said they’re investigating the case.
But guess who’ll get the finger pointed at them.
More hoaxes
Reichstag fire.
waitaminute! Is the work of evilracists or just misguided wite people without direction of Black Leadership??
Of course, In actuality its all just STUPID.
Not a single post on the comment thread believes the story is anything more than the latest leftie subterfuge and propaganda.
Really? Berkeley? I could see something like that happening in Madison, Ann Arbor, or even Burlington, but Berkeley? I’m deeply shucked.
As 90% of black killings are done by blacks, it would be a safe bet that the perp was not Caucasian.
This is the work of vile liberal activist radicals. The sad thing is it will probably produce their desired results.
Probably from the same left-wing agitator crowd that sprays swastikas on synagogues and black churches. It leads the local news, with implications that racists and Nazis are still active.
Hoax. Like all the rest. But that won’t stop the campus from going into paroxysms of liberal white guilt. Even when it’s proven to be a hoax, it won’t matter. Because the “narrative” of white evil is more important than any pesky facts.
Hoax and intramural incitement. ..
Fake. I call fake. Libtards do this sh1t all the time.
If ALL of California is that bad then why spend any
of your time here at a site originating from California
and hosted by a Californian? Are you sure you are not
exaggerating a little? Do all people in Kentucky marry
their first cousin?
18 million registered voters here didn’t vote in the last election and you can be sure at least 20-30% of those were republican/non statists. All they had to was vote and the state would be red.
Obviously the people in CA are either not under enough pressure to quit letting themselves be run by idiots, or else they are so busy trying to keep their heads above financial water they aren’t paying attention.
It doesn’t help any that the dirtbags in the RNC don’t put money into CA because they feel it’s wasted...
Social justice warriors are at it again.
I assume the Democrats did this crap — they’ve done it before...
Agree!
Where’s the surveillance camera footage picking up this activity?
These lefties are really pining for the “good old days” of the K K K, Jim Crow and slavery. I guess harmonious race relations aren’t good for the activist biz.
