Hell. all someone has to do is hold up a noose and they are banished for life
But of course kept alive as a media story to blame Trump
In Manchester CT, a mutt named Omar Sheriff Thornton shot and killed eight of his coworkers (before blowing his own brains out) because (he claimed) someone drew a noose on a wall in the men's room. This was in August of 2010.
After the murders, the police investigated the charge of racism at the company (Hartford Distributors, a beverage wholesaler). Other minority employees at the company disputed the charge, saying that they felt no racism there.
