Students march against hate after 2 nooses found on Sonoma State campus (California)

Hundreds of students marched against hate on Tuesday on the campus of Sonoma State University [Rohnert Park, California], where two nooses were discovered. One was found in a classroom last week, another was found in a swimming pool area earlier this month.

The day of action march comes at an especially sensitive time as the nation is still reeling from recent mass shootings motivated by racism and hatred. The march of nearly 100 students and staff also comes during final exams week and during graduation.

Jason Hill, a student, said the discovery of the nooses was disturbing and did not understand the intentions behind the gesture. "That's not right. There needs to be a punishment."

The school finds itself investigating both incidents as hate crimes, which carry jail time and fines. The noose found in a classroom was in Salazar Hall.

"That's concerning to us is the manner by which they were placed in such a public place really concerns us," said Sonoma State Police Chief Nader Oweis.

"We're trying to track down some tips. We take this as being very serious. We don't know what the intention of an individual or individuals that may have placed these nooses on our campus.

The first incident was pretty much discounted by the student body as a prank.

"We go the email last week about another one found in Salazar Hall. Yeah, it seems like that's probably what's going on, and it's a little bit scary," said student Lydia Furtauer. "That's not the culture here. That's not the culture that I've experienced."

Yawn. They had a "Day of Action." I guess that's not as powerful as a "Day of Rage."

One of the pinheads hangs up a couple “nooses” and the pinheads automatically start a clown parade. Extra credit from “perfeser” Lenin.

Nooses are offensive.
Decedents of horse thieves especially offended

That single NASCAR noose got the attention of 15 FBI agents. I guess that now, with 2 nooses, the FBI will send 30 agents. Boy, I bet the FBI investigation of Hunter Biden will really slow down if they pull 30 agents off his case for these nooses.

Most of the nooses found in the past have been hoaxes hoping to incite hatred towards whites. How do we know this is not the same?

And right after the shooting massacre?

The butthurt is pervasive on the Sonoma campus. I'm betting they won't even get a rise out of the professional victims when a black accosts a white person.

Yup. I’m betting that too. Most likely a hoax perpetrated to get America’s youth riled up during an election year.

Good God, the uproar over a couple stupid “incidents”.

If they’re NOT hoaxes, you’re feeding the “racist” with all the attention, and perhaps proving a point.

Never mind how totally disgusting it is to knee-jerk over a hoax. (Only 90% disgusting if real.)

The ones doing the marching are 95% likely to be the same ones who put up the nooses
