“I guess they noticed only the one holding the flag, which means that it’s the flag that triggers them ”

College Fix:

However, administrators scramble to get the cable taken down

A construction company building a parking structure at Central Connecticut State University had hoisted an American flag at the end of one of its steel cable loops to mark Memorial Day — but a complaint that the cable was a noose prompted campus officials to apologize and pledge to take down the cable as soon as possible.

“Early this evening, we received a complaint about a possible noose found hanging from a construction site on the CCSU campus. Campus Police … investigated and found that it was not a noose but a standard steel cable loop hanging from a crane,” wrote President Zulma Toro in an email to the campus community on Saturday night.

“A construction crew working on campus hung an American flag from the crane’s cable to recognize Memorial Day,” added Toro in her email, a copy of which was obtained by The College Fix.

Toro continued that steel cable loops are often used by cranes, but that there was another similar concern recently reported regarding another nearby construction site. In the end, Toro sided with those offended by the steel cable loop’s visual similarity to a noose. read more

  3. The person(s) making the complaint should be charged with false reporting of a crime. If they just “complained” then the name(s) should be published as Whiney Little Bitches.

  6. “That’s not a noose, but you are an idiot.” would have been the reasoned response, but everyone wants to bow to every perceived whine as a threat these days.
    We’ve become the land of pussies, when they’re not stabbing you in the back.

  7. Outlaw chain-linked fences. They are continuous loops of metal chained together in a loop. Get rid of dog collars and leashes as they both have loops in them. It’s getting outrageous what people will invent to intimidate black people.

  11. Ha,ha,ha,ha…etc.,look out cowboys they’re coming for your lassos next! What a bunch of ignorant people! The really, really sad part is the college leaders are as stupid as the kids and it made the news!

  15. Ronald Davis, president of the New Britain NAACP:

    Regardless of what someone else says about that, what I see, as a black man? That’s a noose. Period. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Take it down.

    Regardless of what some NAACP race panderer says about that wire loop, what I see, as a sane man? That’s a wire loop. Whining that it makes you think of a noose makes you a racist bigot. Racist. Bigot. Period. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Pipe down.”

  16. It will go down in the fbi white hate crime statistics. No doubt.

    I just learned this morning that obama halted the production of gov’t interracial rape statistics. There are so many black on white rapes that it irks the left for there to be statistics pointing it out.

    Also, they stopped giving out many stats on homos and aids long ago. It doesn’t make them look good when you find out so many of them have hiv. So they stopped manufacturing the stats.

    It’s hard to be patriotic. What is there to love?

  19. I’m going to start hanging actual nooses around my property. No one can tell me what I can or can not tie with my rope. I’ve even got some old school hemp rope that should make a nice display.

  20. Regardless of what someone else says about that, what I see, as a black man? That’s a noose. Period. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Take it down.

    So you take offense when none is intended and find imputed evil in ordinary things? Seek help.
