As we told you yesterday, a noose that was reported to have been found in a Harlem park sparked a hate crime investigation as directed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The "noose" turned out to be some rope that remained from a construction scaffold.
Meanwhile, in Oakland, California, multiple "nooses" spotted in a park were reported to the authorities, and the city's mayor ordered a hate crime investigation:
Libby Schaaf ~ Several nooses found on trees around Lake Merritt were removed and will be investigated as hate crimes.
Again, the nooses were found to not be nooses at all:
Washington Examiner ~ Nooses found in an Oakland, California, park were part of a "swing system" park-goers used for exercise.
Mark Harrison ~ From @ABC News' report:
"Victor Sengbe, who is black, told KGO-TV that the ropes were part of a rigging that he and his friends used as part of a larger swing system."
WDBJ7 ~ "It's unfortunate that a genuine gesture of just wanting to have a good time got misinterpreted into something so heinous," said Victor Sengbe, who claimed the ropes were part of a swing system he and his friends had rigged.
Agreed, Mr. Sengbe. The taskmasters of the Democrat Plantations are stupid beyond belief.
