quote:

Police have ruled that a rope resembling a noose which was found at the University Hospital in Michigan was not the result of a hate crime but someone practicing tying a fishing knot.

The University of Michigan's Division of Public Safety and Security (DPSS) said following an "extensive investigation" that there were no racial connotations to the spool of rope which was discovered on a shared work space at the hospital on June 20.


quote:

The DPSS launched an investigation into a suspected hate crime after receiving a report from an employee who found the spool of rope.

The review found that the rope was being used by a person to practice making a "Uni Knot," a type of knot used for fishing which at one stage in the tying process bears a similar resemble to a noose.


quote:

The DPSS said their conclusions were based on multiple witness interviews and other evidence but will be willing to reopen its investigation if any other new information comes forward.

Most of these situations arise due to the lack of knowledge about something.

Ban fishing.

Probably racist origins anyway.

In other words, the person who reported the noose was minorities favorite word, ignorant.

That LSU student who always somehow ended up as the target of very questionable at best racial attacks must work at that hospital

I have to assume that the "spool of rope" must have been very small or was fishing line, which makes this story even more ridiculous

Won’t be long before we can no longer have laces on our shoes for fear of sparking the race baiters’ ire.
