Uh Oh another "noose" sighting and lawyered up with the quickness.

Kyrin Taylor, a 23-year-old apprentice electrician, said he found a noose hanging in his workspace when he arrived at Cooper Power and Lighting Corp. on April 20, his lawyer, Frederick Brewington, told CNN on Monday.
"Seeing this took my breath away and I really did not know what to do or what to think," Taylor said, according to CNN.

Taylor then called the police because he was concerned about his safety, and he got in touch with his union, IBEW Local 25, to notify it of the incident, Brewington told the cable news channel.
The Suffolk County Police Department confirmed the investigation to The Hill on Tuesday, adding that Hate Crimes Unit detectives are looking into the incident.
Taylor said his boss reprimanded him for contacting the police.
“I couldn't believe he didn't show any compassion, didn't say sorry or have my back. He made it seem like I was wrong for calling the police and asking for help,” Taylor said in a press conference following the incident, according to CBS 2 New York.
"I am the only African American working for [Cooper Power and Lighting] and this was not the first time I was treated with disrespect," Taylor said, according to CNN.
"I have been targeted by this act of pure hate and I just don't know what to think. When will people stop thinking it is alright to terrorize Black people?” he added.
According to CNN, Taylor’s union helped him find a new employer, and he started that job on Monday.
After the incident, Taylor said he felt like his life was in danger.
“I instantly felt anger. I felt scared, like my life was in danger. I didn't know what to really do, to be honest,” he said, according to CBS 2 New York. LINK

What's the likelihood of this being a hoax? 95%?

He's been trained well. Funny he expects everyone to agree with his paranoia which may or may not have any basis in reality.

Should us whites declare something racist and every time we see it collapse into histrionics?
Like what if every time we stumbled across a jar of mayonnaise we called a lawyer, the news, and got half a million dollars for our pain and suffering? It's brilliant.

Yeah, dude. I really believe your colleagues at a company in Long fricking Island threatened to snap your neck by rope just because you’re black and working there.
He probably was a frick up and just needed a reason for his union to move him somewhere without his arse getting fired.

While the story is probably BS, the media would understandably not publish a photo of the noose.

Working on power lines and poles prob. requires a lot of rigged ropes and cords to secure oneself. Hated the job and created a hoax to get paid. Labels a rigging for climbing a "noose."

Sorry, I don't believe this.
I'll happily apologize if I'm wrong, but the first time one of these turns out to be legit will be essentially the first time one of these turned out to be legit.
How many times do these things have to turn out to be total horse shite before people go into these claims skeptically?

Making matters worse, Taylor said he was admonished by the owner of the company for calling police instead of bringing the matter to him first.
Well no fricking shite. What owner of a company wants this kind of attention before even knowing about it or even attempting to get to the bottom of it?

fricking lying pussy. I guarantee this is a hustle.

All kidding aside, the temptation must be incredible and I honestly applaud rational, normal black people for not falling for this.

Odds on this "noose" simply being some wiring or cable stored in some way that slightly resembled a noose?

I’d fire them in a heartbeat. I’ll take my chances in court.

You would think though he would publish a photo of the noose though. NASCAR/Bubba Wallace put their’s out there, and we all laughed hysterically.
