How far off of the ground was the noose knot? Looks like a simple kids tree swing, nobody else did this as a child?

Made a noose to swing from 😂😂 no I was a kid once and I know for sure we never made swings that looked like a noose!

It is basically a foot hold, stirrup like. It was fairly common in my childhood that is why I asked how far off of the ground it was. Given the height it is obvious that was not the case in this instance.

Four feet. Not a foot swing. 

"In an attempt to give perspective to the photo of the rope that was shared on the department's Facebook page, police say the bottom of the loop was approximately 4 feet from the ground."

That sort of ostracism is rampant, though. People here (not 10 Club, my town) are looking for any excuse other than admitting racism. The goddamn white supremacists were in town a day before the morning it was discovered.

And who the fuck brings a length of rope/twine to a public park to make a foot swing?

A tree in your yard? Yeah. A trip with your friends to the local swimming hole? Sure, I guess, assuming there's not one there already. But I've been on this planet for enough years to know that people don't tie off foot swings in public parks. If it was a foot swing, someone would've told the police as much already.

10 Club too, apparently.

Oh, yeah. Had one in my front yard growing up along with a tire swing. 

And we used to jump into swimming holes off them, too. And it always sucked if your foot got stuck on the dismount. That totally threw off what would’ve been an epic jump.

A noose is something I was taught never to make unless you were going to hang someone.  Never saw it as a race baiting tactic.

Either way it is a knot that I yell at people for making if I see them doing it.

Really?
Pretty obvious allusion to the KKK and lynching in the south if you ask me.

Yeah, not sure where you grew up but that was never ever a thing where I've been.  It had to be taught to me of all places, the news.  Same with the confederate flag.  Now I get how that is linked but not a noose.  

You know how many westerns I watched as a kid and not lynching's?

Well it wasn't a thing where I grew up either, it was just a part of US history that was taught in school.

If that is what I was taught into thinking then everyone hung in a western was a lynching and racially motivated which of course they were not.

I find it weird how people see a noose and think it's racist.  That's ridiculous.

Just need to add a little inference, folks don't hang nooses from trees to remind people about John Wayne movies.

Yes, that is fine.  I agree with that to a point.  There have been angry mobs that wanted to hang Pence though and other prominent white people in power so that is why I say it is silly.

That particular noose hanging there screams racism to me. So does that image anywhere else (ie, it hanging empty). Typically sends “a message “.

This I learned at a young age, I think from my father. 

I see a cheap plastic piece of line in a tree, it's not even rope(the difference between rope and line was ingrained in to me by my captain).  It would look like a kid was playing with it.

Weird that the mob trying to hang pence also supports and wants to uphold white supremacy at all costs including overthrowing democracy.  *im shocked*

You're not shocked that a group of white supremacist's wanted to hang a supposed white supremacist?

That is a statement I can get behind.

The whole Back the Blue movement kind of went to shit during this too.

I'm not shocked that they wanted to hang Mike Pence. Trump sent his gullible supporters after him and they were more than happy to oblige. 

I'm also not shocked that those trump supporters beat & killed police officers. 

I've always believed "Blue Lives Matter" was really just code for "No, Black Lives Don't Matter" and the events of 1/6 did nothing to dispel that notion for me.

“Terry Fanone, mother of Capitol police officer Michael Fanone, who was badly injured in the January 6 attack on the Capitol, appeared on CNN Tonight With Don Lemon Monday where she responded to former President Donald Trump defending the insurrectionists in an interview on Fox News last week. Officer Fanone was dragged into the crowd by the violent mob where he was tased multiple times and beaten, suffering a heart attack and a concussion. He is still dealing with a traumatic brain injury and post traumatic stress disorder.

But Trump’s characterization of the crowd was in stark contrast to what Officer Fanone experienced. In an interview with Laura Ingraham, Trump claimed the rioters posed “zero threat,” and that they were “hugging and kissing the police.”

Weird that the mob trying to hang pence also supports and wants to uphold white supremacy at all costs including overthrowing democracy.  *im shocked*

You're not shocked that a group of white supremacist's wanted to hang a supposed white supremacist?

Speaking for myself, I was about as shocked at that as I was to see the "Blue Lives Matter" crowd beat & kill Capitol Police Officers, which was not shocked at all. 

So you looked at the whole riot as just matter of fact?

What do you mean? 

If I read what you said right is that you weren't shocked that the mob wanted to hang pence or shocked that they beat the officers.

Many of these idiots truly believed that they were saving the Republic and that people protecting Congress were traitors.  Nothing shocks me about mob behavior or the herd mentality of people.  Years ago I read a book called Hitler's Willing Executioners, which is about the ordinary Germans complicity in the war crimes, and how society arrived at that heinous point in history.  America is no immune to the same.

Capitol's on lockdown at the moment. Someone drove a car into a couple of officers at a checkpoint.
