WaPo: Dozens Of "Nooses" Have Shown Up On U.S. Construction Sites. The Culprits Rarely Face Consequences.

Oh, WaPo... Remember when you used to do journalism?

Or, as we say here on the interwebs: pics or it didn't happen.

Spoiler alert: there are no pics.

In fact, there are few links.

There is one link such that, if you click through and do some more clicking and scrolling, you can find a pic of what is definitely a noose. 

My WAG is that that's another fake hate crime...FHCs possibly being more common than the non-fake kind.

Of course we know from previous encounters with this issue that we're dealing mostly with what are commonly called "loops"... 

So it's no surprise that WaPo doesn't include pics. 

There's no reason to waste a lot of time on this. The demand for racism exceeds the supply. The loony left has been manufacturing "hate crimes" for decades, and they've kicked into high gear since they fell off the edge of reason in 2014 or whenever. The Post is talking about 55 alleged incidents since 2015--i.e. in 6.5 years...on all the jobsites in America...and, for some reason, Toronto. Wonder why Toronto? Well, I can tell you why even though the Post doesn't: there were similar incidents in Toronto, and by including Toronto, they could pump the number up to 55. I could be wrong, but I'm not. This is similar to the inductive fallacy of arbitrary starting and stopping. Which I'm sure is involved too. You don't arbitrarily include a foreign city in such a list unless it bumps up your numbers. 

Right. So I'm sure some of these incidents are real. I'm sure most of them aren't. I'm sure some of more noosey nooses were tied by the people who "discovered" them. I'm sure that, if there had been an actual "hate crime" on the Amazon construction site, somebody would have claimed that $100k by now. In fact, it might be worth turning yourself in for that kind of scratch... Well, probably not now, in the midst of the Hysteria...

Oh, yeah...remember when the noose alerts were issued for the exercise equipment?

Of course there are undoubtedly also incidents that go unreported, too. So that's a thing.

Clever snark from the YouTube comments: Defund the police...except for when you want them to hunt down people who put loops in ropes...

Look, progressives still believe Jussie Smollett. Their bullshit detectors are completely busted. They think men can be women. They think we're all going to die from CO2. They still think Trump is a "Russian asset." They're wrong about everything... They just flat-out make shit up...all the time...

So, um...I wouldn't get to worked up about this stuff.
