Its unfortunate that a genuine gesture of just wanting to have a good time got misinterpreted into something so heinous, he told the station. Nooses have been associated with the lynching of black people and used as symbols to taunt or terrorize African Americans. Schaaf said officials must start with the assumption that these are hate crimes. However, the mayor and Nicholas Williams, the citys director of parks recreation, also said it didnt matter whether the ropes were meant to send a racist message. Intentions dont matter when it comes to terrorizing the public, Schaaf said. It is incumbent on all of us to know the actual history of racial violence, of terrorism, that a noose represents and that we as a city must remove these terrorizing symbols from the public view. The symbolism of the rope hanging in the tree is malicious regardless of intent. Its evil, and it symbolizes hatred, Williams said. Police said several community members came forward during their initial investigation to say the ropes were used for exercise and a man came forward to say he put them up several months ago. The department said it is conducting a full investigation and had notified the FBI. We remind and ask our community to be mindful when using this equipment in a recreational manner. These acts may send an unintended message, the police statement said. We recognize especially at this time, that any ropes on or attached to trees, limbs or other objects can be associated with hate crimes and racial violence.

Is this dude an immigrant or something
I ask because it was a black dude who placed them and you'd have to be next level oblivious to not understand how those could be perceived. Also why are you hanging exercise equipment in a public park --- Roll Tide & Go Irish ... Copied to Clipboard!

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. He also shared video of the swing in use. For once, it checks out. They should be removed because it's gonna fuckin' scare people in these awful times, but no charges should happen. ah right link: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/nooses-oakland-park-exercise-aids-man-71314468 --- formerly evening formerly guide https://youtu.be/Acn5IptKWQU ...

Way to skew the facts and leave out key details, TC:
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Oaklands mayor said five ropes found hanging from trees in a city park are nooses and racially-charged symbols of terror but a resident said they are merely exercise equipment that he put up there months ago. --- He who laughs last thinks slowest. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Enough of a reason to charge the guy with a hate crime. 5 counts for 5 ropes. Take your biggoted, racist *** somewhere else if you're going to defend nooses hanging from trees. ...

What kind of shitty grasp of the English language makes someone equate "no charges should happen in this case" to "black people should be allowed to hang nooses from trees"
