8. Since I was behind a truck on the freeway with powercord nooses that were
very obviously a symbol, only a few months ago, I'm not surprised the report mentions this:

"The Justice Department says it is actively investigating a number of noose incidents at schools, work places and neighborhoods around the country. It says "a noose is a powerful symbol of hate and racially motivated violence" recalling the days of lynchings of blacks and that it can constitute a federal civil rights offense under some circumstances."
