A ‘noose’ found last month at the University of Michigan Medical School turns out to have been a practice knot used in fishing after an employee came forward to ‘clear the air,’ according to MLive.
An investigation by UM’s Division of Public Safety and Security concluded the spool rope used for medical procedures was being used by a person on a break to practice tying a “Uni Knot,” which is a type of knot used for fishing. After the spool was returned to the storage area, the knot was still in place and discovered the following day by an employee. –MLive
The ‘noose’ was fashioned out of a rope typically used for traction following surgical procedures, according to DPSS Director of Strategic Communications Heather Young, who noted that the loose end of the rope was tied in the knot while still connected to the spool.
Not one to hedge his language amid an ongoing investigation, UM Medical School Dean Marschall Runge said in an employee email following the June 20 discovery of the ‘noose’: “Yesterday, in one of our hospitals, a noose — a symbol of hate and discrimination — was found at the work station of two of our employees,” adding “We have taken immediate action to have this investigated as both an act of discrimination and a criminal act of ethnic intimidation. This act of hate violates all of the values that we hold dear and will not be tolerated.”
‘It was the friends we made along the way…’
Without acknowledging that he participated in ‘sewing racial discord’ with false assumptions, Runge now says that while the incident has affected the entire community, it united people in their hatred of hate (and hate-shaped fishing knots?).
“Our community came together to support each other, reaffirmed our stance against hate, and began having open dialogues about this incident and ways to make our community more inclusive,” he said in a follow-up email.
“We continue to stand strong as we make it clear to all that this organization — its leaders, faculty, staff and learners — fiercely values and defends equality, inclusiveness, respect and dignity for all, and the elimination of discrimination and intimidation in all forms.”
In short, the whole noose incident managed to bring the community together. And in case you’re interested in learning the Uni Knot, see below:

THE END
A knot, see!

I helped the son of a friend of ours move into an off campus apartment near Kennesaw State University NW of Atlanta. He had an upstairs apartment, but unbeknownst to us, there was NO ELEVATOR in the building. On several occasions during the very hot move (no A/C in the public areas and August in Hotlanta), I heard several fathers commenting that it might be easier to use a rope and just pull the stuff up to the balcony.
Cut to several months later and there is a story on the local news about cries of “racism” at this very complex. Apparently someone noticed a rope on one of the balconies (no noose mind you, just a rope) and demanded that racism investigations begin. As with the great journalistic reporting that we get, not a bit of information was provided about the purpose of the rope on the balcony. I can guarantee that it was there to shorten the misery when bringing up grocery bags, etc. from the parking lot. Sometimes a rope is just a rope. And sometimes, when all you are holding are race cards, that is all you have to play.

Looks like the knot charts we were taught from as a rigger , it is handy knowledge to have . We learned a proper knot secured things safely and did not render the line useless for other uses later on . I can see how a leftist shit for brains may confuse useful and potential life saving knowledge as fearful especially if the loop resembling a noose was tied to yank his ass out of the drink on a MOB drill (man overboard) perhaps his politically correct choice would be to drown . Crabs gotta eat too !
Just finished reading “Civil War 2” by Thomas Chittum, recommended by someone on here. It was worthwhile, so thanks for the recommendation. Book was written sometime in the mid ’90s and has all sorts of predictions and things to watch out for- stuff exactly like this bullshit non-noose being blown out of proportions. We are well past the tipping point.
How ridiculous. As a fisherman (oops, I mean fisherperson) you live and die by knots. And I practice still, and rope is best for illustration/demonstration. At least no gender violations were violated. Like a (Duke of) Windsor knot. You know, uni…
“In olden times years ago, when you put a man in prison behind the bars in a jailhouse, if you had fifteen or twenty-five or thirty dollars you could save him from the gallows pole ’cause they gonna hang him if you don’t bring up a little money. Everybody would come to the jailhouse and boy would ran upside the jail; he was married, too. As for who brang him something, lot of comfort, here comes his mother.”

If you are more visual, watch this performance with Plant and Page.
That’s a great song of theirs. Wore that record out in High School. It was still kinda new then. Ha.
The real fear is whitey ain’t coming to get you but whitey is coming to leave you.
A white bird escaping a cage should be the trigger meme.
Hail to the imbeciles!
When your view of the world is through racist colored glasses only, you often are blinded by truth.
