“It’s unfortunate that a genuine gesture of just wanting to have a good time got misinterpreted into something so heinous.”

The Associated Press

The Police Department provided five photographs of trees, some of which showed knotted ropes and one that appeared to have a piece of plastic pipe attached to a rope, hanging from tree limbs.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.

Nooses have been associated with the lynching of black people and used as symbols to taunt or terrorize African Americans.

Well wasn't the timing just great, people were hanging from trees and this is just a coincidence, smh !

Now if he were white he’d be sitting in prison for a hate crime. Intentions/facts/truth be damned

It’s unfortunate that our history as a country makes that assumption unavoidable.

Something similar happened in New York but it was determined to be rope that had fallen off of scaffolding from a nearby construction site into a tree. People really do need to calm down a bit.

I'm going to say based on the demographics for those of us who live in CA. This is another Jussie Smollet moment. No one believes white people hung a noose from trees in Oakland. Even less believable than if they had in LBC/CMPTN Does not add up the those of us who know here.
