Stanford University is looking into reports of a noose found hanging near a campus residence -- which could become a hate crime investigation

Over the weekend, Stanford Department of Public Safety deputies found a white rope, about three feet long, suspended from a tall bush, according to a statement released by the California university Tuesday.The noose was found near a residence for summer students.

The incident is currently being investigated as a"suspicious circumstance," according to the statement, but if more evidence is found, it may be re-classified as a hate crime. "We feel it is important to state that a noose is recognized as a symbol of violence and racism directed against African American peoples. Such a symbol has no place on our campus," the university said.Read MoreA student visiting the campus took pictures and video of the rope.

A noose could be but is not always related to a hate crime, it’s was used as a form of execution for criminals, it’s is also used for suicides, and unfortunaly it’s is the symbol of the biggest made lynching is the history of the USA of Italian immigrants.

How’s the Jesse smollet hate investigating going?

No doubt a democrat.

Well if prior stunts are any indicator, we're likely to find a liberal looking to create drama. File this one away and see how it ages...

Could? I would say it certainly does...just saying

Check Jussie’s travel itinerary.

Another Smollett hoax?

Ahh, symbols of hate rear their ugly heads. Just what we needed.

Sounds like another hoax. I think it’s more likely that a leftist put it there. Let’s see though.

Trump had that put there!!!!!!!

Where's Jussie Smollett?

I heard Jussie Smollett was seen in the area

So now we are at the place in this country that it’s against the law to tie a knot in a rope. And here I thought the dumbest law was putting people in jail for growing a plant.

Lol more liberal hoaxes. After the first few dozen you can spot them a mile away.

Smollet at it again

Isn't it freedom of expression even though it shitty as hell, where is the crime?

Jussie Smollett is hanging around Stanford? Northern Cali must be MAGA country. 😂

2019 rope on a tree is a crime. 😂

Folks, U C the story worth or wedge worth? FoxNews WSJ dcexaminer MSNBC

While abhorrent, isn't this protected by the first Amendment?

Why Nothing hanging in it----

J. S. Again? I hope no.

Oh, Jessie...

It is almost certainly a HateHoax. When will supposedly responsible media stop playing into a ridiculous narrative where nooses are hanging about at random spots to threaten or use against hapless victims. It is ostentatious rubbish in virtually every instance. MrAndyNgo

Wolf wolf wolf

Come on we all know it was some crazy liberal trying to divide the country because they cant get their own way sucks .

Such cowards...

Contact Jessie on that one

only in america....shameful what that country has become

How On earth is this Allowed to happen in 2019? We must condemn Xenophobia and racism like this

Is Smollet on tour? Seems an odd promotional stunt.

Horrible!!!!!! Nasty!! Sloppy!!! Noose!!! Bad wraps!! Looks like a liberals work!!

Another hoax crime, I'm sure.

Almost certainly a minority student activist hung it looking to show how racists are ‘emboldened’ by Trump.

With so much fees can a camera not capture stunted stunt of Stanford? Connect Mahesh Bhatt Kirticorp Pranam Love Life Labs Mentor TechBusipreneur

If I had to place a bet on this, I would bet it was some crazy lefty who put it there.

Anyone seen Jessie Smollett lately?

'... a noose is recognized as a symbol of violence and racism directed against African American peoples.' Are you sure political correctness hasn't wrecked common sense? A noose is a symbol for hanging. A death threat. But trust me, more white people died by it than blacks.

Asked if this may be a sign of racism, the Republican Party defended the noose, suggested it was actually be a jump rope, and called the tree that the noose was hanging from an un-American, racist socialist. MAGA

those damn Nigerians at it again!!! sry CNN y'all pulled this card so many times... ppl dont even notice anymore. and that's a the true injustice to real victims. but sure keep blaming Trump and half the country. LOSERS FAKENEWS RACEBAITING

Odds are 1 to 10,000 that this is hoax by some liberals. Any takers 😃?

It’s always a hoax (Smollett)

Not jumping to conclusions....Jussy Smollett may have placed it there! 😂😂😎

The Bolsheviks made a noose for the White Race.

This will end up being a hoax and never corrected as such by CNN

Where is Jussie?

Must be that Palo Alto branch of the KKK😂😂

Bc some lefty put it there?

Seriously so every time a kid hangs a rope in a bush or tree it’s a hate crime investigation Boy the kids are working the police like a a rented mule .

Anyone seen Jusse Smollet?

Another hoax.

Hoax incoming.

jussie

Odds on this is another hoax.

Is there a law against assisted suicide?

Acts 24:15. All the victims will be back, and the purportrators will face the Judgement. Soon!

Jussie back at it

Was Jussie Smollet seen in the area?

Another example of a black person or a liberal trying to divide the country based on race—ie JussieSmollett 🧐

I look forward to the non white 'suspect' being found and roundly mocked.

Still admitting dumbasses into Stanford I see.

The noose is intended for the White Race.

Or a cry for help?

Hoax

This is national news? Die old media.

Here we go, this is why we need to put a muzzle on the comrade in Chief and the GOP need to address their bases behavior in the communities reacting to the comrades comments

what if someone wanted to hang themselves with it?i think sometimes things are blown out of proportion.

Maybe stop interviewing Nazis on your platform and normalizing evil

Ya might want to interview Jussie Smollett. 😢

Somehow it will be Trumps fault

Did Trump hang it

Where was jusse?

CNN CIVILUNREST

Trumps proud public racism encourages this immoral behavior

Americans are such a disgusting people.

This is satire right?

aka DNC bullhorn at it again ....

Oh NO 🤦🏽‍♀️. Here we go again ..... the NOOSE.

Unless someone was hanging from it then it doesn't really need any attention or waste police resources over it

'Make America White Again'

Jussie Smollett strikes again. 😂

That’s not racist. I’m sure that’s what they’ll say.

Where is the hateful idiot/perpetrator who committed this HATE CRIME-hiding behind the trees?

Is Trump making the US an unsafe country for many Americans?

Hoaxy McHoax Face

Rex Tillerson was accurate...'tRUMP IS A MORON.' and so is the perpetrator of this HATE CRIME!

tRUMP-KING OF LIES

tRUMP and the SELF INTEREST REPUBLICAN CONCENTRATION CAMP. NO LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE PAST...

HATE MONGERS are RESPONSIBLE

Stanford is MAGA country. 😂 Another Hoax!

I wouldn’t be surprised if cnn was the one that put the noose up themselves. After watching the race baiting they where trying to force us to believe yesterday, it would fit right into there plan to divide the country.

does it show they hate Cowboys when I see a noose I think of Cowboys

I wouldn’t be surprised if CNN didn’t put the noose up themselves. After what I seen on there network yesterday, it wouldn’t surprise me.

This is just sick and wrong...

There’s so much hate in our country right now, truly scary times.

Maybe it’s time we as Americans realize something very quickly. Republicans and Democrats, blacks, whites and all others. Look at this stat for the number of Americans who died in the civil war. Roughly 2% of America population perished in that war. Do we want another?

It's a rope in a tree, how can it possibly be a hate crime?.. smfh

in todays political climate that appears to be a hate crime, but what if it was a failed suicide attempt? , RedWasHere

Anyone look for a cowboy with very bad lasso skills?

Stuff like this is designed to intimidate people. I hope they are found and punished.

So now just a noose hanging from a tree is a hate crime.... Maybe someone was going to hang themself in a suicide and changed their mind... Always a race issue nowadays

😟

Jussie Smollet at it again

Right on cue. GOP and realDonaldTrump made their point Crystal clear. Their Maga sheep are falling right in line. Funny how tweets have consequences... and so does silence.
