Black Penn State profs report ‘noose’ behind house; ends up being part of neighbor’s swing set

Earlier this week, a pair of black Penn State University professors reported a “noose” in a tree behind their house.

As reported by the PSU student newspaper Daily Collegian, the professors said the incident was “deeply distressing to them and their family.”

The Centre Daily Times notes the profs believed the “noose” was “deliberately placed [on the tree] to harass them.”

[...]

Alas, according to the professors’ neighbor who was interviewed by police, the “noose” actually was part of a swing set. The neighbors’ kid told police he merely had thrown the rope “into the woods.”

Patton Police Chief Tyler Jolley concluded there was “no malice” involved. The department added “no kind of crime [was] committed at all” and that the rope just “happened” to fall on the tree.

Have any of the alleged hate-crime nooses turned out to be actual nooses?
