A noose in Murfreesboro. Local police notified the F.B.I to the incident as a possible hate crime.
“My wife and I were in the kitchen having breakfast, and I looked up and I noticed something hanging from my tree, and I was like, you know, what’s that? And I came out here and my mouth dropped. That’s a damn noose!” said the man, who did not want to be identified.
The 28-year-old African American decided to leave the noose in his yard for a little while so people would know.
“If it had been back in the day, we would have handled it a different way, but as I’ve grown to be a man there’s no right to doing wrong to other people because of their ignorance,” he said. “As my parents told me, if you let one person bring you down you are as weak as they are.”
