Effigy in Noose Hung from Berkeley's Sather Gate before Protest March

I posted this in GD yesterday but had to post-and-run because I was on my way to the big Black Lives Matter Million March in Oakland.

This is a serious symbolic act, whether it was done by a prankster, a protest provocateur, or a member of the KKK. Sather Gate marks the entrance to the UC Berkeley plaza where the Free Speech Movement started: that gate/plaza is the symbol of student activism and protest in Berkeley. It's also associated with the Civil Rights Movement.

Here's the link the GD post, but I don't think it really matters since no one apparently noticed it:
