Nooses Found Hanging From Forklift On Long Island
One Said To Be Hanging Around Doll Painted Black

NEW YORK (CBS) ― Hempstead Town Supervisor Kate Murray and Councilwoman Dorothy Goosby said that two nooses were left dangling from a forklift at the town's highway yard in Roosevelt, Long Island.

One of the nooses was apparently hanging around the neck of a doll that was painted black.

No other details of the incident were immediately available to CBS 2 HD News, however Murray and Goosby will provide further details at a news conference on Wednesday afternoon.

They will detail the actions they have taken and investigations that have commenced in response to the incident.

The latest discovery is the latest in a string of racial incidents that have jarred New York City in recent weeks.

Last week, there was a disturbing discovery near Ground Zero in Manhattan, where a noose was found hanging from a lamppost at the Church Street Post Office.

Postal workers in a second floor office at Church Street noticed the noose Thursday afternoon.

Building managers removed the noose and turned it over to the NYPD's hate crimes unit for investigation.

home to those that escape the city when it became too "dark" for them.

Doesn't mean it's not one big white flight suburban tract.

God this F***ing Administration is responsible for some really ugly things in our country... Yes, I would blame this on them as well for causing the mood that supports this kind of shit.

Open racism became unpopular, not PC, but racism was still there. This administration has made racism acceptable in all its glory. Heaven help us all.

in fact, it's never left! Even though we have passed laws it doens't change the way people think. Most racism is learned behavior and as such, will be around for a long,long time.........

Copycats are just....empty. Ugh. Monkey see malice.

There have been too many of these incidents *recently,* in light of what happened in Jena.

followers to hang nooses, etc. and report back to them. I saw this a couple of days after the Sept 20 March in Jena.
I didn't bookmark it and I can't seem to find it again.

can't that forum be shut down completely?

and phone numbers of the Jena6 families as well as Sharpton's (including his Mother), Jackson and MLK III. They gave out the vital info and urged their followers to 'do the right thing'.

...almost without fail.


Immigration, Jena, the Middle East, gay rights - it's the perfect cocktail to draw white supremacists out of the sewers.

Sickening. Just sickening.

contrary to popular belief, the klan doesn't only exist in the south.

big time racists on the Island.
