[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have been few photos of the noose that was erected in front of the Capitol on January 6. That was incredibly scary, and what a horrible symbol. Who put that up, and are they facing any charges? That has to be threatening and intimidation. I'm assuming it was meant to intimidate Pence? They were chanting "hang Mike Pence" in the video above.

Gawd. I am not fan of Mike Pence, but... I'm speechless. ..[/quote]

It occurs to me that they could get fingerprints and DNA from evidence left behind at the scene.[/quote]

the noose hd a sign attached “this is art” [/quote]

I mean, it was clearly not a functional gallows, but the message is chilling nonetheless.[/quote]

Why couldn’t it be functional?  Looks workable to me.[/quote]

Looks like a slapdash frame to me, with a 4x4 post thrown on top, and a spindly little rope tied once around the post. [b]I’m not even sure there’s enough room for an average sized person to stand up on the platform.[/b] It’s just for show.[/quote]

You would be wrong then.

Here’s the builder and a friend standing on top. Two well-built men. It was made to be functional.

I meant not enough room height-wise...a gallows does not have the noose at chest level. If it was meant to be functional, then they had no clue what they were doing.[/quote]

Don't tell me what is and isn't functional. As long as there's a drop-off point below the noose, the body can hang. It can be an inserted trap door or a free hang in front of the platform.
