Californians over the last week have found and reported three nooses in South Lake Tahoe, Santa Clarita and Sonoma.
In Santa Clarita, Christian Nelson came across a noose-like rope as he walked Monday evening. His mother, Kelly Bruno Nelson, shared images of it on Facebook. The next morning, Christian Nelson cut it down.
“Was it actually a noose? No, it wasn’t. But it symbolized what it symbolized, and there’s absolutely no reason for it to be there,” said Kelly Bruno Nelson, expressing frustration with the comments. Kelly Bruno Nelson said the tree stood off the beaten path and that she didn’t believe someone firmly fixed the looped rope there to play.“It’s not a place where kids would go, or where anyone would hang a swing,” she said. Her son saw empty alcoholic beverage cans around the tree, she added.
