Work was suspended for the second time in as many weeks after another noose - the eighth in a month - was discovered at an Amazon warehouse under construction in northern Connecticut.
The noose was found at the Windsor site on Wednesday, halting operations one day after work had resumed from an earlier shutdown. The discovery occurred after security was upgraded and a few hours before NAACP representatives arrived to interview workers about previous incidents. This is ridiculous, Scot X Esdaile, president of the Connecticut NAACP, told The Washington Post after a noose made of red rope was found Wednesday among yellow electrical cables. We told them to take this seriously, and they re trying to water it down. This is pretty bad.

D&R Greenway Land Trust announces the permanent preservation of its 316th property since its 1989 founding, less than a half mile from where the land trust first purchased land for preservation. This multigenerational half acre, made up of scenic woodland along Hopewell-Wertsville Road, is the second parcel of land preserved by the Marino family with D&R Greenway. Donated by the Marino siblings, preservation of this roadside woodland ensures continuation of the rural character of the area.
During its first decade, the Marino family was among the earliest preservationists with D&R Greenway. Their initial preserved property contributed to the core of the land trust’s Sourlands Ecosystem Preserve that now protects over 3,000 acres within New Jersey’s largest contiguous forest.
The incidents are being investigated as potential hate crimes, as hanging ropes tied into loops are typically viewed as a violent threat against Black Americans.
Construction has again been shut down at an Amazon facility in Windsor to allow the Federal Bureau of Investigation to continue its investigation after another.
