Amazon construction site shut down again Wednesday after eighth noose was found; FBI, Connecticut police investigating Christine Dempsey, Hartford Courant
For the eighth time since late April a noose has been discovered on the massive construction site for a new Amazon warehouse in Windsor.
The project was shut down out of concern for peoples’ safety, Scot X. Esdaile, president of the Connecticut NAACP, said late Wednesday morning.
“It’s a direct threat on your life,” Esdaile said. “This is a serious, white supremacist message being sent to our entire community. It’s sick. It’s unacceptable. We demand better.”
Local police, the FBI and state police are investigating, but there have been no arrests. Amazon is offering a $100,000 reward that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible.
