Noose found at Stanford University probed as hate crime
Stanford University has launched a hate crime investigation after a noose was found hanging from a tree at a residence hall.
In an email to students and staff, university officials said campus safety authorities immediately “removed the noose and retained it as evidence” after it was discovered around 7:45 p.m. Sunday outside Branner Hall.
Campus police have interviewed students and maintenance workers to try to find out when the noose had been put on display, and identify a potential suspect or suspects.
“We cannot state strongly enough that a noose is a reprehensible symbol of anti-Black racism and violence that will not be tolerated on our campus,” said the email from vice provosts Susie Brubaker-Cole and Patrick Dunkley. “It is the moral responsibility of those with any knowledge of this incident to come forward” so appropriate action can be taken.

Why would a noose need to be hung otherwise?
Please educate me.

Curiously, why would there be rampant "fake" hate crimes, when actual hate crimes continue to be ignored?

Most legit "hate crimes" are just crimes that get the label because, 1) that makes a better headline and 2) the State gets to invoke harsher penalties. Rarely are such events premeditated, and its even less likely there would be taunting or related build up before the event. Two guys get in a fight over, whatever, and are different races --> slap the hate crime label on it and call it a day.
Anything that has a level of fear-based premeditation is likely a 'fake hate crime'. Things like a noose being hung or swastikas spray painted on office walls are done mostly to invoke greater emotional responses in people.
After all, those are powerful symbols driven in peoples heads and as such they automatically create outrage and anger in people. It might takes days, weeks, sometimes months before the truth comes out on whether any of it was true or not. That's a whole lot of time to milk the emotion for personal or political gain.

Remember when that black Nascar driver found what he thought was a noose hanging in his garage and the FBI was called in and Nascar and its people were dragged through the mud? Then it was determined that it was just a rope for the garage door and had been there for weeks?
Classic.
