ONN – Hangman Noose Found At Oakland Lake Merritt By Owner Of Feelmore Adult, Posts On Twitter
The Twitter account that belongs to the owner of Feelmore Adult, the sex shop at 17th and Telegraph in Downtown Oakland, posted a Twitter video that claimed to show a hangman noose placed on a tree near a walk-path in Lake Merritt Park. What’s not clear is exactly when the video was made and uploaded, or if Feelmore Adult called the Oakland Police.
I put in a call to the shop phone number of Feelmore Adult, but due to the lateness of the hour, did not receive a return phone call or text.
What is known is word of the hangman noose is spreading. It’s also known that a hangman’s noose is a universal sign of anti-black racism, and implies violence that would be done to someone black. It’s also known that, as of now, the hangman’s noose is not officially illegal in Oakland. It should be. The hangman noose is illegal to display in Virginia, New York and Connecticut – why not Oakland?
The other question is how did it get there at Lake Merritt?
Stay tuned.
Note from Zennie62Media and Oakland News Now: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
