It is all about context, and we seem to be really sensitive right now. If the noose was just part of a pulley and had an innocent reason to be there, I am fine with it. Should we be banning types of knots? Is that what you are getting at?
I have tied plenty of noose knots over the years, never once thought of racism, but did think of hangman knots. I just read the wiki on the noose and it mentioned racism, if used differently it could be a symbol of hate.
If some idiot added nooses to make some sort of racist statement, he is an idiot.

No, I'm not sure why you are making that leap when I have never said that.
Tying a noose on the pulley and leaving it when you know the garages are shared units was a bad choice. Simple as that.
