A Nassau County employee found an 18-inch noose at a public works garage in South Hempstead yesterday, the third reported in two days on municipal property, police said.
The 6:45 a.m. discovery came on the same day Town of Hempstead officials held a news conference outside Town Hall after two nooses were reported Wednesday in a Hempstead town-owned garage in Roosevelt.
Hours after the most recent noose was found hanging on a chain-link fence, Hempstead officials and black clergy members sang "We Shall Overcome" at the news conference attended by about 150 people.
