Amazon shuts construction site after 7th noose found

Amazon is closing a warehouse construction site in Windsor, Connecticut, until at least next week, after the discovery of a seventh noose at the site. In the meantime, the state's NAACP chapter is demanding that law enforcement step up efforts to find those behind the incidents.

"We are concerned about the workers here," Scot X. Esdaile, president of the Connecticut NAACP, told a televised news conference. A piece of rope with a loop at the end was found hanging over a beam at the site on Wednesday, weeks after the first noose at the site was found and reported on April 27, with five more ropes fashioned as nooses subsequently found.
