A pair of hangman's nooses was found dangling from a forklift in a Long Island public works garage last Wednesday.

Daily News reported police are investigating the incident as a possible hate crime.

The find is the latest in a spate of nooses that have appeared in the area in the past few weeks.

On October 11, a noose was discovered hanging from a streetlight in front of a post office near Ground Zero.

Nooses are a symbol of racist lynchings in America's old South.

A trip down memory lane...

It’s the year 2000. You’re in front of a boxy beige desktop waiting for the screeching ramblings of your dial-up to reach its finale. You go to Yahoo!, MSN, or maybe AOL, and start the mind-numbing process of finding your very specific needle in the digital haystack. And with web pages loading one image at a time, patience isn’t just a virtue – it’s a requirement!

As clumsy as this early iteration seems now, this technology was the great enabler that allowed Forkliftaction to connect to the industry across the globe.

To everyone who has connected with Forkliftaction in the past 25 years, thank you for your contribution to our success! We feel deeply touched by your words of encouragement.
