Firehouse Noose Incident A Hoax, Black Fireman Responsible

Well looky here. I would like to know why he is not facing criminal charges. If the firefighter was white, do you think he would be let off the hook. I.Think.Not.

A firefighter who reported finding a knotted rope and a threatening note with a drawing of a noose in an East Baltimore station house last month had placed the items there himself, city officials said yesterday. The man was suspended last week for performance-related issues and will likely face additional punishment, fire officials said. Sterling Clifford, a spokesman for the Police Department and for Mayor Sheila Dixon, said the man admitted to the hoax and will not face criminal charges.

Just another example of the race card.
