around a vandalized Black Lives Matter street mural, a rope looped like a noose was left hanging downtown around the July Fourth holiday.Santa Cruz resident La’Sundra McGowan was walking home from the grocery store around 1 p.m. Tuesday when she noticed the rope, tied to a pedestrian walk signal post at the corner of Pacific Avenue and Front Street. It was a busy day downtown, but no one was around her at the moment McGowan realized what she was seeing.
“Honestly, I literally felt like I had been punched in the gut. And then you just kind of feel hollow,” said McGowan when reached Friday to discuss the post, which has since been shared and reposted. “A lot of people were like, why didn’t you take it down? That was literally the farthest thing from my mind. It was just more an emotional response — I wasn’t thinking, ‘I’ve got to get this down.’ I was just gutted.
