Neighbors voiced criticism of the display, with one Black neighbor saying he approached Mealy directly to object. Another neighbor, Kenneth Jeter, 21, said while he respects voicing opinions, the noose added to the sign made it "something different" and suggested a sign alone would have been acceptable.
“Like if you had just put the sign up, that's fine. But having the sign in place with the noose and all, that's something different.”
