Granted, it was not a noose up to Roy Bean's standards, but don't let that fool you. I could make a noose that looks exactly like that one, which would slip closed under the weight of someone's body, and choke them to death. Did you see the noose that Epstein used? You wouldn't believe that one would work, either. Would you be willing to test it if I was up there with you, offering to push you off the scaffold after you put your head into it?

CJ, zoom in on the noose in this pic. It looks entirely functional to me. It's a braided line, at least 1/2" in diameter. That line would have a tensile strength of about 7500 lbs It's tied to the beam above, you can see it comes down from the beam, makes the loop, then wraps around itself, and is secured with a hitch at the upper end of the wraps. If weight were applied to the inside of that noose, it looks like it would slip shut, just as intended. It would definitely do the job.

Here's another one Pro-Trump protesters gather in front of the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump supporters gathered in the nation’s capital to protest the ratification of President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory over President Trump in the 2020 election. A pro-Trump mob later stormed the Capitol, breaking windows and clashing with police officers. Five people died as a result. Photo by Brent Stirton \| Getty Images
