Gay rights group Equality California found a noose Thursday hung outside its Santa Anna office, the Orange County Register reported.
Police responding to a call from the group trivialized the incident, dismissing the noose as a string on the door and saying that sometime you have to live with being a victim.
The black colored noose "was shocking," said Mel Distel, the phone-bank trainer who found the noose and called the police. "It struck me as something that could escalate, something that was definitely meant to be hurtful."
