Are these people idiots? I don't even see a loop of wire. Closest thing up there is the SHACKLE they hung so that the flag would have a backing in order to fly properly.

Are loops of rope and wire now banned from the planet? I hope the construction company told the NAACP to go fuck themselves. They do not give out orders to the world.

The shackle looks like a horse shoe, must be rustlers around--Git a rope.

For all the non-riggers out there it's called a clevis.

.

Actually it is a shackle.

Clevis​

Usually a U-shaped piece of iron or steel with holes at each end so that a pin could go through them. A clevis was used to connect two items, one with a ring at the end, and one that would fit in the U and had a hole in it for the pin to go through. There were also a variety of special-purpose clevises like the cross-link clevis shown on the right of the illustration. See also Plow clevis.

Guys, you are BOTH right. A shackle is a broad term of couplers, a Clevis is just a particular kind within the shackle family.

Kind of strange that the definition on difference.com defines a shackle as being secured by a clevis pin. Sounds like we both might be right. A shackle, also known as a gyve, is a U-shaped piece of metal secured with a clevis pin
