    From the other thread...

    Noose found in Bubba Wallace’s garage was garage pull, had been there since 2019, officials say

    A rope found in the garage stall of Black driver Bubba Wallace at the NASCAR race Sunday was a garage door pull, not a noose, and had been there since 2019, federal authorities and NASCAR said Tuesday.

    Northern District of Alabama U.S. Attorney Jay Town on Monday announced his office had launched an investigation along with the FBI and the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division. Town said they were looking to see whether there are violations of federal law. No federal crime was committed, his office said.

    Town and FBI Special Agent in Charge Johnnie Sharp Jr. on Tuesday released this statement about the probe: “On Monday, fifteen FBI special agents conducted numerous interviews regarding the situation at Talladega Superspeedway. After a thorough review of the facts and evidence surrounding this event, we have concluded that no federal crime was committed.

    The FBI learned that garage number 4, where the noose was found, was assigned to Bubba Wallace last week. The investigation also revealed evidence, including authentic video confirmed by NASCAR, that the noose found in garage number 4 was in that garage as early as October 2019. Although the noose is now known to have been in garage number 4 in 2019, nobody could have known Mr. Wallace would be assigned to garage number 4 last week.

    The decision not to pursue federal charges is proper after reviewing all available facts and all applicable federal laws. We offer our thanks to NASCAR, Mr. Wallace, and everyone who cooperated with this investigation.”

    NASCAR released this statement: “The FBI has completed its investigation at Talladega Superspeedway and determined that Bubba Wallace was not the victim of a hate crime. The FBI report concludes, and photographic evidence confirms, that the garage door pull rope fashioned like a noose had been positioned there since as early as last fall. This was obviously well before the 43 team’s arrival and garage assignment. We appreciate the FBI’s quick and thorough investigation and are thankful to learn that this was not an intentional, racist act against Bubba. We remain steadfast in our commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all who love racing.”

  4. Maybe they will all go out and burn a few neighborhoods anyway to protest the fact that it could have been a noose. Just as sort of a general tonic to remind everyone that Trump supporters did not put a noose there, but they could have.

    Congress must pass laws banning the use of rope.

    Check this out: Whites must wear masks, non-Whites exempted in Oregon county:

  6. Al Sharpton had his JUSTICE FOR TAWANA BRAWLEY tee shirt and bellbottoms on. Al cranked up and ready to go. Nothing like a good victim story- fake or not fake, he treats them the same- to get his pineal gland stimulated.

    Frigging Al. An action figure.

    "If we don't hear something soon, NASCAR can expect a visit from me -- and I won't be coming to drive a car," Sharpton tells TMZ Sports

    It is too late. It does not matter what the history of this "rope-pull" is. Thanks to social media, it is now, and forever shall be, a noose to indicate that someone knew a black NASCAR driver would use that garage in the future, and so was pre-meditated racism, and so now NASCAR must be banned. It has ties to the south, which is inherently racist.

  8. Exactly. The everything is racist narrative is the rule of the day and the leftist mob will believe this to have been a noose forevermore. Hey, they still think Al Gore won the presidency, so...

    y'all are failing to realise NASCAR is who reported it.

  10. So all this shit because a door pull had a loop in it?

    I knew my instinct was to reserve judgment on this initially since it smelled funny...
