That's a fucking noose..

[AZ8theist]

That's a fucking noose. Anti American shit-stains Faux News and the odious NY Post put the word "noose" in quotes, as if it was "alleged". Sorry, but that ain't no "garage pull", that's a FUCKING NOOSE.

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. Damn straight. nt

[TheBlackAdder]

30. It's RONCO's Pull-O-Noose! It's a Pull. It's a Noose. It's a Pull and a Noose in one! 😑

.

Garage Pull my ass!

.

[applegrove]

2. My thoughts too.

[2naSalit]

3. It is too. ...nt

[Phoenix61]

4. I wonder how they decided it's been there

since 2019. Seems like if it was all innocent whoever put it there would step forward.

[PTWB]

24. I read that it was put there in 2019, before Wallace was assigned that stall, and that other stalls

had the same garage pull fashioned in the noose shape. I am slightly skeptical of those claims, but they say it is backed up by long term video surveillance evidence.

[Phoenix61]

28. There were other rope garage pulls but that

was the only noose. Wonder who did the garage assignments.

[ProfessorGAC]

36. Not Correct

NASCAR reviewed all track garages they use.
1,684 garages.
11 had ropes with knots at the end. Less than 1 in every 150 garages.
ONE had a knot that looked like a noose.
So, 9% of 0.65%.
Not exactly a typical finding.

5. If it's not a noose...

I sure as hell would like to know what it “supposedly” is.

[Hoyt]

6. Definitely a noose. But supposedly it was put there 6 months ago as

a garage door pull, so its intent is questionable.

With that said, NASCAR fans and drivers, with a few exceptions, are deplorable.

[AZ8theist]

7. I guess I'm an exception then...

As a northern born middle class intelligent white guy, I don't fit the hillbilly mold. However, growing up I enjoyed fast cars, and NASCAR appealed to me. I've lost interest in the last few years, but still like the smell of burning rubber and unspent gasoline. The "gearhead" in me. However, I NEVER understood the redneck bullshit that accompanied the sport.
Fuck the Confederacy. Treasonous, rebellious insurrection. Fucking TRAITORS, and all of those that support them and glorify them.

[dewsgirl]

9. +1000

[Hoyt]

12. I liked it too, until I saw what comprises 90% of the fans. I don't like music,

or anything else, where confederate flags are accepted, or mourned with the recent NASCAR efforts.

[Funtatlaguy]

8. I've never seen a garage door pull like that. It's a noose.

[Corgigal]

10. Then the FBI

needs to investigate the maker of the garage door “pull”, because that took a lot of work. Special kind of talent.

[Hoyt]

13. I hear you, but a hangman's knot is not that uncommon. I get it's

association with lynchings and the typical NASCAR fan.

[Corgigal]

15. Can I go purchase it,

Made like that at say, ACE hardware? Doesn’t look simple to me. Looks intentional, took some time. However, I’ve never attempted to make that either.

[Ellipsis]

19. It's not a difficult knot to make...

Though, by default it's not an ideal garage pull since it's designed to tighten.

They could have just made a simple bowline.

It strikes me as a message.

[Hoyt]

20. Well, you can check this link or look up "noose in suicides," if really interested.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangman%27s_knot

Clearly, it’s totally different when found in racist’s possessions or used to intimidate Blacks, Hispanics, Gays, and other minorities.

[Corgigal]

21. Well, my husband

just made one for me. He was taught by his agencies evidence guys. In case they were working a suicide. They needed to understand the difference between a hanging and a “hanging”.

So, I guess it’s not that hard, but he was taught.

[ToxMarz]

27. The intent seems pretty clear

It's there to symbolize racism and intimidation. There's no reason or need to have a garage door pull fashioned in that manner other than to be symbolic (if also functional, maybe that's for plausible deniability) . Like a lighter that looks like a gun, or car freshener shaped like a pine tree. It's on purpose not coincidence.

[bullwinkle428]

11. Piece of shit Tucker Carlson is trying to make Bubba Wallace the villain/manipulator

of this story. Of course, he completely fails to tell his Mensa audience that Bubba was not the one who originally discovered the noose in the first place. One of his crew members saw it, let NASCAR officials knew what he saw, and NASCAR took it from there.

[live love laugh]

23. They're saying Wallace is the same as Smollett on the dark side. nt

[mfcorey1]

35. It was shown to him. He is not the one who discovered it.

[Stallion]

14. If Its Not-The Person Who Tied It Sure Knows How to Tie a Noose

[spanone]

16. Duh!

No doubt about it.

[former9thward]

17. So how did they know a black driver would be randomly assigned the garage months later?

What a CT.

[soothsayer]

18. Doesn't look like old rope, either

Very clean and unfaded in this pic

[live love laugh]

22. Duh. It matters not when it got there. Only that it is there. nt

[Wawannabe]

25. It is a noose

And if it’s in every stall, then is it a giant indicator of the white supremacy in NASCAR.

It is a noose. THAT IS ALL.

[mountain grammy]

26. Yep, that's a noose

[Hekate]

29. Somebody thought they were being sooo clever

Yea, it is a noose.

[gldstwmn]

31. Yup it sure is.

[drray23]

32. pisses me off.

and I was schooled by some on DU who immediatly bought into the bullshit that it was just a door pull, had been there before etc...
Now there is a pic that clearly shows that it was definitely tied as a noose. It does not matter if it was placed before Bubba got the stall. The fact its even there is a pretty damming indictment on the type of people who are in NASCAR.

[electric_blue68]

33. Wow - I hadn't actually seen it till now!

Woah - that is definitely a noose! Yikes!

[marie999]

34. Any one who uses that as a door pull is going to get one nasty rope burn or break a few fingers.

A noose is a slip knot. And that rope looks mighty clean for being hanging in a garage for 8 months.
