I'm just glad it wasn't a false flag incident.

This is not a great pic but it looks like it has the noose’s stack of coiled rope, rather than just a loop with a knot at the top :

i feel like it being attached to the door...where people can use it as a doorpull should have maybe been a hint

Probably... Though hey, no one said symbols of hate can’t be functional! You can intimidate blacks and make it easier to close garage doors at the same time! Please don’t intimidate blacks and make it easier to close garage doors at the same time.

I have no doubt that the garage door pull is tied in a noose. The video shows it was that way last year. Most of the other ropes are hanging down and not looped. Out of 30+ garages, there are a couple of exceptions.
Here’s what I posted in the other thread:
Alright, here’s another picture of the rope in question:
At the time the video was captured, the garage was assigned to Paul Menard. Here’s the video from which the image was captured:
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
I watched the entire video. Garage 19 has a loop, but the rest of the garages have straight ropes.
I have no doubt this garage had its rope tied into a noose. It looks like a noose. I’ve tied nooses myself for Halloween decorations. I know how they work. It would make for a crappy grab loop because they are designed to cinch tight and hold. It was probably done as a bad joke by a bored auto tech.
I doubt it was aimed at Wallace.

welp....all things considered...this is about as happy an ending as the story could have had
tho you make a fair point about a noose being a crappy door pull...
i guess thats still a little bit iffy

Except a noose would make a horrible door pull, since it’s a slip knot. It was meant to be an edgy joke just not directed at Bubba Wallace specifically. I am not saying that the person that tied the knot was referencing lynchings . I don’t know their intent and it is horrible to speculate. I do know that I grew up in the south and a noose has immediate connotations and none of them are good. I knew kids in school that got in trouble, usually a suspension, for making nooses and this was the 80s. I do agree that it’s a victimless crime and nothing really needs to happen, but I don’t think it was an innocent door pull either.

Some things are worth being outraged over, but it’s getting to the point where people are inferring hatred and racism where none exists.

I’ll be honest, with my morbid sense of humor, absent the kind of racially charged atmosphere we are in now, I might as easily been the guy who tied it if I’d worked there.

A noose in the south is akin to a Nazi flag in Israel, folks know what that means immediately and there ain’t no question.

When we were kids learning how to tie knots, we used to practice making nooses. Not all the time, but occasionally. A noose isn’t that far removed from a fisherman’s knot which we tied much more frequently because, well, fishing . The big difference was the material, the size of the knot, and the way the end is looped and tucked under . After looking at the following reference, it’s possible that the loop in the garage rope is a surgeon’s loop. That would produce something similar to a noose which isn’t a slip knot and couldn’t tighten. https://www.mossyoak.com/our-obsession/blogs/fishing/five-knots-every-fisherman-should-know

Yes, it makes no sense that there was a tightening noose for months and nobody got annoyed by it and untied it .

Yes, because NASCAR has no hatred or racism, it, like all motor racing has been opening and welcoming of POC for years now. Those guys with the confederate flags outside the event were just there by accident.
When you know that your sport has a history of having racists in it and as fans of it, only then you do move that fast to investigate a pull rope on a garage door fashioned like a noose. They wouldn’t outrage over it if it wasn’t more likely to be true than false in the case of NASCAR.
What I’m trying to say is Outrage & Reaction are directly proportional to how racist the (sport, in this case) has been in the past. Which, is very.

Given that practically every facet of human history is filled with racial discrimination , that’s just an excuse to jump to conclusions with anything and everything.

... Yea, that’s the fucking point, you get to stop jumping to conclusions when racism is no longer a part of practically every facet of recent human history.

I taught myself a hangman’s noose for Halloween purposes.
What you surmise makes sense. A loop like that would make a good handle for the purpose.
