    Probably has to do with the countless videos of police doing unsavory things around the same time, this Nascar driver was virtually unknown to anyone outside of it to this point. As far as I know not any bad information out there about him yet so views of him are mostly positive.

    So both (Nascar and the cops lieutenant) said they (the driver and the 3 cops) were victims of crimes when they were not.

    *Nascar prez already had out he was going to ban whoever did it and other things,,, he was out for blood too (didn't seem to do much till calling in the FBI right away not even checking around it seems)

    This is not looking too much better, just from what I've seen online on peoples take on it.

    *IMO kind of dumb to spread it over the news before it's even looked into, if it was malice gives people a chance to cover themselves, or if it is wrong they look dumb.

    Yet you're not taking into Context what Crimes and Accusations were made in those cases.
    A Fetus is not a person under the 14th amendment.

    Christians are Forced Birth Fascists against Human Rights who indoctrinate and groom children. Prove me wrong.

    They did the right thing the people going crazy over this already had their minds made up, the Nascar fan base are just solidifying their inbred racist stereotypes.

    One that someone could be trying to poison them (killing them) and one someone placing a "noose" (something used to kill people).

    Granted if the persons pointed at were guilty the punishments may have been different *but seeing as the cops were not deathly ill there was no danger of anyone getting sent up the river just by an over zealous supervisor, where as the noose even if it someone was innocent (harder to prove unlike the cops where you would have 3 cops in the hospital with stomach pumps hooked up), the person could lose their jobs and a good part of their life so I guess the false noose one could be worse going off both are false.

    but they are closer alike than they are apart from each other.

    I'm guessing a lot of people are going to take their leave of them just for that anyway (I'm not a NASCAR fan but I don't see a lot of the people that watch it as mostly an enlighten bunch, but I could be wrong)

    FBI said it was a noose. Why do you not want to call the noose a noose?

It keeps advertising happy that's the main goal.

    Advertising works best when you have the audience, while I'm sure they hope this will open up for more people to watch, I just don't think (all opinion on my part) people that are that strongly against the flag, that it would keep them away, would care to watch NASCAR anyway. But IDk maybe they did some major surveys or research, not sure?

    Yea, sure. That totally looks like the thing that will fit over somebodies thumb in the other photos. A great and valid comparison that really adds to this reasonable debate.

    I haven't followed all the of the developments and conversations on this issue, and the event is horrible - the noose. But random and totally fucked up timing/"what-are-the-odds" shit like this happens. It's odd that it was a noose, but it seems like just horrific randomness that got Bubba into that particular garage.

    Money talks, unfortunately.

    Company's only care about profit, but that's not any new revelation.

    We have a literal picture of it.
    Why didn’t anyone report it last year?

    Garage door openers = racist
    Cars making right hand turns = racist

    Nascar sure is strange these days.

    A lot of debating over whether this knot is racist. All I see is a handle made of rope. This country is going fucking mad.

    Finally saw a photo of the knot in question. Looks to be needlessly racist.
    Photo of the garage pull rope tied like a noose from the Bubba Wallace garage Sunday, from a NASCAR reporter.

    The FBI did nothing wrong, here; it would only be a hate crime if it had been targeted against Wallace, and since it was put there months before Wallace was assigned that garage, no hate crime.

    That doesn't mean the guys who originally made it weren't racists who had clear racist intent in making it as a racist joke among themselves. Just means that doing so makes them shitty people, but it's not a crime, and thus the FBI doesn't have anything to do with it.
