Common sense> We have that on almost every garage door in The Villages. Most of ours are from the mfr and fashioned as a rope with a plastic pull. Someone at Talledega fashioned this rope (as a loop to put your fingers...) last Fall - so this was a conspiracy??? knowing that Bubba would be assigned that garage in June '20?

"Guess what. You have what many people could construe as a noose. Duh"

Sure by folks who want to gen up yet another News piece and create MORE racial tension. nice job folks - done well, and we are STILL talking about it. their objective.
I had to chuckle when I read your post. I believe you were actually defending my position. I never said it was a noose I was sarcastically responding to another post. Go up a couple of threads and you’ll see what I said. The FBI never said it was a noose. They said it was fashioned like a noose. Get any piece of rope and tie a loop around the end and guess what. You have a rope fashioned like a noose. In this case that rope actually had a purpose so that takes away the argument that it was specifically created as a racial statement. I just went into my garage and took a picture of the garage door release rope and handle. When I installed it the handle kept hitting my trucks windshield. So what did I do, I tied it up higher with a knot. Guess what, it seems to be fashioned like.....you guessed it, a small noose. I guess I’m a racist and don’t even know it. Wish I knew how to put a picture here.
