Maybe to bring out facts, the truth, show a clear photo and put to rest the obfuscating conspiracy theories and those who have tried so very hard...to compare this with Smollet's disgusting stunt? :oops:

That's just a guess though.
:D

I found this at the top of the first page...on my search. :oops:

As I thought...


29 Tracks - 1,684 Stalls - ONLY 1 Noose

Quote:

In a NASCAR staff report, the organization said “NASCAR officials asked each track to sweep through respective garages.”

Phelps added: “So across those 29 tracks and 1,684 garage stalls, we found only 11 total that had a pull-down rope tied in a knot and only one noose — the one discovered on Sunday in Bubba Wallace’s garage.”


:ho:

'Maybe to bring out facts, the truth, show a clear photo'... lol The photo is a fake and a key argument in the article (1 out of 1684 plus stalls) has been proven to be wrong by well over 1000. Yeah, sure.

I won't waste my time verifying but would you care to put big money on if that number is correct? PM me on the wager please.
1000.00 to the local no kill shelter?

And here, and some other posts, we have a perfect example of why I started the thread. Any claim involving Black grievances must be fake, the photo must be doctored, .... I put a link in the original post to show what a hangman's noose looks like but I will add a few to this post which you can compare at your leisure to the one from the NASCAR report. I also very clearly indicated that NASCAR looked at every garage in their system, not just at one track. As to the photo being doctored, I obviously don't have the original but in my copying it from the news report and then copying it again to this website it is entirely possible that the jpeg process made it a bit fuzzy.

Here is the direct quote from NASCAR.com. Looks like you are going to be donating some cash

"After Sunday’s discovery, NASCAR officials asked each track to sweep through respective garages. Across the 1,684 garage stalls at 29 tracks, NASCAR found only 11 total had a pull-down rope tied in a knot and only one noose — the one discovered Sunday in the No. 43 garage stall."

Here are snips of the noose from NASCAR's photo and online drawings and photos. If you want to tell me that the NASCAR noose is not a noose and you're an expert in noose making, I'll take your word for it. Like I said in the thread title, it looks like a noose to me.

As I said in my very first post and I quote. 'Yup, that's a noose alright and from memory, that looks like a stall off pit row.' Regarding degradation of a jpeg you are somewhat correct, but the degradation is global in a picture, not just around the rope part. Honestly, arguing that point is useless. It's not the way bits and byte's work. It's math, it's factual!
Regarding black grievances... I think the cop that started all this should be hung by a black guy in a public square. That said, I'm not going to lie to make my already flawed argument look any better or look the other direction when someone that may agree with me does something wrong.

1. It was a short smal rope with a noose-type knot.
2. It was attached to the garage DOOR, not a ceiling rafter or tree limb.
3. It was at that same place on the same door (documented) since Fall of 2019.
4. It was NOT KNOWN that Wallace would be assigned #4 garage.


but - the Wallace team, NASCAR, and of course the Press JUMPED on this with abandon - 15 FBI agents assigned - and the Media made this the spectacle that (unfortunately) we are still talking about.

Case closed - and should have been dropped within 20 minutes after finding it.

Nope - yet another overblown and overreacted matter. period. I'm SO done with this.

same here, no TV news

I'm willing to drop 1k at a shelter because even though I haven't researched it, I'm so confident that they are wrong I'm willing to put money on it. BTW. My PM is empty and I gave you 16 minutes.
Nice try but as they say nowadays, youv'e been owned. :popcorn:

I thought you said there was a MOOSE in the garage, hahahaah, now, where the heck are my glasses.:boom:

I could photoshop Bullwinkle in if you would like but they'll call it a fake. lol

nututv 06-25-2020 06:12 PM

Well son of a gun. You quoted the same thing I did and yours doesn't have the +1 or the word other in it either.
Just because I don't believe the lies, distortions and propaganda used to try and make a point does not at all mean I don't believe in the fight for equality. No matter what damn color.

So it didn't dawn on you, when NASCAR officials "asked each track," Talledaga wasn't included, because they (and the FBI) were there...and had already looked at all of the other stalls? :oops:

My thoughts exactly. That is a noose, regardless of how long it has been hanging there. With all of the Confederate paraphenalia around NASCAR, it is of no surprise that at least one person would think this would catch the eye of someone sooner or later. There are lots of knots, but only one knot is a noose and this was it.

I won't call it fake news. Just a fake pic.

I agree. If you enlarge the photo it's easy to see where color has been added above the end of the rope where it passes across the image of the edge of the garage. It's much blacker than the background color. That leaves a couple of possibilities. It may be just a touchup job to make the rope stand out, which is shaky but OK, I guess. Or it can be a Photoshop job to embellish the narrative. And not OK. At this point it's hard to take anything about the incident as certain.

It looks to me like Bubba successfully jumped into the national spotlight by playing the race card rather than driving his race car. His stunt reminds me of that of Jussie Smollett whose acting career was pretty ho hum but who is now world famous.
