FBI: Noose found in Bubba Wallace's NASCAR garage was there since last year
2020-06-24
[FOXNEWS] The FBI has determined that a noose found in NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace's garage at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday had been there since at least last year, according to the bureau.

A statement issued by U.S. Attorney Jay E. Town said that an investigation has concluded that no federal crime was committed.

"The FBI learned that garage number 4, where the noose was found, was assigned to Bubba Wallace last week. The investigation also revealed evidence, including authentic video confirmed by NASCAR, that the noose found in garage number 4 was in that garage as early as October 2019," the bureau said. "Although the noose is now known to have been in garage number 4 in 2019, nobody could have known Mr. Wallace would be assigned to garage number 4 last week."

Further details were not immediately released. The FBI said no charges would be pursued in relation to the incident.

#15  If you deliberately set out to look for something that confirms your own biases and worldview, chances are you will find it whether it exists or not where you are looking.

#13  Notice how they never actually showed the noise? This was all engineered.

#12  I'm hoping he kneels on the race track. Somewhere along the 250 mile mark.

#11  Wallace is pi$$ing all over NASCAR's brand now and the drivers, team owners, sponsors and front office crowd knows they can't say a word about it. Smart fans will say nothing either, but may quietly put their wallets away.

#10  For that matter, how do all these lynching experts not know what a noose looks like?

#9  How in the actual fuck does one become a professional automobile/machine operator without knowing what a pull rope loop on a bay door is.

#8  And as expected, there would be those calling BS on the results. Did not expect it to come from Bubba himself: discussing w/ Don Lemon on CNN he called the evidence photoshopped. As woke as NASCAR has become, that seems unlikely. Wonder if there have been any discussions between Bubba and King Richard on this???

This whole thing sucks. I like NASCAR racing but the governing body is just embarrassing itself

#5  Interesting synopsis here.

#4  then it's not a noose, is it?

it's a rope.

at best, it's a 'noose' with scare quotes to indicate that it is not in fact that thing.

we've already ceded the language and are naming things as demanded by the leftists.

#3  File this under Fake Noose.

#2  Hat tip to Bureau investigators and the 48 hour rule, but there is really, no such thing as 'bad publicity.'

#1  Been there since last year, eh? Certainly an important detail. However...

Missing from this story is the fact that the "noose" turned out to be the pull cord for an overhead garage door. You know, a short length of rope with a loop at one end. Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be journalists.
