It Wasn’t a Noose

The media went wild yesterday! What a fantastic story they reported with glee! A noose was found in the garage of the only black NASCAR driver! Stop the presses! Call Gayle King on CBS! Put Al Sharpton on notice! Get some bricks and fire bombs prepped for BLM!  Organize a solidarity parade for all the other NASCAR drivers! Pump the story of racism and white supremacy in America!

Shoot!  Turns out it wasn’t a noose but just a rope handle. Now let’s see if media does equal job of reporting this fact.

As the AP reports:

U.S. Attorney Jay Town and FBI Special Agent in Charge Johnnie Sharp Jr. said its investigation determined ‘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.’
A crew member for Richard Petty Motorsports discovered the noose Sunday at the Alabama race track. NASCAR was alerted and contacted the FBI, which sent 15 agents to the track to investigate. They determined no federal crime was committed.

The statement said the garage stall was assigned to Wallace last week in advance of the race scheduled for Sunday but held on Monday because of rain. Through video confirmed by NASCAR it was discovered the noose ‘was in that garage as early as October 2019.’
The agencies said the evidence did not support federal charges.

Why the agents continued to refer to the rope as a “noose,” after determining there is no hate crime and no way anyone could have known Wallace would use that stall, is unknown.
