FBI: Video evidence shows noose found in garage of Bubba Wallace had been there since Oct. 2019

Door pulley.

Edit: This is not a photo of his garage, but another at the same track. The speculation is that the similar door pulley in his garage was mistaken for a "noose".

I am thinking would not have gotten it wrong, though.

Yeah they are around the garages all the time. I guarantee they know the difference.

Hey guise, can you take this discussion to the noose forum?

Hey guise, can you take this discussion to the noose forum?

I am upset we were told to take our Snooker conversation to the Snooker forum.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Hey guise, can you take this discussion to the noose forum?

Is there an “ot: Nanoose Bay people” thread somewhere?

 

[Comeds]

There's a good 'knots and ropery' thread on the Girl Scouts Of America forums.... but I'm not allowed there anymore

You were banned for being too knotty, right?

iirc comeds was always posting subversive political bs about velcro being superior to rope

Because I am tired of seeing sports sections filled with Political BS posts. Tired of it being over ran. I understand that its the only thing to talk about now, as there are 0 sports going on and most sports talk is tied to politics, but this is a sports forum, not a political forum. If you want to get covid issues, goverment issues, any issues off your chest by posting your thoughts about it, by all means, post it in the Political Forum.

Politics and sports are inextricably linked. Sports has been a historic ground for barrier breaking, for protest, of significance in international dispute. Sports are populated by diverse people of diverse origin and diverse opinion and expression, and the fans are the same. Politics will always be in sport. Always. And hockey is no exception.

COVID-19 is as much a hockey topic as a political topic, as much a personal topic as a public health topic. There isn't a line. They connect to each other. Political, personal, and business considerations are all at the forefront of the decisions sports leagues are making. The national environment set by our public representatives affects matter of sport otherwise, as well. Hell, climate change is a big deal for hockey, specifically, since a warming planet could cost access to the sport for people in all but the coldest areas, as making ice becomes increasingly difficult and expensive in increasingly many areas.

We talk plenty of hockey. But we are more than just hockey fans. We're people with interests and concerns and opinions. We talk about music and movies and sports other than hockey, and yeah, we talk politics. Because we trust each other not to judge too cruelly that with which we disagree, while (in my case at least, arguably the most politically radical of this bunch) discussing matters with folks not in our own political echo chambers, and have honest discussions about all of it, from hockey to everything else. Because we're a community who appreciate the space and each other.

And frankly, provided we're not being abusive or doing anything illegal, I don't see how anyone who isn't a regular member of the board--anyone who hasn't gotten to know us personally as we all have each other over the past decade or so--irrespective of their role on this site, should possess more authority to determine what we can and cannot talk about besides us and our (very thoughtful and effective) mods. The board benefits from these "off-topic" discussions. We know each other better because of them, trust each other more, and can achieve even deeper, even more engaging hockey banter and a consequence.

 

[Darkstone42]

An addendum: Outsiders are welcome here, a fact which I think my post obscures, regardless of their opinions, provided they abide by the respect and decorum we've established here. And I think anyone who comes to this board and engages us honestly and in good faith will appreciate the range of our banter. And, if they're uncomfortable touching political subjects, they can steer themselves clear of the threads where those things are being discussed. There are tons of hockey threads on various topics on this board they can immerse themselves in as completely as they wish, and they're very welcome to do so!

As long as it stays clean from attacks, I can create a political subforum within the NHL section so it will still be here within the NHL forum, but off the NHL main boards.

Why is a sub-forum so much different than a couple of threads?

And is this forum really overrun? If there are members that use this board that feel that these two threads are interfering with the discussion of NHL hockey topics I haven't heard it. If there ARE users of this board who are bothered by these threads I'd be surprised but also willing to talk about alternative formats. Otherwise it seems like an unnecessary move.

Feel free to do what you want but the current format works for me (and I assume many others). Move this to the politics thread and I'll stop posting in this topic and possibly on this forum altogether.

I met a Trump supporter today. Told me God and Trump were gonna get rid of the coronavirus in one month (he didn't explain why they've waited so long if they've always had the solution). He told me that unemployment was going to drop to 0% (he pointed up as he did it). He was wearing this hat during the conversation:

It was weird.

Oh, so that was you I ran into today. Small world.










(I joke of course, please nobody think I like Trump)

I'd bet my last fruit basket it's one person who tried to stir up shit and didn't get the reaction they wanted who is crying to site admins.

HOCKEY POST!

More likely it was BBQ sauce

Saharan dust on the move toward Ohio

Given how 2020 has gone so far, I would bet there's at least a hundred mummies caught up in that cloud.

I wonder if they will stop selling rope garage door pulleys too?
