From a photography perspective that's exactly how I would shoot the photo. You can't see the rope as well shooting in to the garage because it gets lost in the background of the garage. Its like taking a pic of a fleeing vehicle but you don't get the license plate. Useless. Inadmissible and so far from incriminating it may as well be the next Curious George book. Curious George finds a noose. There is absolutely no correlation to Bubba or his assigned garage in the only.... single... Solitary pic that 9 FBI agents can produce in 48 hours ?? It's totally inadmissible, there is no connection to Bubba or his garage AT ALL. Nuthin. Nada. Zilch. Niente. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it have to go around someone's neck before it is called a noose? Come on! The fact that it's been there since last fall only confirms that someone was bored and tied a noose into the rope. There is nothing racist about that. That is the entire point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is used for tightening on an object and then loosened easily. People who own boats practice making nooses to tie off fenders for instance.

That wasn't my original point. Some here were saying that it wasn't a noose when it clearly was. I got dragged in to discussing the rest. I agree that there isn't any point in trying to tie it to anything. Like I said in an earlier post, none of us know why it was tied the way it was.

NaturallyAspirated Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 On 6/26/2020 at 11:27 AM, NaturallyAspirated said: It also appears that there were no other noose ties used for pulls there. It's pretty clear this was tied as a door pull with the novel racist implications attached, but not specifically intended for Bubba. That Bubba's team was assigned the stall amplified the poor taste and choice of that tie as a door pull. Personally I don't see it as any kind of amusing novelty or action. It's not necessary, and was clearly intended to have the history and meaning of a noose attributed to it. It's petty and embarrassing. Let's move on and put out the message that other door pull knots should be used, if at all. Neal ... Neal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
