"Well, will Bubba be banned for life?"

It may not be necessary - you know some of that crowd in that picture really didn't want to be there.

NASCAR was alerted and contacted the FBI, which sent 15 agents to the track to investigate.

15 friggin agents at taxpayer expense. They needed 15 agents. Probably more than they’d send for a murder.

As someone on Twitter just put it: It took 15 FBI agents to crack the case Sundance solved yesterday.

If anything, this non-act showed how scared people are; imagine being a NASCAR driver, hundreds of miles an hour 1 foot from another car, 6 seconds from death at any moment?

And yet, you are so scared of a 4-inch loop in a rope that you are reduced to tears, and require the support of a hundred people pushing your car forward to make you feel “better”?

I am all for a civilized society that never tolerates someone playing cruel pranks. But whenever I hear a friend talking about how hurt they are about something, I always start by asking them why, and why they want to be so vulnerable as to let some random idiot have control over their feelings.

Were these great rank and file 15 FBI agents the same team that raided senior citizen Roger Stone?

15 agents? Did they think they were going after a 70-year-old unarmed Trump supporter?

His crew told Nascar

Nascar told the public

So that big drama, all the drivers walking behind his car pushing it... that was all bullshit. LOL

They owe reparations to all the white people they jumped to conclusions about.
What a drama queen: “They can’t take away my smile!”
How about now, Bubba?

The instant I saw the over the top histrionics of the other drivers pushing Wallace’s car, and Bubba acting all emotional I knew they would look like abject fools in the end.

And I am - was - a Jimmie Johnson fan, and I was told he was one of the ones that organized the historic and powerful pit road push.

Done.

I hope they frickin pay. That thing has been hanging there for years. Now, all of a sudden, it’s a noose. I guess they all see a lyncher around every corner.

As far as I can tell, the article doesn’t explain what the rope was doing there in the first place. Was it actually a “noose,” or a rope whose presence could be explained apart from it being some kind of racial threat?

It was a rope used to pull down a garage door.

The media and NASCAR owe their fans an apology. They got skewered on the radio and news over the past couple days.

15 FBI Special Agents and how many man hours to figure out what an overhead door pull is?

This guy Bubba, obviously, is a leading contender for “Most Perpetually Offended”. It was only a matter of time before he would seek the “I’m offended” spotlight.

Expect NASCAR to make heroic efforts to distance Bubba from this noose stink bomb. Brain dead will lap it up.

And, NASCAR expects to gain new fans from this stunt. Good luck keeping the old ones.
