Well, there are good guys who stand up for God and country (like I think Petty used to do) and then there are good guys who have lost their way. Petty may be one of those guys.
People lose their way. After all, we’re all like sheep that can fairly easily lose our way.
I do not know Petty... other than his name associated with NASCAR.. It is not my thing. But I did see the picture of a ‘rope’ used to open and close a garage door ... all the the total and complete BS ... that followed .. 18, I think I remember, FBI agents to investigate a ‘supposed’ hate crime ... told me all I need to know of the character of Petty ... he and he alone destroyed his credibility.
