Timeline of how Bubba Wallace noose was found and reported

On Tuesday’s edition of “First Take” on ESPN, Wallace identified mechanic David Cropps as the team member who found the rope.

“When my crew guy – who happens to be African-American - saw that he did his research first,” Wallace, a native of Mobile, explained on “First Take.” “I was very proud of that. David Cropps, a guy I’ll stand by in any trenches on any day, walked up and down the garages to make sure he wasn’t overreacting. He saw that other garage pulls were basically just a solid piece of rope, no knots in them, and we have a knot that’s in the shape of a noose.”

Wallace told The Dan Patrick Show he told the FBI he questioned Cropps and crew chief Jerry Baxter to make sure “they didn’t jump the gun” on what they saw.

“I asked them, ‘Did we check the other garages?” Wallace said. “Both of them said in their heart of hearts that it was done over night. This isn’t something that can be done in minutes. This took time.

Link to the tweet where he says he’s OK with the investigation now.

Judging by the reaction on Twitter, NOOSECAR is still screwed.

Thanks for the link showing "nooses" in more garages, going back at least to 2016.

There goes the narrative.

Yes and every town I lived in had a statue that these radicals are tearing down

So how do you suggest that gets rectified

FRiend, don’t drag the genuine Amish into BS like this.

“Both of them said in their heart of hearts that it was done over night.”

Inserting crap like “in their heart of hearts” is a giant tell that either Cropp or Wallace are lying. Which depends on who said it first.

This is provably false, or evidence of a crime. There are pictures of the other bays showing looped pulls. The 7 month old pic with the #21 car in bay 5 shows a knot that looks like a hangman's knot. Other bays looked more like a bowline knot. Also, in the June 21 pics where the bay 5 knot had been cut off, the bay 4 pull rope had obviously just been untied, evidenced by the kinks in the rope. Someone went around and untied the other rope pulls. THAT would be tampering with evidence. Everyone was asking "when the knot was tied". I ask "when were the other knots untied"? I think we know the answer.

This.

I’m not a fisherman, so I don’t know. I do know the bowline is common in boating.

“Masters” is racist now. Please try to keep up.

[Romulus]

A bowline is used to tie sheet lines to a foresail clew. I can’t think of any know similar to a noose in sailing — but I don’t sail anymore.

t makes no sense.

Since we know it had been there all along..who had touched it for the entire time they were there that KNEW it had always been there.

Exactly

And yet STILL no good image exists of the alleged noose...

I really hope you are not serious as my comment was completely facetious.

BTW, I have a tremendous customer base of both the Amish and Mennonite peoples and have a great deal of love and respect for them professionally AND personally.

Just a warning: AL.com leans hard to the left.

It’s about as reliable as the NYT or the Washington Compost.

Why does the FBI keep calling it a “Noose”? You think they would specify that it was not a noose if it was not tied like a noose, or maybe the FBI doesn’t know their knots?
