We are truly living in an Orwellian moment when 15 FBI agents are sent to investigate fake hate crimes while cities are left to burn.What bothers me is that only 15 FBI agents were assigned to this inportant case of the evil door pulldown cord.
Moron comment of the week.it means he's not racist
So all this shit because a door pull had a loop in it?
I knew my instinct was to reserve judgment on this initially since it smelled funny...
Schaaf said officials must “start with the assumption that these are hate crimes.” However, the mayor and Nicholas Williams, the city’s director of parks recreation, also said it didn’t matter whether the ropes were meant to send a racist message.
Any rope with a loop formed in it is a noose now. Including exercise equipment. Everyone knew this was a Jussie moment. It was really a 50/50 shot. It turned out to be even better - just a piece of rope used to pull down a door.
EDIT
I edited my facetious rant because I noticed something in the article I linked.
This is the problem with this world. These "investigators" start with the assumption a "hate crime" has been committed (whatever a "hate crime" actually means or how it's different from regular crime) and then work back to innocence. Guilty until proven innocent is the new motto of American justice. Not just the mob rule anymore but now the rule of the highest federal law enforcement in the land.
Let's thank god this wasn't used to pin a fake crime on a southern looking garage worker.

Yeah, but only because that's your default setting. You were bound to get one right.The righties never entertained the thought that it was real.
The media is only guilty of reporting what NASCAR told the authorities.I suppose we can expect the media to do in depth interviews, lengthy articles and analysis of why they all jumped to the conclusion that this was some racist hate crime. I mean they really do want to get to the bottom of the racial divide in the country, right? Could be when you're conditioned to assume every single thing has a racial component to it, that all of white America is racist, oppression is everywhere, one just might see racism where none exists at all. Might be worth trying to find out where all this assumption comes from. I'll wait.
