I even said ‘probably not so in this case’, before people then tried to turn my comment into some form of derogatory racist view. People are now actively looking to be offended, and some are actively looking to be offended on behalf of others whether they wish them to or not.....

where?
 
Quick to take offence, there, Pete. :dodgy:

No one's looking to take offence, they're looking to root out a scourge on our society at a time when it suddenly looks so much more possible than even a few months ago. In pursuing that, a few mistakes might be made along the journey.

Get some perspective, for heaven's sake.

Not with you Clint. Of course mistakes can be made, like taking a drive for an eye test, and they get blown out of all proportion. In fact I would put money on that idiot Police Officer using a Similar excuse when the guy was killed. There’s a lot needs putting right in this country and the way to achieve it is to argue the case and build a consensus , not tear down statues and all the other rubbish. My sympathies are with those that suffer inequality because it’s not right, and if it’s not right then it should be fixed. But personally I would never yield to a mob, nor to anyone or any cause engaged in the senseless destruction of historical Statues. This noose ‘mistake’ makes the case just that little bit harder.....

Please tell me you that you didn't actually believe that Pete, and that you didn't believe Gove when he said that it is something that he has done a couple of times too. Nobody in the world has ever taken their family for a drive to see if their eyes are working properly.

Of course not, no one drives to test their eyes....
 

It might be used as a garage opening pulley but that is definitely a noose.

The person at that track who said that pulley was installed last year after the season needs to be looked into. They are either lying or are ok with garage pulleys looking like nooses. Both scenarios are not good.

Why have they not replaced it already? Especially if it was temporary. It should look like the ones used everywhere else.

yea, it's dead weird, if you pulled on that it would tighten around your hand. Why put any knot in it?

Defo weird and the FBI in my opinion didn't really look into it or the agents investigating were fresh out of Quantico.

To allow the explanation given to them without scrutiny then to write it off as they did is nuts.

It may not have been directed at Wallace. It could well have been installed last year by some weirdo either way why try defend it.

Why not say it was in bad taste and say they should have replaced it. Say they will have words with whoever did it and offer them sensitivity training or something.

The whole case is just mad.
 
Well, that is definitely a noose...however the picture they showed the other day looks a bit different.....also it’s in a different garage...something not right here.....

That’s what is in the papers as an example of what the pully ropes look like. Not a pic of the actual rope.

there are loads of example like this on the daily mail.


They are all shots from a video.
