And when you factor in the knowledge that every other garage door there has only a knot for a handle, that makes it very suspiscious. Plus, if it's been there for 6 months as has been claimed, who put it there, why aren't they coming forward if there is nothing nefarious going on?
    No Jim. It is NOT a noose. They are two different knots. A noose would never work as a pull. And you are also wrong that this was the only stall with this bowline knot in it. The garage crews say it is used to grab with a pole to pull the door down. A noose knot would not work like that.

      • Mississipi legilature votes to remove the confederate flag from its state flag. The Republican Governor is expected to sign it. It's about time. Mississipi has the largest population of black people in the country.

          Better late than never I suppose.
          My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

          If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

          This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

            So the Republicans took away another Democrat flag?

                Wrong. Not even close. They actually rank #18. According to the Census bureau Texas, Florida, New York, Georgia, California, North Carolina, Illinois, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Louisiana, Michigan, New Jersey, South Carolina, Alabama, and Tennessee all have more blacks living in their states than does "Mississipi" [sic]

                  Here is a photo of it. Looks like a noose to me.

                    • If they mean having the highest percentage they would be correct, if they mean by sheer numbers as you indicated then they rank #18th

                        I haven't followed this case much at all, but that does look like noose. I wouldn't fault anyone for thinking it was a noose.

                          No one who sees a noose is going to check to make sure it's functioning properly before saying "yep, it's a noose".

                          Glad the NASCAR thing turned out not to be racist-inspired.

                            Yep, most people do not have extensive knowledge of knots, esp that there is a knot that looks pretty much just like a noose but really isn't.

                            Assuming of course it really wasnt.
