Hate Crime Hoaxes
 
For anyone following this mess with curiosity, and a desire for real facts.

Bubba Wallace makes 9 noose hoaxes now. And yes, we are keeping track.

Because the political left’s demand for racism exceeds the supply, the NASCAR Bubba Wallace noose is the latest noose hoax to be perpetrated on America by the Woke and its complicit fake news media.

And that’s why, when the news broke of a noose discovered in a NASCAR garage temporarily used by Bubba Wallace, a black NASCAR driver, everyone thought it just might be exposed as a hoax.

UC San Diego, March 2010

The UC San Diego student reportedly responsible for hanging a noose last week in a campus library issued a public, but anonymous, apology Monday and said she had no racist motivation.

"As a minority student*who sympathizes with the students that have been affected by the recent issues on campus, I am distraught to know that I have unintentionally added to their pain," the student wrote. She was suspended Friday and remains under investigation for a possible hate crime.

Oakland Corporation Yard Noose, December 12, 2014

A reported noose tied to the back of a city truck in August, which stirred already simmering racial tensions at Oakland’s Corporation Yard, was not an intended act of racial harassment, a city-commissioned report has found.
The 25-page report by the law firm Hanson Bridgett immediately came under attack by SEIU Local 1021, the union that represents the two workers who spotted the rope tied to a bar on the back of a city-issued pickup truck and filed a complaint.
According to the report, a union representative changed the rope’s position on the crossbar so that it looked much more like a hangman’s noose shortly before reporters arrived to snap photos. Originally the knot of the rope was not dangling from the crossbar, the investigation found, but was looped against the crossbar.

University of Delaware, September 23, 2015

University of Delaware officials said three apparent nooses found hanging outside a campus performance hall Tuesday night were not "instruments of a hate crime," but harmless remnants of lanterns used during a campus event.

DePaul University, June 2016

Students claimed that an image of an untied rope laid on the ground was a noose*placed on the Lincoln Park campus by a student who was animated by Yiannopoulos’ lecture that occurred last week. Students reported the noose to campus security, who claimed that they are investigating the incident.

University of Maryland, June 2017

Earlier today, we were notified of a knotted piece of plastic wrap laying on the ground in the 7500 block of Baltimore Ave. Police were notified out of concern for possible hate bias,*the University of Maryland Police Department said in a statement.
It was a loop at the end of a piece of plastic.

Washington D.C. Construction Site, August 2017

After investigating the situation, police determined that the construction crew was using the rope to move equipment. Metropolitan Police Department spokesperson Aquita Brown told DCist that the incident is not being investigated as a hate-bias crime.

Jussie Smollett, February 2019

Chicago Police Superintendent*Eddie Johnson expressed shock in a press conference Thursday over*Empire*actor Jussie Smollett using the symbolism of a noose as part of a staged hate crime against himself.

Oakland’s Lake Merritt, June 2020

Victor Sengbe, who is black, told KGO-TV that the ropes were part of a rigging that he and his friends used as part of a larger swing system. He also shared video of the swing in use.

NASCAR Noose, June 2020

A loop tied into a rope that’s used to pull down a garage door. Of course, Al Tawana Brawley Sharpton is pretty sure Bubba is*still the victim*here.

That’s nine hate crime hoaxes involving a noose.

Oh, and this one might end up being the tenth noose hoax; twine with a loop in it left behind a former administrative office is being investigated as a hate crime. https://www.breitbart.com/sports/202...found-in-tree/

Meanwhile, as 15 FBI agents 15!, hunt down the horrific intent behind tying a loop at the end of a garage pull, all around the country the left wing terrorists in Black Lives Matter and Antifa are wantonly toppling statues and desecrating monuments while law enforcement does nothing.

A few more Hate crime hoaxes. And why we don't believe everything that BLM, Antifa, Southern poverty law center, ACLU says.

Same impression I get.

teckk 06-25-2020 03:48 PM

They are documented hate crime hoaxes. We just had one with another so called noose. It was a garage door rope. This is being used to show how racist America is. Well, not if they are hoaxes.

michaelk 06-25-2020 04:42 PM

In the case of Bubba Wallace since he was instrumental in getting the Confederate flag banned from NASCAR it would seem reasonable to think there could be some people upset and might want to intimidate him. Without all the facts everyone just assumed it was a hate crime which seemed reasonable until the FBI proved differently. The noose was actually found by a member of his pit crew who was also black.

It would seem reasonable for the racetrack to have records of who used the garage but will see if the details once found are made public.

While the others may have turned out to be hoaxes I don't think they are fake news. Fake news is the deliberate disinformation or hoaxes spread by the news media which these were not.

DavidMcCann 06-26-2020 10:31 AM

The OP has collected every false (or allegedly false) hate crime claim made in the USA in the last thirteen years! Of course there are false claims of hate crimes. And of arson. And of burglary. And of anything else you care to mention. People make them for various reasons, ranging from profit to mental disturbance.

Frankly, teckk, you need to consider whether you need to get (a) a life or (b) therapy.

teckk 06-26-2020 11:13 AM

Don't like those facts outside of the narrative huh?

Kind of like when Michael Brown/Furguson Mo./the gentle giant had bullet holes that entered the back of his hands and exited the palm. Which proves that his hands were not up when the cop shot him, but his arms were down. Which supports the cops claim that he was struggling with Brown.

Which makes the whole hands up don't shoot narrative a hoax, even though thousands keep repeating it.

There certainly is racism and bad in the US. Police do indeed kill black men, we saw the cop kneel on the mans neck, but these false narratives and hoaxes don't help anything. It makes those repeating them untrustworthy. We aren't having a major problem with people hanging nooses everywhere to inflame black people. It isn't happening. So black people don't need to be enraged about that.

Seems to me that the best way to go forward would be to start with the truth based on facts, not agenda driven narratives, where agenda driven media suppresses facts, and report what they like, usually with a twist, to inflame a population of people. Might help us get along better.

ChuangTzu 06-26-2020 12:03 PM

teckk, the current and prior hoaxes as well as the current riots/looting are Marxists in action. It's what they have done in many countries/time periods and are now currently doing, especially in the USA but not isolated to USA. Look up the tactics used in Russia, Germany, China just to name a few, black shirts, brown shirts, red shirts etc... It has nothing to do with "race", it's political, its an agenda being put into action. Even the "leader" of the BLM terrorist group admitted they are trained Marxists and they are part of a Marxist revolution. Their agenda is no longer up for debate it's stated quite clearly on their website, by their leaders etc...

Also look up the following groups as they are providing the funding, pay close attention to who created each group and who is funding each group/subgroup:
Justice Democrats
Sunrise Movement
Working Families Party
as well as other groups/companies, even Disney admitted to funding BLM

ondoho, what a rediculous thing to say to the OP. The creation of divisions within society is a hallmark of Marxism. The best way to destroy a society is to create divisions ad infinitum: class division, wealth division, sex division, race division, religious division etc... all false concepts created by Marxist ideology to cause society to rip itself apart creating the necessary chaos for the totalitarian solution(s).

PS: the more modern handbook the Marxists are using is called Rules For Radicals, by the way if you doubt that books purpose, it was dedicated to Lucifer.

I suspect the OP is a concerned human. What a revolutionary concept.

Because according to Marxist ideology if you are not a member of a divisive created group/subgroup then your oppinion does not matter, in fact unless you are a part of the movement then you (and your life) do not matter. Hence the immediate attack, assumption and obsession with one's identity.

Because members of those groups would not post this. Only white, right wing conservatives have this viewpoint, at least in the US.

teckk 06-26-2020 12:30 PM

I wasn't trying to start a left-right argument. Or be offensive. The links show that some things are not being reported. They wind people up, then when it's shown to be not true, they "media" ignore it, and let it run.

Most Americans would like the race fires to burn out. I don't know of anyone that would put a noose up. Why would you. I'm sure that it has happened somewhere. The media pushes this crap on purpose to cause problems between the groups. It's good to expose them. They love to try and divide us. Talk about enemies foreign and domestic.

We have had 3 fake nooses in my local area in the last 15 years. One was at the power plant. Turns out a tall man got tired of always getting hit in the head by a hanging rope when he walked through, so he tied it up higher. And there was a big FBI investigation over that. And the local media LOVED it.

We have also had fake hate crimes against gays. And they get caught. There are camera's in public everywhere now.

Get ready to really get mad, there are some people that have race on the brain. They view everything through the filter of race. And there are also professionally offended people.

We don't need these fake stories to wind things up. There is enough real "man being mean to man".

My point was, some of this race/gay/gender hatred is manufactured, not real.

I meant no offense by this comment, simply that the current regime in the US pushes the "fake news" agenda, and it is heavily tied to the conservative right wing. The members of that group are predominantly white and Christian. Normally, other population groups do not raise concerns over "fake news" because they are frequently targets of the regime and it's ultra-conservative policies.
