In Bubba's defense, its a slip knot, and all slip knots are nooses. It's a really old term, from Middle English or Old French, from the Lain nodus, which means knot. It's one of the basic, and most common stitches in knitting. It's used in fishing (arbor knot) and in boating (running bowline), and Scouting (slip knot). Someone should knit Bubba a scarf. See if he notices that he's wearing thousands of nooses around his neck.
The NYT did a study on it, and they found that 2/3 of the hate crimes reported were fake. And that's somebody trying to put the best, most racist spin on it. If you take a closer look, it's closer to 90 percent. And it feels like it's even higher than that. One thing that seems to be certain is, the more news coverage a hate crime gets, the less likely it's real.
When I hear a story like this Bubba Wallace one I first think it's a misunderstanding or a purposeful hoax. Very rarely is it the real deal. Also when I hear stories about somebody spray painting something that says spells Trump with a Nazi sign or other acts of vandalism, It is almost always done by someone who hates him and not done by a Trump supporter with an affinity for Nazis.

You can't let someone who is hysterical make you do something to lose your means of protection. Now they have no weapon amid probably death threats and a political climate that calls for defunding police.
That would be the smart thing to do ... particularly if one is armed.
