This might be hard for you to do but I unequivocally condemn setting bombs or fires off.
Can you do the same?

easy to do...and i might add i also unequivocally condemn all attempts by federal authorities to throw gasoline onto volatile situations without a request for help from local authorities

Yes. This was 100% a noose. I've worked in an industrial setting for the last 5 years and grew up in the smallest southern, white town in East Tennessee, with several friends having dad's that owned car repair shops. We even had an "auto class" at my high school that I took as a freshman. This isn't a typical loop knot you see 99% of the time in these environments. This took some effort to make. If I saw this hanging around in the operating areas of my work, I would likely question the intentions of it since, again, it isn't a typical knot you see in any environment, even one that utilizes loop knots frequently. Considering the racial tension at the time, it certainly wasn't an unreasonable assumption. Do I think the FBI needed to get involved? Certainly not. But I do feel the cause for alarm was justified.
And while it turned out to be coincidental in this case, you do realize that something can have a racist intention without actually being directed at any one person specifically don't you? Given the nature of NASCAR and it's fans (and if you are from the South, you know exactly what I mean) I feel comfortable saying it's fairly likely someone made this noose as a joke at some point, the same way that someone carves a swastika in a gas station bathroom stall.
Is there a reason you went with the zoomed in shot? That "noose" wasn't large enough to hang my pug:

Fair. I also condemn all local politicians who opt for woke points instead of making an effort to stop rioting and keep residents and business owners safe.

I've never tied one. It looks like it would be easy to make smaller (obviously) and hard to make larger. But I've always struggled with knots so I may be way off.

This is why I said your only flaw is not being from Oakland or Berkeley. But all kidding aside, it is actually a source of great frustration on the part of ordinary people in places like Oakland, Berkeley and Portland that the authorities have not figured out how to deal with the spoilers who show up at these protests with nothing to contribute but violence and mayhem.

It should be. They elect gutless leaders and then cheer them on when they make poor decisions that handicap police ability to respond to the riots. Then they tell us that the the rioters aren't the protesters, there's some massive shift change that takes place before the lawlessness begins, I'm sure it looks like the whistle blowing at a manufacturing plant.
If the rioters aren't the protesters and you condemn their actions, I'm sure it becomes very frustrating to provide a reasonable explanation for tying law enforcement's hands in stopping the riots.
