Yeah, no, I’m not undercover on Twitter and I guess that’s my problem. I’m out and proud. @ chucklastname. Maybe they’ll let me back on at some point this year, who knows.
You should’ve gone with @ realchucklastname - they’ll let you say whatever shit you like.
Based on some of the shit that I’ve seen on that medium, I wouldn’t have thought that anything short of snuff videos could get a user banned.
People get banned all the time on Twitter, partly through algorithm but also through people reporting a tweet. Despite this, It’s still, at least partly, an open air insane asylum.
For example, a user has posted the exact words of the President’s tweets and gotten banned for threatening violence.
Took one day, as I recall. He set up a new account and started re-typing Trump’s tweets. Classic.

I had accepted the explanation without caring too much about the whole thing. But here’s a picture of the noose:
Why someone would think a noose is an appropriate knot for a pull cord is beyond me. Wouldn’t it tighten around the person’s hand who is pulling it down?
I’m not crazy, because according to Nascar “[a]cross the 1,684 garage stalls at 29 tracks, NASCAR found only 11 total had a pull-down rope tied in a knot and only one noose — the one discovered Sunday in the No. 43 garage stall.”
It seems to be an amazing coincidence that someone would use a dangerous and unsuitable knot with stark racial overtones for a garage pull down that exists nowhere else in the sport other than in the garage that was assigned to the one black guy in the sport who had recently been outspoken about racial injustice.
I certainly understand why there was a dismayed reaction when it was discovered.

We don’t know how many nooses at other tracks were hastily untied when the one at Talladega hit the front page.
Were you never 11?
I’ve seen some of your tweets. I have a good idea.
Opinionated?
That was actually when I was at my peak knot tying.
Aggressively. But with the right amount restraint. Sometimes.
According to the department’s report (PDF), Piner’s camera was recording due to “accidental activation.” That activation ended up capturing Piner and two other officers, Jessie Moore and Brian Gilmore—all white—discussing Black members of the force as well as local protesters, using well-known racist slurs. At one point, Moore said a local magistrate, a Black woman, “needed a bullet in her head,” before the three discussed their feelings that a civil war was coming, for which all three claimed to be ready. “We are just gonna go out and start slaughtering them fucking n------s,” Piner added.
I’d just like to state for the record: Systematic racism is a hoax and the police have zero need for reform on any front.
It’s probably worth noting that departmental video camera operation training would be in order.
Man, I have a noose that was used as prop in a rock show. I guess it’s worthless now. Might as well untie it, then it will just be a rope that was used as a prop in a rock show. Whoop tee do!
What the fuck is wrong with you?!
It’s whoop DEE do!
I wish I was shocked over this. Thankfully these pieces of shit were fired, now there needs to be a law passed that will prevent them from ever being a cop or even a security guard.

A couple emerged from their mansion in St. Louis this weekend because there was a BLM protest passing by, and they each brought a friend along.
ST. LOUIS – A white couple pointed guns at protesters in St. Louis as a group marched toward the mayor’s home to demand her resignation after she read the names and addresses of several residents who supported defunding the police department during an online briefing.
A social media video showed the armed couple standing outside of their large home Sunday evening in the upscale Central West End neighborhood of the Missouri city.
In the video, the unidentified couple shouted at protesters, while people in the march moved the crowd forward, urging participants to ignore them. People in the crowd included Black and white protesters.
Ignoring the racial and legal issues here - of which there are many - anyone who has done any kind of gun safety training should be freaked out by the cavalier way these two idiots brandished their firearms, pointed them at people (and each other) and - in the woman’s case - did so with her finger inside the trigger guard.
