**UltraVires** wants Bubba Wallace to pay for falsely reporting the noose that was found in his garage (but turned out to be a false alarm)  
(Not sure if link will come through; phone posting is tricky)

The guy sees a door pull and goes ape shit and reports that it is a noose, upsetting the public, upsetting the sport, and involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation over a fucking garage door pull. There are riots going on out there and how much more destruction of property does he want to occur because either: 1) He’s an idiot, or 2) he purposely misreported this for more headlines.

Then, after **China\_Guy** sets him straight that Bubba didn’t find it or report it, his team member did, UV doubles down.
