The door pull was tied in that knot for at least 8 months, who knows, maybe many more. How many people saw it and/or pulled it to raise/lower the door? A few? A dozen? More? How many were offended by it and felt they needed to raise a stink? 1... Some folks lives revolve around seeking ways to be offended. It’s sad but true.
On a side note, is it now a crime to tie a noose knot? What law is that breaking? It’s a knot that is useful on occasion. Used a lot more than for just hanging. I haven’t seen that using that tie is a crime, but I won’t be surprised if new laws are pushed soon...
