Did someone just leave a whip outside my house/BLM sign?

Bob White · Sep 30, 2020

Was heading out this morning and saw this in our driveway.

I'd say I'm looking too much into this but... who the fuck drops a random whip looking thing into someone else's driveway? I legit don't know what it is? Is it a horse whip? Like, what in the fucking hell? Should... I call the cops?

Even if just some kids fucking around I'm fucking pissed as hell at this shit.

Deleted member 2802 · Sep 30, 2020

idk the meaning of the whip, but I'm glad some of my neighbors have BLM signs up
nobody is fucking with them either

Perhaps a lion tamer was caught in a strong wind? 😬

PeakPointMatrix · Sep 30, 2020

Uhhh what the fuck.

I guess I don't know what a whip looks like, I thought it was just the small handle and the "whip" part. Didn't know it had a long stick part. Is there any practical use for a whip today I'm not thinking of (horses?? but that seems cruel?). Having trouble imagining how this happened and why someone would have one randomly and drop it right there of all places.

Maybe it's a giant cat toy?

NinjaGarden · Sep 30, 2020

Do the last thing they expect you to do. Stand outside and whip stuff for fun.

Sidebuster · Sep 30, 2020

looks like a cat toy. Edit: is it a bdsm thing?

overcast · Sep 30, 2020

Wtf is that thing? Lol

take_marsh · Sep 30, 2020

That's strange and suspicious as heck.

At the very least: free whip?

Whip, slavery?

Joni · Sep 30, 2020

Looks to be a bull whip.

Gentleman Farmer · Sep 30, 2020

It looks like a lunging whip for a horse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDhXhGNB-jg

Zvonimir Boban · Sep 30, 2020

I'm not sure what kind of neighbourhood you live in and how many people have whips but in my opinion it would have to be a pretty unlikely confluence of events for a whip to accidentally end up in a driveway that has a black lives matter sign.

As far as calling the cops, they aren't gonna do shit.

Shelbyville Milhouse · Sep 30, 2020

Write "thanks for the free whip!" in giant letters somewhere, just to piss off whoever did this

kess · Sep 30, 2020

Get a camera

PMS341 · Sep 30, 2020

Hit some Proud Boys with that tbh

Only in self defense of course

Weebos · Sep 30, 2020

Looks more like a cat toy than a whip, but I'm not well versed in modern whip technology.

Weird thing to leave outside somebody's home, hopefully it's more coincidental than malicious.

Setting up a camera may be a good idea.

Kinthey · Sep 30, 2020

In the first picture it looks more like a fishing pole

rpm · Sep 30, 2020

I'm not gonna lie, I'd be pretty scared if someone did that to me. Definitely seems targeted, unless there's some more reasonable explanation of how a horse whip got onto your property

I don't know if the cops would do anything. I'd get cameras if you don't already have them

Heynongman! · Sep 30, 2020

I think this most likely fell out of a truck, you got any horse farms near by?

Also - install a camera.

NinjaGarden · Sep 30, 2020

Looks like a halter training whip for horses. Not really what I'd expect to see as an intimidation tool.

But then again neither was a tiki torch.

are there a lot of horses in your area OP? Any possibility someone could have dropped it without noticing?

Pasha · Sep 30, 2020

Yeah that doesn't look like a whip to me, looks like a huge cat toy or some kind of fishing pol, I don't think whips are supposed to have such long handles.

angelgrievous · Sep 30, 2020

I would say this is probably because of the BLM sign and yes, that is a whip. Cops won't do anything. Maybe get a camera.

Deleted member 4212 · Sep 30, 2020

Could be. There are plenty of racists around.

On the plus side you got a free whip

Google "lunge whip".

Hmmm, so it's not some cat toy.

AtomLung · Sep 30, 2020

That is a pretty abstract message to send, but certainly possible. People are weird and racist.

xxracerxx · Sep 30, 2020

Sex toy.

Was going to say this. They can also be pricey, so I don't think someone purposely left it there...but I don't know your neighborhood.

Citizencope · Sep 30, 2020

I'd say it's related.
Call the local news not the cops.🤷🏻‍♂️

If you really want to get them, add "Your mom will like this too"

brotherbean · Sep 30, 2020

Grew up and worked in/around agriculture in the Midwest - that's a livestock whip. We used it to herd pigs from one barn or pen to the next.

Obviously I can't chime in on the intent behind its presence outside your house (though I'd reeeaaaally like to), but I thought I'd clarify exactly what it is since it doesn't seem to be common knowledge.

dallow_bg · Sep 30, 2020

Cool new toy.
I'd keep it.

For real, if anything the cops probably put it there themselves lol.

I live in Lake Stevens, a woodland-ish area north of Seattle. Tons of trucks and random Trump signs every now and then. I think there's probably a horse ranch or whatever around but I'm not sure.

Ohh damn, that definitely looks like what the OP found 🤔

The whip(training stick): why do we use it?

An important aid with horse training is a whip. The whip is a means of communication and not a means of punishment! It is used as an extension of your body...

Appears to be a horse training whip? I don't ride or train horses.

Chances are they're dumb, racist white trash.

It doesn't necessarily conclude either way but it does at least explain the availability of the item.

Gentleman Farmer · Sep 30, 2020

They're not terribly expensive, usually $30 or less. You could see if there's a horse tack consignment shop near you that would sell it for you.

Introvert · Sep 30, 2020

Yeah. I'd call local news.

There are a ton of horse training facilities in your area, but that's still really weird.

Might as well be Indiana Jones for Halloween now and punch some Nazis.

Vulcano's Assistant · Sep 30, 2020

Of course it is not going to be the "right" type of whip that was used on people.

Whether it is a sex toy or for riding, it is probably a whip that you can easily buy and is probably inexpensive. The point is, that if someone purposely left it there to be recognizable as a whip the message doesn't change.

Gentleman Farmer · Sep 30, 2020

You don't take those riding though. The only reason I could think someone would accidentally drop it there is if it fell off a horse trailer going by (occasionally people leave stuff on the outside of the trailer, oops), or if it was being used for driving a horse-drawn cart & they dropped it. But you'd think they'd notice in that case. Doesn't seem likely someone walking by would accidentally drop it.

Pororoka · Sep 30, 2020

Do you like Castlevania? Hunting Dracula is now your job.

Seriously, I hope this is just a big coincidence and not something targeted at you. Get a camera asap.

daveo42 · Sep 30, 2020

That's seems like an expensive way to intimidate your neighbors. Is it high quality, OP or something cheap that seems to have come off of Amazon?

timshundo · Sep 30, 2020

Take it, learn to use it, practice in your front yard so if they're spying you can show them how you can now whip their ass

Did someone just leave a whip outside my house/BLM sign?
