Below is interesting information released on the Perskeptical blog regarding James Holmes. The story sucked me in from day 1. The official story is too strange. The judicial handling of this case has been nothing more than yet another unwritten chapter from 1984. Read below, and if you are so inclined, read the entire piece linked up at the bottom.
In the wake of recent controversy surrounding the Sandy Hook conspiracy
theory, many will roll their eyes at the thought of another conspiracy
theory, and some are unsure what the Aurora conspiracy could even
be—given that the evidence against James Holmes, the lone suspect, has
seemed overwhelming from the start.
But when taking the time to examine the case further, as we'll do here,
the truth isn't so clear-cut. That's because the official story—that
Holmes acted alone in
killing 13 and wounding 58 others—is contradicted by the following questions:
- How do investigators account for two gas masks found at the scene that they say didn't belong to Holmes?
- How do investigators explain an orange duffel bag, gas can, and
second set of tactical gear found near where Holmes was arrested, but
not worn or used by him?
- How could Holmes have acted alone when multiple witnesses in Theater
9 said they saw or perceived multiple accomplices, and reported at
least two descriptions of said accomplices to police?
- How could Holmes have acted alone when multiple witnesses in
adjacent Theater 8 reported the detonation of a gas canister that was
coordinated with the attack in Theater 9?
Eyewitness #1: Steve Ostergaard
Teacher
Steve Ostergaard was sitting on the right side of Theater 8 with 10 of his students that night:
“About 20 minutes into the movie, there was a scene where they were in a
bar and there was gunfire about to start erupting. At that point, to
the right of us—right by the stairwell—all 12 of us heard hissing and
then started seeing smoke and we saw a boom and a flash. At that point
we heard what we thought were firecrackers.”
Ostergaard
continues:
“Was part of the stairwell blown off like I thought I saw? Because I saw
an explosion. So what really happened? Because it was dark in there.”
Eyewitness #2: Rachel Fedeli
Rachel Fedeili was also in Theater 8. Here’s
her account:
“We had heard about two pops, and then there was a big cloud of smoke. And then there was another pop and more smoke....”
Later
in the same clip, she mentions an important point that supports the
idea that the gas canister(s) thrown in Theater 8 were indeed separate
from the gas canister(s) thrown in Theater 9:
“We had no idea at all that there was anything happening in Theater 9—we
thought it was just in our theater. No one knew that there was
something else happening in the theater next to us.”
Eyewitness #3: Alex Milano
Theater 8 witness Alex Milano
told 9NEWS’ Brandon Rittiman:
“We were watching a scene in the movie—it was a shootout scene—there
were guns firing. And then a loud bangs came from the right of the
theater. Smoke took over the entire theater. It was really thick, and no
one could really see anything.”
Eyewitness #4: Obed Sanchez
It’s unclear where Obed Sanchez was sitting in Theater 8, but he also
describes an explosion that took place inside his theater:
"There were explosions behind me, and there was dust, but I thought it was just a normal practical joke—fireworks or something.”
Eyewitness #5: Quentin Caldwell
Testimony from Theater 8 moviegoer Quentin Caldwell reinforces the idea that there may have been two gunmen:
“You know, right before we tried to exit the theater, and then all of the sudden somebody ran in and said, '
Don't go in the lobby—he's in the lobby.'
And somebody else tried to go outside, and they shut the doors. I don't
know why, but they said, 'He's outside.' So we were scared—we didn't
know if there was more than one.”
