GUNMAN KILLS 12, WOUNDS 50 AT THE DARK KNIGHT RISES PREMIERE IN AURORA, COLORADO

COMMENT:

College dropout decides to do a 3 gun match on a bunch of innocent moviegoers at a midnight movie.

Innocent

Unarmed

Unsuspecting

Americans.

Holmes has now become the new poster child for gun control-remember also that Littleton isn't too far from there. Remember THAT?

This bastard aims a well-planned and executed attack on ordinary Americans-Americans already taxed and controlled and who now will bleat for even more control and pay more taxes and submit to more obedience training from psychopaths.

Expect a new push for gun control, but also expect a new front: tactical training will be banned for civilians. This motherfucker performed way too well without both marksmanship and tactical training.

Get your training, your DVDs, your weapons NOW. Buy with cash, leave out your name. Buy airsoft replicas of your weapons. Train in SECRET, you will now have enhanced scrutiny. Read "How To Start A Militia-And Get Away With It" and "Second American Revolution Victory Guide 2.0".

Don't forget: the enemy just loves a nut going off shooting random, innocent people, it drives the rest of the herd to embrace more slavery.

I also find it profound that Holmes chose the midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises; a movie about Batman taking on Bane, a terrorist himself.

AURORA, Colo. | Fri Jul 20, 2012 3:10pm EDT

(Reuters) - A gunman in a gas mask and body armor killed 12 people at a midnight premiere of the new "Batman" movie in a suburb of Denver early on Friday, sparking pandemonium when he hurled a gas canister into the auditorium and opened fire on moviegoers.

Armed with an assault rifle, a shotgun and a pistol, he wounded another 59 with gunfire during a screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" at a mall in the suburb of Aurora, which turned into a chaotic scene of bleeding victims, horrified screams and pleas of "I'm hit, help me," witnesses said.

The suspect, identified by police as James Eagan Holmes, 24, also booby-trapped his Aurora apartment with sophisticated explosives, creating a hazard for law-enforcement and bomb squad officers who swarmed to the scene.

Authorities evacuated five nearby buildings, and created a perimeter of several blocks.

Arriving on the scene within 90 seconds of the first emergency calls, officers immediately took the suspect into custody in the parking lot behind the cinema, where he surrendered without a fight, Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said.

The suspect was armed with an AR-15 assault rifle, a 12 gauge shotgun and a Glock .40 caliber handgun, Oates said. Police found an additional .40 gauge handgun in his car parked just outside the rear entrance to the cinema, Oates said.

Holmes is a University of Colorado medical school student who was in the process of dropping out of a graduate program in neurosciences, the university said in a statement.

His family issued a statement of sympathy for the victims and asked for privacy while they "process this information."


Holmes had only a speeding ticket on his criminal record and was dressed in black with a gas mask, ballistic helmet, vest, throat guard and crotch guard, Oates said.

The living room of the suspect's apartment was crisscrossed with trip wires connected to what appeared to be plastic bottles containing an unknown liquid, said Chris Henderson, Aurora's deputy fire chief. Authorities planned to detonate the suspected explosives with a robot, he said.

"The pictures are fairly disturbing. It looks very sophisticated, how it's booby-trapped. It could be a very long wait," Oates said.

SCENE OF BLOODY CHAOS

The gunman appeared at the front of the theater during the movie and released a canister which let out a hissing sound before gunfire erupted, police said.

"When we got out of the theater it was just chaos. There was this one guy on all fours, crawling. There was this girl spitting up blood," witness Donovan Tate told KCNC television. "There were bullet holes in some people's backs, some people's arms. There was this one guy who was stripped down to just his boxers. It looked like he was shot in the back or something. It was crazy."

Confusion reigned as shooting broke out during an action scene in the summer blockbuster, one of the more highly anticipated films of the year. The gunman may have blended in with other moviegoers who wore costumes as heroes and villains.

"He looked like he was in the military or like he was a SWAT person so he just kind of blended in with the chaos of the crowd. People thought he was probably like a cop or something," witness Jennifer Seeger told NBC's "Today."

Chandler Brannon, 25, who had been watching the movie with his girlfriend, said that about 20 minutes into the movie he saw a smoke bomb go off and heard what sounded like fireworks. He later realized they were a rapid volley of gunshots.

"I told my girlfriend to just play dead," he told Reuters. "All I could see was a silhouette."

SNIP


MEMORIES OF COLUMBINE

The shooting evoked memories of the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School in Littleton, also a Denver suburb and 17 miles from Aurora, where two students opened fire and killed 12 students and a teacher.

Bodies of victims remained in the theater while the investigation continued with some 200 local police, 100 FBI investigators and 25 representatives of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on scene, officials said.

U.S. military personnel apparently were among the casualties but it was not immediately clear whether any were killed, the Defense Department said.

"gun free" theater by Cinemark policy

My good friends daughter was in the next theater when she came out she said there was an army of cops and people wondering around with other peoples blood on them.

No word yet on if the shooter had any previous mental health issues or was under a doctors care at the time.

He told police his room was full of explosive,booby trapped to detonate.

Local news is saying,his room was full of soda bottles filled with liquid.

If the bottle are fill with liquid fertilizer type explosives,that's one thing.But,if the bottle is are filled with a Binary type liquid explosive, that's way beyond a backyard anarchists cookbook...

Gunman has ties to "OCCUPY"!...

Neck, Body, Crotch, and leg Armour plus ballistic helmet and gas mask.

He was prepared for just buying all this gear including weapons in the last 6 months - according to the cops.

Of course the Media Whores are making the fact that he bought ~6000 rounds over the internet including Mags & Clips.

I will bet that he was doped and trained - Not your normal action for a high end Med student.

The Media Whores just said that the shooter had made some Odd comments when he was in 7th / 8th grades.

wow.

All gun free zones should be avoided by lawful folks.

Including government buildings.

I heard some twit on msnbc comparing gun ownership to drivers licenses he went on to say you shouldn't have a gun unless you've been trained. I thought for a second and said yes I agree! Except. The government should pay for the training and all citizens should learn how to handle a weapon and carry one too.

Ya know...actually the twit is right and doesn't even realize it.

The founding fathers were very clear that the right to keep and bear was also a duty of citizenship. Back then everyone was required by law to arm and equip themselves and attend regular musters and training.

that's what I thought.

Something stinks with this whole mess, writing is on the wall,fence walkers will all cave,Obama could not PAY for PR like this,and the timeing. Anyone that does a thing like this shooter is a coward plain and simple, also heard he was a registered Democrat. I'm praying for those families.

Mighty fishy that this occurred just days before the anticipated signing of the UN Treaty. J.Croft is absolutely correct that this will have far-reaching implications for Gun Owners across the Fruited Plain.
Prayers for those affected.

An Honers Medical Student working on his Masters in Neuro-something or other...

Suddenly drops out, buys 6000 rounds and 4 guns plus explosive material to wire up his apartment,and full Tactical outfit...

Yup.
His eyes have that same look as the guy that shot the congress women in Arizona.

And then this from a witness:
http://www.genuinewitty.com/2012/07/21/video-indicates-james-holmes-may-have-had-an-accomplice/

Don't know what everyone's opinion of this news station is, but to me this seems to come just way too close to the time when the UN is working on their small arms treaty. This is just fuel for their fire.

http://www.naturalnews.com/036536_James_Holmes_shooting_false_flag.html

Remember, the guy is alive and the police are squeezing him right now. Locals have him and when you have a bodycount like that you just can't contain a situation very well by having some "Men In Black" show up, wave credentials and claim they now own the case. Maybe 30 years ago, but now, everyone is going to be suspicious and will take a crack at the guy.

I think it is a big deal that his apartment did not self destruct and destroy evidence of what he was up to over the last few months and a lot more information will be forthcoming. Coming to absolute conclusions now that get shot down later will just make you look stupid.

Someone is right in noting that the guy apparently spent a lot of money on hardware in the last few months and was equipped like some of our guys spend a few years getting together. Estimates are in the $10K to 20K which is not exactly "broke medical student" turf.

Supposedly there are ties to "occupy" but why not a raid on a bank? Stock brokerage? A 101 California street type thing? Occupy has plenty of their own enemies lists and I don't remember crowded movie theater full of random people being among them.

The glassy eyed stare a common result of classic level 4 mental conditioning.The eyes actual "blink" less then normal when the mind has reached it's "breaking point"(first the subjects basic personality is broken then rebuilt to suit the operators needs).After ward,the tear ducts try to over compensate for the lank of adequate blinking of the eye per/min.

Yeah, I knew crazy ass killer types like that, most of those guys have no problem staring you down without blinking.

New info is that this guy played MMO games, and I got info from another source a couple days ago that someone from Homeland Security was getting all sorts of inquisitive about some group that apparently has been in communication with each other through MMO game chats, like all going to the same room in the game which automatically puts you in a closed chat.

His room was blown...They say it was to dangerous to enter.Never knew a Bombsquad to scared to do their job.Some said it would go like that before hand,so they would destroy evidence.Not sure about that one,but all the guys I knew that did UDX work didn't mind walking in a room full of bombs.They did take their time of course.

We have to look closely at this guy.
His described discipline was "Neuroscience" when I first heard him described he was working in "Temporal Theory".
Unless my dictionary is faulty he was engaged in a PHD program in "Mind Control".
The question is "Who's program", "Who was the fund source", and lastly how did it connect with the "Occupy Wall street " faction?
Then lets look at the crime scene!
1. He walked into the show and bought a ticket.
2. Then he exited by a rear door? In every theatre in America there is an alarm on the rear doors to prevent people without tickets getting inside.
3. He walked to his car geared up and re-entered the Theatre by a door with an alarm on it.
4. He began shooting people after walking up to the front seats where you will probably have people screaming at him to sit the F#$% down.
Does this basically show a problem with the media scenario we are being sold?

...and after he was done,
5.) He walked back to his car where he ALLOWED police to apprehend him (don't these types usually want to "go out in a blaze of glory" or simply take thier own lives confirming the coward they are inside?)
6.) He told LE that his apartment was booby-trapped. (again, don't these "intelligent-educated" types desire to inflict the most damage over a maximum area?)
NONE of this adds-up in a non-policital or rational context.
The renewed cries for gun control are now even coming from that corrupt idiot running mexico.
Readiness must be our constant state of mind,

Guy was Occupier, member of The Black Bloc but Quit because it was not radical enough,Pictures of him being arrested in SanDiego Occupy rally,He blogged his intentions to the tee, Said he was going to kill everyone at Bat man opening.

Have you got a link to that info D308cat?

Find me the links when you can on the temporal theory and anything to do with quantum physics this guy might have been studying.

This shit never happens in places like Wisconsin, North Dakota or Iowa where they have like zero CIA/NSA MK Ultra shit going on, but Colorado is ground zero central for a lot of that shit.

I remember some stuff out of the UK years ago where some terrorist groups had gotten a hold of some source literature on mind control work done in the UK and Europe shortly after WW2, and then some of the groups were supposedly trained by the KGB on how to just pick someone up off the street, program them and send them out to commit an act. The US government is not the only player out there (by a long shot) who could pull this off.

Guy goes and joins Occupy, disappears for a while, and gets programmed/trained/equipped. Just because the people doing it spoke good English is not always a clear indication they are American. Look at all of those people on Russia Today who talk like they grew up in California. The only thing is you look at pictures of the shooter going way back, and it seems like he looked a bit crazy to begin with.

It has been a long time since I read up on that, but I remember the old KGB operations template was for someone who was already a sympathizer of sorts to be the subject of suicide trooper programming. Instructions in the book had a requirement for operatives to do some screening of subjects since you never know what you are getting if you just pick someone up off the street although the original high end goal of the British research was to see how well it would work with entirely random people. The KGB were not nearly as optimistic of their own ability to pull it off, so their books had a bunch on pre-screening subjects, with an emphasis for picking up smarter people because they tend to be more imaginative and receptive to hypnosis.

Don't forget, Ali Agca was programmed by a franchise of the KGB, with a paper thin cover story of being an Islamic extremist. Occupy has had communist connections from day one.

Occupy funding can be traced more or less directly back to the DNC, Nancy P., Barack O., and Goerge Soros and the entire leftwing Corperations and there spin off companies and organizations.

here is one link Bill Warner Privit Investigator At http://www.wbipi.com/ Or go to Powerlinenewsnetwork.com

Yes,and that is just the type psyc profile the enemy looks for to condition for this kind of black op....

We can expect the Black Block to play a major in the street chaos during the final collapse!

Also this Guy had Graduated with a degree in nueroscience but could not find work,and took a job at McDonalds,Then he moved to Colorado and went for the Phd,How many of these frustrated college grads are out there with no hope of employment in there field, Tens or even Hundreds of thousands I suspect. Sounds like Timebombs to me, and just the begining(The begining of sorrows) now where have I heard that before.

Witness: Someone let gunman inside Colorado movie theater

AURORA, CO -- A man who was at the Colorado movie theater where a dozen people were killed this morning, says he saw the gunman.

He says he thinks someone deliberately let the gunman inside once the movie started.

Here's what he told TV station KCNC this morning live on their newscast.

Expanded coverage

"As I was sitting down to get my seat, I noticed that a person came up to the front row, the front right, sat down, and as credits were going, it looked like he got a phone call. He went out toward the emergency exit doorway, which I thought was unusual to take a phone call. And it seemed like he probably pried it open, or probably did not let it latch all the way. As soon as the movie started, somebody came in, all black, gas mask, armor, and threw a gas can into the audience, and it went off, and then there were gunshots that took place."

Police arrested 24-year-old James Holmes of Aurora, Colorado, for the shootings.

At least 12 people were killed and 38 others wounded when the gunman opened fire during the midnight screening of the newest Batman film, "The Dark Knight Rises."

CNN


Is there ANYONE who can say the accused was in fact the person in the theater that did the shooting, or did they just see some one in coustume, then identify "someone," more than likly the only one left, in coustume after the shooting?

Real life shooting imitates training exercise at Parker medical school

The tragedy that played out in an Aurora movie theater Friday was ironically paralleled as a classroom learning experience in a medical school in Parker the same day.

Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine is in the middle of holding specialized classes in disaster life support for 150 second-year medical students. Along with response to natural disasters like hurricanes and floods and terrorist attacks, one of the scenarios being used to train the students is how to respond if a shooter fires at people in a movie theater and also uses a bomb in the attack.

"The irony is amazing, just amazing," said Rocky Vista Dean Dr. Bruce Dubin.

He said emergency specialist physicians from Parkland Hospital in Dallas as well as from several other emergency programs around the country are teaching the Advanced Disaster Life Support Training. Rocky Vista is the only medical school in the nation to make that training a part of the curriculum.

"They are trained to respond in every type of disaster," Dubin said.

The shootings in Aurora were incorporated into the teaching Friday, Dubin said.

"It made these medical students very aware that these kinds of things can happen anywhere," he said. "The events of this tragedy have helped to drive that home."

James Holmes sat in CO.courtroom today,with a look of "disbelief" on his face.As well as,appearing to be in the recovery phase of a heavy dose of drugs.This maybe the result of a drug administered to him at the jail facility(not SOP).But,that and the near comical look of the suspect gives rise to more questions then answers at this point.If some one wanted to create a "media circus" around this case.They're off to a good start.

The guy was definitely looking like "ohshitoshitoshit what did I do? uh, I don't feel like I am dreaming any more..."

It's going to be another mess.

I was thinking the exact same thing about his look Breacher.

Democracy now ( Gag Yac) is doing a bang-up gun ban piece tonight.

Man is this guy - Shooter - Doped Up. They are showing his first court appearance. He can hardly even hold his head up or eyes open. Looks like he has no idea what happened or what he did.

And he has not 1 but 2 public defenders "Helping" him.

It is a death penalty case, so they are obligated to put a relatively competent team of public defenders on it. People might bitch about the amount of money spent on the defense, but it is already going to be people who collect a paycheck for these sorts of things anyway.

News commentary on MSNBC is that the prosecution team put together for this one is specialized in Colorado for death penalty cases. They apparently work separately most of the time, but are brought together when the AG there wants to push for the death penalty.

They will most likely be going for the insanity defense (that's not hard to figure). I am going to be really really curious about this one and how it plays out, because another hunch about this one smells a little more like hocus pocus spiritual realm type stuff.

You compare this guy to a straight up demon-host like Richard Ramirez, Ramirez to this day looks like his demons are right in there. This Colorado shooter guy, crazy as a moon bat in earlier pictures (demon host), now is like "ohshitoshitoshit", like as soon as it was done making him do what he did, the demon bailed and watches him mockingly through the eyes and actions of other people.

plus add-in a no-cc city too ! may i add this is called evolution of a degrading nation to the pray vs. predator mind set !

NO CCW = SITTING DUCKS

So what exactly happened to the two extra bodies? First they were reporting 14 dead, now they've all changed their reports to 12 dead. How do you miscount something like that? Did they just somehow LOSE the two bodies? Or were the two bodies two other shooters that the ring-knockers don't want us to know about?

Getting their "story" right.

Two shooters and a third person in the theater(opened the door) reported by eyewitness' to police at the scene.Official reports vary and leave out any other individuals but the red haired clown sitting in jail wondering where he is.Things are beginning to add up.James Holmes is the son of a man that was to speak on the LIBOR scandal before congress...

Hmmm...Two birds(political enemy/gun control) with one stone.

UPDATES: http://freedomguide.blogspot.com/2012/07/evidence-batman-massacre-was-setup.html

They also said he had 100 round drum in the AR. Pic looks like a 30 round mag to me.

That 'drum' may have been a 60 round or 100 round Surefire mag. They look alot like regular 30 round mags, just longer and fatter.

And as usual, the media doesn't know its hind quarters from a hole in the ground. What else is new?

Yeah, I've now zoomed in, thats a USGI 30 round mag. Drum my left testicle.

No they don't. I blew that pic up pretty big, it looks like a brand new 30 round mag to me not that long or fat.

If he switched guns because of a " malfunction " why change mags?

Looks like he(they) switched more then guns...

Moneys on James Holmes is already dead and clown boy dying soon in custody(Oswald syndrome),then they switch the bodies for DNA testing.

Only place I could find this pic...It probably wont be up for long.

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...256791.2072133.1078414809&type=1&theater

this is why they pulled the cameras out of the court room and "SEALED" all the court records(evidence).There was at least two shooters and the clown head wasn't either one of them,and he isn't even James Holmes.The son of Robert Holmes,who was scheduled to testify within the next few weeks before a US Senate panel on the LIBOR bank fraud scandal that is currently unfolding and threatens to destabilize and destroy the Western banking system. Robert Holmes, whose “blueblood” family links go back to the Mayflower, is known throughout the global banking community as being the creator of one of the most sophisticated computer algorithms ever developed and is credited with developing predictive models for financial services; credit and fraud risk models, first and third party application fraud models and internet/online banking fraud models.

Educated at the University of California, Berkeley and Stanford University, Robert Holmes is currently the senior lead scientist with the American credit score company FICO, which was formally known as Fair, Isaac and Company, and which every American citizen is beholden to should they need to borrow money."

Interesting photo. Surprised its still up, CIAbook is getting slow.

BAHHH - The Olympics are on and Iran took down the twin towers.....

The best ongoing analysis of this shooting incident I've seen yet:

http://www.naturalnews.com/036536_James_Holmes_shooting_false_flag.html

I agree with this analysis that it was staged. Kind of like 9/11, there are too many things that don't add up to the random-act-of-violence angle and those same things do add up to this being a staged terrorist attack.

Not able to post a link yet ...But,there is some major discrepancies between the eyewitness statements in field report(s) and the official report.

Also,radio chatter that night had the cops finding the suspect(clown head) in the car(no blood on him) and others saying,"No,victims saw the shooter go down the next street,we going there now"...

Cops were told not talk to the media.Also,witness' were told the samething,and if they do the shooter will get off.

Robert Holmes - LinkedIn

Part of the story seems to check out. I can't verify the part about him writing some super secret squirrel code or being scheduled to testify before a Senate committee.

Very interesting all the same. And it wouldn't surprise me if it were all true.

Many questions here to be sure.


But the big question is,who's sitting in jail?The before and after shoots don't match up!

Nurse Who “Saw Everything” At Hospital After Suspicious Batman Shooting Found Dead at 46

TheEndRun.com
Aug 17, 2012

Jenny Gallagher, a nurse who treated victims of the highly suspicious “Batman” shooting in Aurora, Colorado last month, is dead at age 46. The reported cause of death: drowning.

“She worked the morning after the Batman massacre in a very busy unit of the hospital — so she saw everything really, some really bad injuries,” her husband Greg reportedly told Ireland’s Herald earlier today.

The mass-shooting, which left 12 dead and 58 more injured at a midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises at Century theater, is widely suspected to have been a black operation (akin to Columbine or the Sikh Temple shooting) based on the available evidence, numerous inconsistencies and implausibilities in the “official story”, the timing, and the way the event has been framed (some would say exploited) by certain powerful interests in the media and political arena.

U.C.H. HEROINE MEETS OBAMA

Jennifer Ann Gallagher (“Jenny”) lived in Denver and worked at the University of Colorado Hospital (UCH), where the largest share of the victims of the shooting were taken in the aftermath of the July 20th theater massacre. On July 22nd, Barack Obama personally visited the hospital to meet with the victims and staff. In a speech, Obama praised the UCH staff for their “extraordinary efforts”. As he spoke, he was flanked by Colorado Governor Hickenlooper, Aurora Police chief Oats, and several Congressmen.

A photo taken during Obama’s visit shows Gallagher just feet from Obama. This was just over two weeks before her death.

WHEN AND WHERE: THE SCANT EARLY REPORTS OF GALLAGHER’S DEATH

Gallagher was actually found dead ten days ago, on August 7th. Despite recent conflicting and incorrect reports about the location (multiple reports say it was in Colorado, while another says Ohio), The End Run has determined that she was actually found dead in Okoboji Lake, which is in Dickson County, Iowa, about 700 miles from her home town of Denver by car.

Within 24 hours or less of the discovery of her body, a short blurb about the death, which did not identify her by name, was published by the Associated Press and picked up by several local media outlets. It read:

Drowning reported at West Okoboji Lake

OKOBOJI, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say someone has drowned at West Okoboji Lake in northwest Iowa.

The Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office said officers responded to a report of a drowning a little after noon on Tuesday.

The office hasn’t released the victim’s name or any other details about the drowning.

On the morning of August 8th, the day after her body was reportedly discovered, the Dickson County Sheriff’s office issued a press release (cache) identifying Gallagher as the victim (although they misspelled her name) and providing a few additional details:

Victim identified in West Okoboji drowning

Published on Wednesday, 08 August 2012 06:30

On Tuesday, August 7, the Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office responded to a drowning on West Lake Okoboji. An investigation found that Jennifer Galagher, age 46, from Denver, Colorado, had been swimming the previous night in West Lake. On Tuesday morning, Galagher was reported missing by family.

A short time later, a family member located Galagher underneath a nearby dock. Medical personnel responded and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Assisting the DCSO were:

* Milford Fire/Rescue
* Arnolds Park/Okoboji Dive Team
* Lakes Regional Healthcare Ambulance

The incident remains under investigation by the Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office.

The AP then published another blurb based on this press release, which was reworked and/or republished by numerous local media outlets, primarily in Iowa, where she was found dead, and in Denver, Colorado, where she lived. However, none of the short stories published in the local press at the time appear to have mentioned her connection to the then-highly-topical “Batman shooting”, or virtually any biographical information about her. The death of this national heroine does not appear to have been picked up at all by the major U.S. national media. [Note: If this is incorrect, please send in links to the relevant stories by e-mail.]

DELAYED REVELATION

Yesterday, nine days after her body was found, an article was published by Ireland’s Herald which finally revealed some information about Gallagher and broke the story of her status as a UCH nurse and witness to the bloody aftermath of the carnage in Aurora.

This revelation has since been picked up and reported on by several other Irish sites, such as Ireland’s Independent.ie and the Irish-America IrishCentral.com, as well as the UK-based Belfast Telegraph. However, as of this writing there still do not appear to be any reports by the major U.S. national media.

Gallagher grew up in Ireland, but has reportedly lived in Denver since moving there for college in the 1990′s.

CAUSE OF DEATH: THE ALLEGED DROWNING

To review: According to the initial press release by the Dickson County Sheriff’s office, Gallagher went swimming in West Lake Okoboji on the evening on Monday, August 6th, and didn’t come back. The next morning she was reported missing by her family members. “A short time later, a family member located Galagher [sic] underneath a nearby dock. Medical personnel responded and she was pronounced dead at the scene.”

Ireland’s Herald.ie, who, again, revealed the Gallagher/Batman shooting connection yesterday, apparently conducted an exclusive interview with Gallagher’s husband Greg Pinson today, and they have now published a second article based upon it. Mr. Pinson is a surgeon with Surgical Specialists of Colorado. According to his curriculum vitae posted to the firm’s website, he received his undergraduate degree from Yale in 1994, his Doctorate from GWU in 1998, and did his residency at the University of Colorado School of Medicine through 2003. He is quoted by the Herald as having been married to Jenny for seven years. They have a five year old son, Jack.

Regarding the question of how Jenny died, the new Herald article says (cache):

Greg explained that the family had travelled [sic] to nearby Ohio [sic] for a holiday when Jenny tragically drowned.

He and Jack had gone to sleep when Jenny and her friend decided to take a boat out on to a lake.

“She wasn’t a very strong swimmer and I suppose she just wasn’t able to stay afloat.

“The hardest thing is I may never know what really happened to Jenny.”

Before analyzing this, let’s get a critical caveat out of the way: It is very difficult to discern the truth when dealing with second-hand media snippets like these, which are liable to contain misquotes, out of context quotes, misleading statements, and other misinformation. For example, the first Herald article incorrectly said that Gallagher drowned in “a lake close to her home”. The second article says that it was a lake in “nearby Ohio”. Besides the fact that Ohio is 1000+ miles from Denver, and thus not “nearby” at all, Gallagher was actually found in a lake in Iowa, which is also nowhere near Denver.

With that said, taken at face value, these two short accounts of Jenny Gallagher’s death (Sheriff’s Office and The Herald) seem to raise a number of questions:

1. Was she really not “a very strong swimmer”? Is her husband even correctly quoted on this matter by the Herald (who seem to have misquoted him elsewhere)? Jenny was 46 years old and a formidable athlete. She had been playing Gaelic football for over a decade, having competed in the North American finals in 2000. Recently, she and her teammates on the Denver Gaels ladies football team competed in a tournament at the Colorado Irish Festival, which they won, beating teams from San Fransisco and Dallas. A tribute published in the club’s newsletter says that “memories of trips with the Gaels” such as “surfing in Costa Rica” would not “have been so fond had Jenny not been there”.

2. Why, while vacationing out of state, did Jenny decide to take a boat out onto a lake, at night, after her husband and son had already gone to bed, especially if she “wasn’t a very strong swimmer”?

3. If she did decide to do that, wouldn’t she at least wear a life vest?

4. Who is this friend that was allegedly with her? Why is this friend not identified by name? Why has this friend not been mentioned in previous reports?

5. If she did drown at night while boating with a “friend”, why were police and rescue crews not notified until the following day? The original Sheriff’s office press release said that she was “reported missing by family” the following “morning”. The initial AP report put the time even later – “a little after noon” — and The Spencer Daily Reporter wrote on Aug 9th that, “Emergency crews recieved a 911 distress call at 12:45 p.m.” If a “friend” was out on the lake boating with Jenny and she disappeared in the water, wouldn’t this friend immediately rush to notify her husband and/or any other family member that may have been present, and wouldn’t they immediately alert rescue crews (assuming the friend hadn’t already)? Why did this apparently not happen?

6. If Jenny was out boating with a friend, disappeared in the water, and was later found drowned, why would her husband say, “The hardest thing is I may never know what really happened to Jenny”?

7. Who was the family member that located Jenny’s body under the dock? He or she apparently did so shortly after notifying authorities that she was “missing”, possibly even within minutes. The unnamed family member was apparently able to find her before professionally trained rescue crews. In fact, according to the Spencer Daily Reporter, this family member may have even “located” her before the crews could even begin searching: “Arnolds Park/Okoboji Fire Chief Christ Yungbluth said his department’s dive team did not have to conduct a search. … Resuce teams were on hand for nearly an hour but once they arrived at the scene, Galagher was pronounced dead.” West Okoboji Lake is approximately 3,847 acres in surface area. The Daily Reporter said that she was specifically found “in the area near Wheeler’s Beach just off of 1st Street in the city of West Okoboji.”

THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE IS MUM; APPARENTLY GALLAGHER’S DEATH IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION

In an attempt to obtain answers to these questions and clarification about the facts surrounding Jenny Gallagher’s death, The End Run contacted the Dickson County Sheriff’s Office by phone this evening (Friday).

The woman who answered the phone was familiar with the case, but refused to answer any questions about Jennifer Gallagher’s death. This included a direct question as to whether or not Gallagher was boating with another individual that night as reported by the Herald. The woman referenced the August 8th press release posted to the Sheriff’s website, firmly stating that she could not provide any information besides what was contained in that report.

When asked if she could at least confirm whether or not the incident was (still) under investigation, she again referred me to the press release from nine days ago, which says, “The incident remains under investigation by the Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office”.

CONCLUSION

Given the suspicious nature of the “Batman” shooting, Jenny’s (heroic) involvement in the rescue operation at the hospital, and the timing of her unnatural death, it is only logical for researchers who understand government black operations (and corresponding cover-ups) to treat it as a potential homicide, and seek further information that confirms or refutes this hypothesis. This does not mean that it was a homicide. Accidents happen. This may have been a heartbreaking example of one. However, the publicly-available information about this death is relatively thin at this point, and it contains significant apparent contradictions and problems. Further investigation is needed by the independent media.

According to accounts written by those who knew her, Jenny Gallagher was an amazing woman; a loving mother and wife, an excellent nurse, and a person whose personality and kindness brought joy into the lives of those around her. Regardless of the cause, her untimely death is a tragedy, and my condolences go out to the many friends and family who knew and loved her. Hopefully others who investigate her death feel the same, and hopefully her family can understand our desire to seek further information about what happened to her.
