As for eye colour, based on two random photos, give me a break.... unless you have very similar lighting, etc., trying to determine if people's eye colour is the same from two random photos is absurd. It's fairly obvious to everyone but extreme CTers that it's the same guy, his parents say it's him, the police say it's him, the court said it was him... Two very different photos (one of which is obviously stretched, and which are taken from different angles, with a different expression, and different hair colour) is not good enough to start leaping to these sorts of conclusions... the other one, which debunked it, had them over-layed and faded between the two and there was at least an attempt to account for the perspective... I'll try and find that link..

But “he should not have gotten into the summer program,” Jacobson said. “His grades were mediocre. I’ve heard him described as brilliant. This is extremely inaccurate.”
Well, I saw an interview with a school chum who was friends with him since very young until their Sr. year in high school, he said James was brilliant, and worked very hard to learn and get good grades. He said he was a really nice guy who was quiet until you got to know him and then he was very funny and nice. He said he never heard anyone ever say anything bad about James. Ever. The guy knew him a long time and knew his academics.
Close to eviction
Circumstantial: After death penalty being sought-mother changes story on her son to the news.
Implications that in High school he was in "Alternative Education". Basically he could not function in regular schooling for whatever reason, from disruptive behavior to bad grades to laziness to just bad schedule or countless other items (In no way am I saying the programs are bad or anyone who went to them are. The programs however are designed to accommodate those who are in danger of failing a regular school curricula.
"Westview, at the time, was doing alternative schooling," Lewis said. "The grades were less forgiving. There were standards -- or criteria -- for each class that each student was expected to meet. There was a lot of pressure to pass. No one wanted to have to take a class over again."
See above comment, friend said he was in school with him until Sr. year, and this guy is also a brain.
Info from people in his schools/friends/family
Interesting point in the huff article above. First it mischaracterizes the Temporal Illusion presentation. He was not saying that one could change reality, what he was talking about was memory modification involved in memory encoding and retrieval-post occurance memory modification and unconscious transference. He was not saying reality and time actually changes.
Still looking for the bits where friends of the family were saying she begged DFS to take him out due to various points like-claiming abuse anytime he was told no and groundings having no effect etc. etc.
I am curious as to the plausibility that this is more of a mind bender for the general public, staged to gauge the reaction of the masses. Either independently or with the help of the gov. or a particular agency.

A temporal illusion is a distortion in sensory perception caused when the time between the occurrence of two or more events is very short (typically less than a second). In such cases a person may misperceive the temporal order of the events. The kappa effect is a form of temporal illusion verifiable by experiment[16] whereby time intervals between visual events are perceived as relatively longer or shorter depending on the relative spatial positions of the events. In other words, the perception of temporal intervals appears to be directly affected, in these cases, by the perception of spatial intervals. The Kappa effect can be displayed when considering a journey made in two parts that take an equal amount of time. Between these two parts, the journey that covers more distance will appear to take longer than the journey covering less distance, even though they take an equal amount of time.

Forcing someone to perceive things in a different order could definitely change the way in which someone perceives an event. His studies, whether or not directly related to changing memories, definitely have an effect on memory.
When things happen out of a specific order, there is no doubt that in some instances it will completely change the perception of the event..

I'm not saying anything about time travel. I'm saying an illusion of any sort, a change in the perception of order, or a belief or perception that an event happened in a certain order.. Whether it did or not.. Definitely has an effect on the perception of an event as a whole. I completely understand what is being discussed.

If the time perceived between events is distorted to someone, then the event as a whole could be perceived differently. It is a fact that I don't think you can refute.edit on 9-8-2012 by ZiggyMojo because: (no reason given)

I've been thinking for a while that this might be exactly what Holmes' (and whoever else may or may not have been involved) plan was. Some sort of sick experiment trying to make the public believe a story that didn't actually happen that way, therefore creating kind of a temporal illusion?
Think of all the weird things at the crime scene, like the strangely positioned second gas mask, pink flip flops, maybe even the bloodstream. The question of whether or not there was one shooter. The question of whether or not it was Holmes that faked the phone call and walked out of the theater. The question or wheter or not Holmes was actually the shooter.
What I'm saying is, the story we are getting from the MSM might not be what actually happened, and the reason for that might be that somebody is trying to make the public believe that something that didn't happen actually happened, or the other way around. The turn of events might not be what is being perceived, possibly even by the authorities. Maybe Holmes wanted to feel what it's like to do something and then make the whole world believe something different happened.

When I found out who the Chief of Police of Aurora was, I realized he wasn't just "people like you and me", go do a little digging on Chief Oates. He was at Ann Arbor, U of Michigan, a campus rife with mind control. He was directly involved with another world wide event with multiple conspiracy theories surrounding it.
Do a little research before you throw all the manhours spent here and other places on digging up the truth, you insult the intelligence of most of the posters on this thread.
