The Huge Gates Theory

[Royell Storing]

This is Royell's most recent post regarding his Huge Gates theory.
It pretty much sums up his thinking on the matter:

 "I believe that Assassin(s) Entry and Exit from the TSBD was done via the Huge Gates that were attached to the side of the TSBD along the Elm St. Extension. Officer Luke Mooney gave WC Testimony regarding his walking through these "Wide Open" gates, about 5-6  minutes after the Kill Shot. Mooney then entered the TSBD 1st floor in very close proximity to the stairwell and freight elevators. These gates were "wide open" on the Towner Film prior to the Kill Shot, and are still  "Wide Open" after the Kill Shot, (Couch Film). (The gates opened Inward). After walking through the Huge Gates, Officer Mooney testified as to closing them. His closing of these gates would be at about 6-7 minutes after the Kill Shot. (The gates can be seen to be closed on the Martin Film as Amos Euins is filmed on the back of the Officer Harkin's 3 wheel motorcycle racing down the Elm St Ext). The assassin(s) could have easily walked through the "wide open" Huge Gates shortly before shots were fired. They then entered the TSBD 1st Floor and immediately walked up the close by stairwell to the 6th floor. They exited the TSBD in reverse manner and simply mixed into the stunned eyewitnesses outside of the TSBD."

Just to clear up a few inaccuracies.

1) Officer Luke Mooney gave WC Testimony regarding his walking through these "Wide Open" gates, about 5-6  minutes after the Kill Shot.

Mooney does not testify that he walked through the gates about 5 - 6 minutes after the "Kill Shot"

2) His closing of these gates would be at about 6-7 minutes after the Kill Shot.

There is photographic evidence that the gates were still wide open at 12:40 pm

3) The gates can be seen to be closed on the Martin Film as Amos Euins is filmed on the back of the Officer Harkin's 3 wheel motorcycle racing down the Elm St Ext

The gates are wide open in this footage.

   On You Tube, there is a video titled "Amos Euins?" by "NoTrueFlags Here". From 7:21- 7:30 there is a CBS film snippet showing Amos Euins being loaded inside Inspector Sawyer's car parked at the curb in front of the TSBD. This film snippet also shows the Huge Gates. The Huge Gates are CLOSED. At 12:36, DPD Officer Harkness sent a documented police radio transmission. Officer Harkness said, "Witness says shots came from the 5th floor, Texas School Book Depository store at Houston and Elm. I have him with me now and we are sealing off the building". This "witness" was Amos Euins and Harkness immediately took Euins to the TSBD and loaded him into Inspector Sawyer's car as shown on the CBS Film Snippet. This 12:36 radio transmission means we are seeing Euins being loaded into Inspector Sawyer's car at 12:37 -12:38. This also means we are seeing the Huge Gates being ALREADY CLOSED at 12:37 -12:38. What we are seeing on this CBS film snippet is only seconds after Officer Harkness and Euins sped by those CLOSED Huge Gates on the 3 wheel police motorcycle.

    I have spotted a BLACK OBJECT sitting ATOP the (R) HUGE GATE. It is directly above the (R) Huge Gate and sits tightly between the point where the Texas School Book Depository ends and the (R) Huge Gate begins. It looks to be about the size of a home stereo speaker and is entirely Black. I have asked several other long term JFK Assassination researchers as to the identity/purpose of this object. Nobody positively knows what it is or what it is doing there. It's been speculated that this might be a "sign" of some kind, but nobody knows what that alleged sign might be for. You could Not see this possible sign if you were traveling either direction on the Elm St Extension. It would Not be within your field of vision. Plus, there appears to be absolutely No Printing or differing color anywhere on it. Based on the images we see of it, it is Completely Black. For the time being, I am referring to this object as "The Black Box".
   Being that the Black Box is situated down the Elm St Extension, there are few images showing it, and even these images only show portions of it. I believe the Best view of this object can be seen on this Forum's, "PHOTO RESEARCH GALLERY". It is on "KIMBROUGH PHOTO #7". If anyone knows the possible purpose of this "Black Box", please let me know. Whatever that Black Box is, it looks entirely out of place.

Your Black Object is most certainly not "entirely Black." Zoom in on it and you can pretty clearly see a face, although it's possible this is pareidolia : https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1813359032244661&set=gm.1221491097890220.

You can also see it clearly here: https://www.jfk.org/collections-archive/photograph-of-the-exterior-of-the-texas-school-book-depository-3/. Those wacky conspirators left it up days after the JFKA was over.

The reality is, (1) you are addicted to mentally masturbating over your nonsense; (2) you can't stand to allow one of your nonsensical threads to die a well-deserved death, so you keep bringing them to the front page with yet more nonsense; and (3) the mysterious "long term JFK Assassination researchers" you keep mentioning are completely imaginary. Isn't that about right?

100% spot on! Royell is like the newfound Ralph Cinque of JFK photo analysis - and no, that's not a good thing!

On top of which, I now see that the second photo I linked, taken days after the JFKA, clearly shows IT ISN'T BLACK AT ALL and is some sort of electrical box that the overhead line is going into. The face that I thought I saw in the other photo was indeed pareidolia. How come I could find the definitive image in 60 seconds on Google Images while Researcher Royell and his Team of Long Time JFKA Researchers couldn't? Is it because Researcher Royell is really just Jake Maxwell Jr. (a slur of Jake, who is at least a bit tongue-in-cheek) and his supposed Team is as imaginary as the Cottingley Fairies?

I'd have more patience if I had the slightest indication that Royell knew this was all crazy and was just having fun.



For those who don't know, the Cottingley Fairies were paper cutouts by two little girls who completely fooled Arthur Conan Doyle. As you can see, the hoax was quite well done for its era. I don't think Conan Doyle ever quite believed it was a hoax.

If The gates were open the whole time as it appears to be the case , then that was pretty lax security. Was it just coincidence or was it on purpose?
The 6th floor TSBD SE window shooter could have taken  the west elevator all the way to the 2nd floor by 50 secs post shots. Then he exits out the west side window there by the 2nd floor staircase. He crosses over a small part of the garage roof and lets himself down the west side of the building. That’s about the fastest wat to get out of the TSBD without having to go all the way down to the 1st floor. He’s out on the west side of TSBD ground by 60 secs post shots.

It’s not likely the  assassin had taken either freight elevator to the 1st floor because he likely would have been seen by Adams and Stiles there on the 1st floor at about that 60 secs post shots time.

So it’s a curious thing these gates being wide open the whole time but I’m not sure what Royells escape scenario is that’s faster than the the exit via 2nd floor west window in 50 secs post shots.
