The Sports Bag - Proof of Innocence ----

Evidence That Proves A Deception At Port Arthur --------------------------- Email: editor@shootersnews.addr.com













After the massacre authorities claimed a blue Prince sports bag ( photos above from video footage ) was allegedly found in the Broad Arrow Cafe with items belonging to Martin Bryant. They included a video camera and a knife blood stained with blood allegedly from David Martin owner of Seascape. A very convenient find. Footage claimed to be so by Ray Martin on A Current Affair TV program.

There are 2 problems with this claim if we assume the footage is genuine:-

The first problem is the PRISTINE CONDITION of the Broad Arrow Cafe surrounding this alleged bag - tables chairs, menus and salt and pepper all neatly arranged and a clean floor and nobody to be seen which is what you would see if you were to be the first to walk into the Cafe on opening that morning. This is when this footage was obviously taken as this is what this footage infers... The fact menus are still in place clearly indicates this as anyone who has gone into a cafe early will know.

Acccepting that as fact the second problem that stems from it is the fact if that is so then the gunman must have arrived and visited the Cafe before 11am that morning ( more likely 9am to be the first in the door ) and taken this footage himself. Why he would take such footage raises all sorts of other questions but the problem this early visit to the Cafe raises is MARTIN BRYANT WAS NOWHERE NEAR PORT ARTHUR AT THAT TIME. It is well documented that he left home at 9.50am, and stopped at Midway Point, Sorrell and Forcett between 10.15am and 10.40am and was not witnessed at Eaglehawk Neck until 11.30am. Therefore HE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN THE CAFE WHEN THIS FOOTAGE WAS TAKEN.

As said the question then arises as to why he would have have taken this footage at all ? To prove he was in the cafe so it could be used as evidence against him later ? Also the Cafe was FULL of people when the gunman arrived ( witnesses have said this ) and he could not have taken this footage then because they arent there.

These points are reinforced by the fact after the massacre the Cafe was in a shambles following the turmoil of the event and also had food & plates etc everywhere on tables & the floor.

Additionally the food on the table does not match what witnesses saw the gunman eating.

The only other conclusion to this is Tasmanian authorities are deceiving us about this footage as to when it was taken. If they admit it was taken before the massacre then the question arises is how and when and why did this footage get taken and how did they come by it ? Where did it come from ? And if the part is true they took it then ( early that morning ) then Bryant was being setup because it is inconceivable they would have cleaned up the crime scene to take this picture given the fact forensic investigators don't alter anything they find when gathering evidence.

NB - If this footage was taken after the massacre after a cleanup it amounts to fabrication of evidence because of the state of the cafe and the fact the bag was not allegedly left in that location in the cafe. If so, such footage is evidence of the propensity of Tasmanian Police to tamper with the facts and releasing such footage to the media constitutes an attempt to mislead the public. There is no excuse for not releasing true footage of exactly where such a bag was found unless they have something to hide about it. Why would they go to the trouble of setting the tables so neatly for such footage just to show a bag on a table especially as the cafe was never to reopen and was gutted and demolished soon after ? If it is a recreation afterwards it is a completely inaccurate one as the true position and surroundings of the bag are not shown..

Related to this is the fact authorities were using programs like A Current Affair to peddle the official story that Martin Bryant was the gunman - this footage was portrayed as being THE bag that was left behind as found - if it was not then the footage amounts to a serious deception. And where there is one attempt at deception there is usually a lot more and it raises questions as to the whole official story.

The fact is undeniable that is footage is geniune - ie it WAS taken in the Broad Arrow Cafe and it appears to have been taken BEFORE the massacre occurred. Its contents makes it unlikely it was taken after the massacre. There is only one conclusion this fact can lead us to.

There are other serious irregularities to do with this famous bag footage which we will deal with on other webpages including the fact this bag is not large enough to hold a rifle.

What this evidence indicates is this video footage was taken early some morning in the Cafe for the purpose of setting up Martin Bryant by linking this bag to the Cafe. Someone has gone in bought a cup of drink and packet of chips or something and gone to an out of the way corner of the cafe and let the video camera rip for a few seconds. Probably done either that Sunday morning or the previous day. There can be no other possible motive as Bryant neither could have or would need to do so. These images appear to be PROOF Martin Bryant is innocent and was setup at Port Arthur.

Whatever the truth of this footage at the bare minmium the above images indicate evidence has been tampered with to frame Bryant because there is no way that bag could have been left there with the Cafe looking so neat, or have even been there at that time of day and filmed so without that objective in mind.


PS - Shootersnews would like to thank our mate Ray Martin for screening the footage. Obviously Ray knew all along the claims about Port Arthur were false.
