Hey guys, I am a new member here, and this is my first post, so I must preface this by saying that I am not a ninja.
I noticed a few things about Francis(Frank) Notaro that a few people have gotten confused. 1, his birthday is not Aug 13. No, that was the day of the shooting, and his birthday fell on the day he was awarded the medal. After all, the key word is auspicious, which means fortunate, and only the most optimistic of optimists would think that his shooting, and killing, someone would be fortunate.
The site(gothampolice) said that he was awarded the medal "yesterday," so, if the site was updated on the 30th of March, his birthday must be March 29th.
Also, if you look at the internal document that focused on the incident, it states that the shooting actually occurred on May 13, 2007, not Aug 13. Strange that they would mix the months, but not the day.
I think that the focus on his family members' ages, but not his(even though they mention his birthday) may still be of some significance.After all, the people who write these websites are pretty good writers, and it seems that there are certain phrases in the press release(on the GPD site) that indicate we should look further.
One last thing, has anyone read the story about Gordon in the newest Gotham Times? It talks about following the money, and how bag-men drop off packages at assorted business'. I don't know if there is anything there, as it may have been subtle foreshadowing, but who knows?
Glad to finally come out of the shadows to converse with the lot of you.
