John Lennon's killer seeks freedom again

senorwipesalot

Mark David Chapman, John Lennon's convicted killer, was making his seventh try at parole Wednesday.
Chapman's latest quest for freedom comes ahead of the 32nd anniversary of the death of the former Beatle, a British singer-songwriter who was gunned down outside his Manhattan apartment on December 8, 1980.

What did Madonna do wrong??

Heck, she even wore a see-threw bra recently in Dublin (search 'Madonna HD Dublin' on the YouTube for proof). Someday down the line (when I'm like in my 70's or so) and banging women in their 50's, I hope they look half as good as she does now.

Its probably for his own safety that he be kept in prison. Beatles fans and Lennon fans would lynch him

frag420

If he is released there has to be some conditions...................

He takes out Bieber, Minage, Gaga and Tubridy.

Preferably with a crossbow.

I would even spit n shine the tips of the arrows for him.

Being so peace and love and all that the question is would John still want him in prison at this stage?

He missed his son's growing up. Sure he'd want him in prison. If it were me I'd want him dead.

If he wasn't famous, he wouldn't have killed him though. Cosmic.

I'll be eaten alive for this but did the guy not do the rest of the Beatles a big favour by killing Lennon. I've always thought that the Beatles are over rated. I think that if Lennon hadn't been assassinated that the Beatles would never have attained the legendary status that they have. I don't condone the guy killing him.

Release him and send him after yoko

John would have forgiven him.

No he wouldn't; this is America; where life means life.

If he killed someone in Ireland, then he would have been out 15 years ago.

Did she ever have a hit, or would the implant be playing "The Sound of Silence"?

Chapman wanted the fame of been the man who killed the Beatle and got it ...at a price ,his appeal has been turned down again today .

That's great news .

Many others would love to kill him just to say ,they killed the guy who killed the Beatle .

Some of the comments here are ridiculous.

"The Beatles were a bit crap".

1) No they weren't. They were great. Even if you don't like them they more than likely had a massive influence on the music you listen to.

2) Even if they were crap what's that got to with a member of the band being murdered?

"If he killed someone who was not famous, he would be out by now"

If Mark Chapman had murdered someone who wasn't famous he may or may not have been released by now. Who's to say? Every case is different. Also the authorities may well feel that he's still a danger. John Lennon isn't the only celebrity who Mark Chapman wanted to kill. Apparently he had also been planning on killing David Bowie. If released he might very well become obsessed with another celebrity.

I don't get why this makes it into the news though. Prisoners are allowed to apply for parole. That's the way the justice system works. I don't see what the big news story is. All it's doing is giving a murderer the fame he longs for. The less attention he gets the better.

Exactly ...he wouldn't last long on the outside either .It's just a pity that he didn't top himself as planned before he 'murdered ' Lennon

Why did you put murdered in inverted commas?

Ok so he is a murderer, but lets face he murdered the most hypocritical,self seeking, egotistical fúcker of his generation, John Lennon was no loss to the world....remember this is a guy who sang about injustice,poverty, and starvation while being chauffer driven in a white Rolls Royce.

But they already had attained legendary status by the time Lennon was shot.

And he was unique in that was he? What a stupid thing to say. He made some great music and he made a lot of money, and at least he sang about poverty, starvation and injustice instead of bitches and bling or whatever. Cop on.

So did Ike Turner and lots of other famous people, which doesn't make it right but he wasn't unique in that respect .

If Lennon is no loss to the world then it doesn't say much all the other self indulgent fcukers of his and other generations after ,including this one .

Cop on yourself, he made his money by pretending to one thing, while swigging champers and gorging on caviar while sneering at both those who stupidly believed in him and those he claimed that he wanted to help. For my money Chapman should get a medal.
