in my world murder is murder.. killing someone not famous doesnt make it "better"...
seems like they they only want revenge.. something lennon probably would be against ;)

Actually, John and Yoko had similar views on about everything... the article is incorrect, however; the last time he was up for parole, Yoko didn't want him denied because she said it would pose a threat to her. She said she wanted him to stay imprisoned because she felt it would pose a threat to HIM. She didn't want John or her associated with anything bad that might happen to Chapman, which is probably how John would feel, I would think. Neither one of them definately I don't believe would want anything vengeful to happen to Chapman, but Yoko's reasoning in the letter she wrote the parole board in 2002 was that if Chapman was let out, some crazy Beatles fan would kill him.
Also, O, the difference between Chapman and just some random killer is that Chapman killed someone that knew a LOT of people. If for instance he had killed your father or something... there'd probably be 4 or 5 people (including you) who would be so insanely hurt by it, that you'd contemplate killing him if he ever got out of prison. The rest of the world would be ignorant. John Lennon was a wonderful person, and through his music brought a lot of happiness, even if in a small way, to many, many people around the world. Millions. So now, when he killed Lennon, he offended and hurt MILLIONS of people. So of course many people want to sign a petition keeping him in jail, a lot of people were 'hurt' even if in a smaller way when Lennon was shot.

I dunno. I dont think he should be in for life cos its us who are paying for him to live, he might as well just be killed.
Its like a hole in the system for me. Why should my famaily continue to pay taxes to keep him living in jail for the rest of his life. But for what he done he deserves to have no future.
Death sentance needs to be brought back if you ask me!
KING VerbalAssaulta:
release the guy...he did most of us a favor..by getting rid of that damn hippy
