i like john lennon
buts its disgusting that people regard one persons life as more important than another persons.
there are most likely people who shot people in 1980, who were parolled long ago. mark david chapman deserves the same justice as the next person.
and to be honest i dont think murderers should ever be released, but like i said there has probably been murderers who commited their crimes in 1980 who have long been paroled.
just because someone wrote brilliant music, and was a member of a classic "pop" group. doesn't mean their life is worth more than say a guy who works at a factory
Finally, exactly.
And Like I said before, the guy clearly didn't do it for fame, or for anything like that. He obviously had problems. But he's been well behaved for almost 20 years now, there are people who get paroled after 3 years, there was this one murder, someone murdered a teenager with their friend, in 2006, guess what, last year one of the murderers got paroled for "good behaviour", so MDC did the same thing, except with a 40 year old man, and hes been locked away for 30 years. I hate murder as much as any of you, but thats not justice, don't double standard, either keep others in as long as him(which I would prefer, but its unlikely), or let him out as long as he keeps his behaviour well.
I'm probably going to get shot on here now for saying all this.
And the guy didn't even flee the scene, he let the cops take him away and he pleaded guilty despite being told to plead not guilty by his lawyers, he seems like a MUCH better guy than A LOT of guys I've heard about in the past few years, and some of them being free men. And keeping him there WON'T bring John Lennon back
One of the biggest reasons the guy shouldn't be released is because he's going to get killed. He WILL be a victim of a hate crime. And while this would please me to absolutely no end, it would mean another killer would be going to prison. Prisoners are just numbers. Doesn't matter who the hell they are. If they let one guy go, only to have another guy taking his place eventually, it's kind of worthless.
So you support murder as long as its not John Lennon? Thats basically what I got out of it. It shows that you don't really care that he committed a murder, its that he murdered John Lennon. That is pretty backwards. The guy has served his time and its his responsibility to watch out for himself, not the government. He's been on good behaviour for nearly 20 years and the only thing keeping him there is the fact that he killed a
celebrity.
