Mike Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono has urged prison bosses not to free murderer Mark Chapman - insisting he will be killed if he is released. Ono believes Chapman could be hunted down and killed by Lennon's loyal fans if he was ever to be set free from prison. And she has pleaded with parole officers not to grant Chapman freedom when his case is heard later this week. She tells the New York Daily News, "It's dangerous for him to come out. Not only for us, but for himself. "There are so many people out there who dislike him. It's safer for him to stay in jail." Chapman, 53, is serving 20-years-to-life at Attica Correctional Facility for shooting Lennon dead outside his New York home in December 1980. He has applied for parole five times. A petition signed by 1,000 people opposing his release has been sent to prison officials. Copyright © 2008 Starpulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I´d let him out. And let everybody know where he is. He´ not the only a ** h o l e and disturbed guy in town. There are some other people who´d love to kill a "celebrity" like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 They I wonder if a lifetime of prison is a greater punishment then be killed out of revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamisammy29 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 The man committed first degree murder. I don't care if it was John Lennon or Joe Shmoe. He should NEVER be let out of jail. Why? Because he'll do it again. You can't give him that chance. And Yoko knows who he'd be coming after first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I can't believe they would even consider letting that freak out of jail. They should have just shot him in the first place. Even thinking about that monster makes me nauseous :beady: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 My thought is no one that commits cold-blooded murder should ever be released from prison. I doubt very seriously that he'll ever be granted parole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I hope the other bleephole, the one who killed Bob Kennedy, is still in jail too... or maybe someone killed him in prison already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 They should have just shot him in the first place. Now that would satisfy many, but won't bring his victim back. Revenge doesn't restore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otokichi Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I've heard that Sirhan Sirhan has spent more time in prison than lesser killers. However, if Al Qaeda/HAMAS/PLO want to mount an expedition to free him, this could become an Olympic event. He'd be another "bull's eye on his back" ex-con if he was granted parole.

edna Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 All those Chapmans and Mansons and Sirhans and all sort of antichrists are still eating and breathing and readind and having their own inner lives. I bet that´s what jails are for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Sirhan Sirhan probably didn't kill RFK It was big news for like.... 12 hours Real forensics and just practical thinking went into it. It's not speculation like the JFK stuff An audio recording records more shots being fired than sirhan sirhan's clip contained. and the wound doesn't match up with the distance Sirhan Sirhan was The wound does match where a secret service guy was tho a guy who currently lives outside the country. I dunno It could be conspiratorial bs but on the other hand the fact it was removed from the news so quickly without being rebutted makes me believe otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lea Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Now that would satisfy many, but won't bring his victim back. Revenge doesn't restore. I really didn't mean it in a vindictive way Viaene. People like that are very dangerous to the public in general. I personally think people like him will do anything to get some kind of recognition including mass killing. He was so coldblooded about the whole thing. There was no remorse at all. Would you really want someone like him around your friends and family? People like him are born with no conscience and we have enough of those wandering about as it is.

Viaene Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I wouldn't want anyone like that to be free It's just not right to kill everybody who's that dangerous, even if they truly deserve it. Taking lives is a daily issue, and I think civilised people shouldn't encourage that by sentencing every murderer to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viaene Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Their victims were probably happy until their passing. I don't think an imprisoned murderer is happy. Don't underestimate a lifetime in prison, that's quite close to death, with probably more suffering. I'm glad your agree with my previous post Tim, let's hope many youngsters do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
