    That's what i was thinking. For his own safety he's better off behind bars,he'll have a load of Lennon-loving fruitcakes out for his head if he ever gets released.

    He is serving 20 years, which lapsed in 2000. I reckon he will be shot if he gets out. There are a LOT of Beatle fans out there, and it only takes one whackballl. As is the case with Chapman.

    Leave him in till he dies I say, otherwise someone else will end up doing a stretch for offing Chapman !

    And therefore in the process become know as the man ,who shot the man , who shot the Beatle, making it into Beatle folklore history .....for ever .

    That's a big attraction to a lot of whackballs out there .

    If he gets out, the tv networks will be fighting to get him on an "Ultimate X Factor-Big Brother-Survivor-Dancing on ice" programme.


    ...but with any luck, he'll still be banged up when he's 64, da da da da da.

    people like mark chapman should only leave prison IN A BOX

    dig out the email for the parole board and lets ask for him to stay in


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,516 ✭✭✭irish1967


    In a box ?? Are you suggesting he escape in the post? That would never work..... would it?

    I believe Chapman to this day still does not show any regret for killing Lennon!
    No and why wasnt he given the same treatment he gave John??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,516 ✭✭✭irish1967


    Well he didn't get parole. Guess he tries again in 2 years.

    I await another thread in 2012 then. I voted to release him.

    30 years is a long time, although his sentence was 20 to life and he has served the minimum, Id expect him to serve the full life sentence.

    Did Padraic Nally show any remorse after being convicted of manslaughter of john ward ? Yet the public were up in arms for his release .

    Why do you think that was?

    Well that one is sorta covered by the invisable but still pretty obvious "If you don't give a flying ****, you won't be opening this thread in the first place will you" option!

    I like to vote in polls.

    There was no favour done, far from it.

    If Lennon were still alive, we'd be hearing nothing from the likes of Bono, Sting and Geldof, because they wouldn't have got a look in with Lennon around. He would have been the one meeting with politicians and making speeches. Instead, we're left with the Three Stooges.:(

    Any person who willingly takes the life of another should never be released.

    I think he would have been worse then three of these guys combined.

    Just my opinion though.

    John Hinckley is a far bigger fruit cake.. and he's out and about, more or less.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hinckley,_Jr.

    First person I think of after Chapman pops up for discussion, very similar obsessives.
    Ooh. Conspiracy.
    According to the March 31, 1981, edition of the Houston Post, and reported by AP, UPI, NBC News and Newsweek, Hinckley is the son of one of George H.W. Bush's political and financial supporters in his 1980 presidential primary campaign against Ronald Reagan; John Hinckley, Jr.'s elder brother, Scott Hinckley, and Bush's son Neil Bush had a dinner appointment scheduled for the next day.[6][7]

    Associated Press published the following on March 31, 1981:
    “ The family of the man charged with trying to assassinate President Reagan is acquainted with the family of Vice-President George Bush and had made large contributions to his political campaign ... Scott Hinckley, brother of John W. Hinckley, Jr., was to have dined tonight in Denver at the home of Neil Bush, one of the Vice-President's sons ... The Houston Post said it was unable to reach Scott Hinckley, vice-president of his father's Denver-based firm, Vanderbilt Energy Corporation, for comment. Neil Bush lives in Denver, where he works for Standard Oil Company of Indiana. In 1978, Neil Bush served as campaign manager for his brother, George W. Bush, the Vice-President's eldest son, who made an unsuccessful bid for Congress. Neil lived in Lubbock, Texas, throughout much of 1978, where John Hinckley lived from 1974 through 1980.[8]
    Looks like senior didn't want to wait 8 years. :)
