Maybe he can post his gun collection on Fark.

Imagine if you hadn't been an asshat
It's easy if you try

 
Xerxes99 2008-08-20 12:51:56 PM  
Of course he's ashamed.... ashamed for being such a piss poor shot... he was aiming for Yoko....

 
Skerrvy [TotalFark] 2008-08-20 12:52:46 PM  
I hope he never gets out

 
rodeofrog 2008-08-20 12:53:02 PM  
I try to only harbor so much disgust for other humans. But this fukker makes me really unhappy.

Beside the whole Lennon thing, Mark is a pretty cool guy.

 
SockMonkeyHolocaust 2008-08-20 12:53:20 PM  
I shot John Lennon today. Sorry Yoko, it had to be this wayyyyyyyyyyyy!

 
Nightsweat 2008-08-20 12:53:25 PM  
Three people wrote urging he be set free.

So -- Heather Mills and who else?

Eh, one less hippie in the world. Give that man a medal.

what would John Lennon say about this?

Rot in HELL Mark Chapman (just do it from inside a prison). Thank you!!

 
Spider Dijon 2008-08-20 12:54:17 PM  
May he rot in jail until death.
Be it natural causes or the wrath of a fellow inmate.

Probably this, right?

Yeah, funny.

I think there is a better word than ashamed for murder. Sickened, mortified, horrified would be better choices. Also from the photo, he appears to be related to Dwight Schrute.

 
studebaker hoch 2008-08-20 12:57:22 PM  
They should probably cut the guy a break. That was a long, long time ago.

okay- but no hall of fame. i draw the line there.

 
Ashtrey 2008-08-20 12:59:30 PM  
Keep him, he killed John Farking Lennon. It's not like he just beat a bum to death with a hammer or something.

 
DrillSergeantPoopyPants 2008-08-20 12:59:37 PM  
Dear God,

Why couldn't he have killed him before recording that inane "Imagine" song? Why? WHYYYYYY?

Sincerely,

Drill Sergeant Poopy Pants

 
emiliogtz 2008-08-20 01:00:00 PM  
Maybe it's safer for him to stay in jail. I bet some other fan, crazier than him, would try to kill him.

 
lambelly 2008-08-20 01:00:01 PM  
man. How long does it take for our penal system to rehabilitate a criminal? Shouldn't that be a functioning member of society now?

 
b3x 2008-08-20 01:00:24 PM  
and to think ... had he missed and hit yoko, he would have been a hero to millions.

fate is a cruel mistress ...

 
highendmighty 2008-08-20 01:01:00 PM  
Well, I guess there's nothing he can do but he can learn how to be himself in time. It's easy - he's got lots more of that now.

 
MikeSass 2008-08-20 01:01:57 PM  
Plus, he never should have leaned over the wall and caught that ball at the Cubs game. Now he has nowhere to hide!

*aside* What? Steve Bartman? Are you sure? */aside*

OK, never mind.

 
Tech N9ne 2008-08-20 01:02:45 PM  
Fark him. How dare that fat piece of shiat take another life.

Heh - you said penal.
Don't you know by now that the justice system is a popularity contest?

/penal

Based upon some of the posts in this thread, he's probably safer in prison.

RIMS!

 
rubi_con_man 2008-08-20 01:05:26 PM  
Perhaps we should drill a hole in his skull, pull the brain out, and use the space to store a tiny Mp3 jukebox. We can then coat him in six inches of shellac and seat his encased figure outside the Dakota in central park where people can rent baseball bats for 50$ a whack to beat him while he plays "Imagine" ... The reciepts can go to feeding the poor and clothing the naked.

Or something like that.

/am I trying too hard?

 
Passive Aggressive Larry [TotalFark] 2008-08-20 01:05:29 PM  
Too soon; he farking murdered someone, and it still affects the lives of millions. He shouldn't get out until he is too old to really enjoy himself and all his fame.

 
Ned_Flanders 2008-08-20 01:05:32 PM  
if he were to be released, i wouldn't be surprised if someone took a shot at him for what he did. he should remain in prison not just for what he did, but for his own safety! imagine if he was released and you saw him walking down the street. what would you do? there's a lot people that probably want to kick this dude's arse.

 
Space Station Wagon 2008-08-20 01:06:07 PM  
it is for his safety.

 
Gordie_Howe_Hat_Trick 2008-08-20 01:06:31 PM  
If he'd killed a plumber named John Lennon 28 years ago, he likely would have been paroled by now.

/not a Beetles fan

The guy who killed Ringo didn't spend that much time in prison.

0/10. That really sucked.

Anyone catch the Something Positive^ cartoon this morning? Very appropriate for this topic. I'm websensed at work, so I can't link to it.

 
tamsnod27 2008-08-20 01:08:46 PM  
3 people argued for his release...okay Mr. and Mrs. Sunshine, if you want him so back, fine, he gets to live with YOU...after he spends a couple weeks using you farking skull for a bong, we come back in, cap his ass and 4 less problems in the world!(Yes, I know it is Carlin, but I miss him, too!)

You're the first person to recognize it.

It's A Day in the Life redux, for me, anyhow.

 
Tat'dGreaser [TotalFark] 2008-08-20 01:09:10 PM  
I pretty much lean to the right on many issues but wow, you people are f*cked up. Lennon would be really proud of his legacy.

Don't try to revise history based upon your 20-year memory of history. Anyone who would mention The BS Boys with the Beatles is ignorant of music and its history.

Troll.

That's actually what I was thinking too. If he gets out of jail, someone will end up killing him. Better for all that he stays in.

Before the gun nuts start in on me, I should disclose that I own one too. It's strictly platonic though.

Self-defense, not self-worth.

It was either that or the more current Jonas Brothers. Either way, judging by the number of responses in such a short period of time, I'd say it was pretty good.
