Oh the cruel world. I dont agree with John Lennon saying leave your religion and saying they are better than Jesus. But john was awesome. Loved all the songs we wrpte with the rest of the band.
This A & E presentation sounds like a "poor Mark David Chapman…" sob story and one I am NOT buying. I have read much about this subject over the years and many facts have been excluded from this report.
@Littlefoot3559 the sinful society? no i blame the bible, nobody on earth is 100% evil, but the bible condones murder. the world is full of people doing good things, and some doing bad things. religion is the only time even good people can do bad things. champman is clearly not "normal" by most peoples standards but being so fixated on religion did not help.
OMG Elliot Mintz voice sounds exactly like Mr Smith from "The Matrix" movies. No wonder he sounds so creepy.I can't imagine him being friends with either John or Yoko, let alone John's best friend.
chapmen is the most hated person in the world I just do not get why he would kill john for what? what is he trying to prove that he is the man. he wanted his five minutes of fame, and he got it.
Second, Chapman had a friend, Dana Reeves (aka, Gene Scott), who certainly fits the profile of a southern cop with ties to the FBI. Reeves was a policeman for the sheriff’s office in Henry County, Georgia. As previously stated, Reeves gave Chapman exploding hollow-point bullets which were allegedly used to kill Lennon,
I may be hung for this but here goes......Where ever John is I'm sure he's over this whole thing.I can hear him saying "Are you still talkin about that?"-It sucks for all of us here.All of us left here without him...but I have no doubt Johns soul is doing it's thing somewhere else.
He doesn't deserve visits with his wife! Good thing he doesn't have rich family because if u do u will get 2 live in some nice hospital with weekend leave and they say other countries judicial systems r fucked up!?
The best thing about this whole mess is that Chapman is in prison. If their had been a trial most likely he would have been found "not guilty by reason of insanity" He then would have been in some comfy hospital and having weekend leaves to visit family likeJohn Hinkley receives today. I also think his wife is a semi-nut job who seems to have "feelings of importance" by staying married to Chapman. I believe she suffers from low self-esteem because she took physical abuse but stayed married.
Isnt that sweet how he's allowed 2 day conjugual visits 4 times a year. What a bunch of crap. Murderers dont deserve anything but hard labor or the death penalty. They took everything away from someone and their families have to live with it for the rest of their days. Still so sad 30 yrs later.
The mind of a 13 years old Lady GaGa fan.... Doing stuff.. Very usefull brained washed fan, young and blind.. You can use that kind of human scum. Human is scum anyway. Human like a ant. Use it.. '''Can't stand to be nobody??'''' Welcome to the world!!! Taking action?! Dont think you have the balls... You did 1 thing in life: Not killing, TARGETING. Their is your accomplishment. You want to kill = you kill kids. BUT If you Target==== Go for it.. Only a hunter? Or human bullet?
did anyone notice yoko saying finally'' and thank you john'' with a fake cry??? notice how she looks when she says thank you very much first....... i wont say it was a fake cry sorry but something seemed phony....
@mishunman324 we can see pain in her behaviour... The child turning his head as she says 'John'. He reconize the painful voice of his mother.(Lie to Me Natural) Signs of a feeled emotion.. I bet she did't want to attempt the ceremony. She went their for the kid.. She acts as a mom.. 'And finaly, John, MEANS you've been crucified' at last... Cause of the folowers... If jesus is real its only just that... A hurt in a loving mind... Human is predictable(past or present, mainly future) hopefully
@HowStanDenis hopefully the future is brighter than the present and the past .... for nowadays what u do today doesn't matter anymore for tomorrow.... and laws and rules are being broken and fading.... jails are to packed for more crimes... how many murders can fit in one prison unit???or even death row..(which takes forever) Jesus is REAL.. my prayers go UP his blessings come DOWN... (my personal proof... find ur own) (its not my battle)
Must be nice to be able to receive 2 day conjugal visits 4 times a year, why don't John or Yoko deserve to have that? What did they ever do wrong? John was not a phony, if any of the beatles were it would be Paul.
From the comments people leave it is quite clear how much people loved John Lennon.
As for that selfish, puerile bastard Chapman...........I think everyone has made their feelings known. The poeple will NOT be hoodwinked not tricked by crazy do-gooder liberal attitudes that this guy on the documentary alludes to. Chapman was a selfish, centred sociopathic turd. No-matter what his protestations.
@starryian007 Agreed! I think photographer Bob Gruen - John's good friend who took the famous NYC pictures -- says it best in the next segment, it's a shame that anyone even has to know his name. I think from here on out all TV specials and articles along with the reporters/journalists should not print or utter the name of this pathetic worthless dog who deserves to rot in jail then burn in hell.
Not really. His one hour would be supervised exercise in an exercise yard when no other inmates were out in the yard. I think his restrictions have eased a bit because he works as a porter and library clerk and, I believe, a janitor in whatever section he's in. He's in a small segregation unit and the people around him are thought to pose no threat to him. They still have him guarded pretty well.
@NeilFraudstrong What you said sounds right from what I have read. He's not in his cell all day, according to the interview w/Larry King way back in '92 he was working as a kitchen man and helping other inmates with their legal defense etc... but I think in his wing of Attica (which is for dangerous and at risk inmates) all inmates have their own private cell.
@NeilFraudstrong What I find fascinating is that his wife Gloria has apparently stood by him all these years. He committed the murder within I think about a year and a half of their getting married and they didn't even have a very long courtship..
.According to Jack Jones book from 1980-1992 his own mother only visited him twice and his father (who I think later remarried and had another family) never visited him at all though they spoke on the phone. Kind of sad in a way...
I know this will be pretty fairly criticized, but I respect the hell out of Gloria for that. I mean, here you have your husband who killed an icon for millions and she still stuck with him even through all of the hate mail and all of the coverage. That is real love (I mean, it is!). I had read at one time that his mother and sister were two of his most regular visitors (regular being very loosely applied). Now his wife is the only one I think.
It really amazes me has to how people like you have such a big heart for forgivness when it doesn't concern you personally. I think you just like to wind people up so your posts get a bigger hit rate - and if this is so how shallow you are. It's all very well when your sitting on your high moral ground ,but if it was your own parent or siblings that was shot in the back by a deranged coward you also would be seeking Chapmans death just like the rest of us.
The only one getting wound up is you. I also do not appreciate you speaking for me. I do not muckrake for views. If you viewed any of my videos you would see that. I forgave Chapman as a personal choice. What is so hard to understand about that? I have admitted time and time again that I am in the minority and I am well aware of this, but it is what I have chosen to do. I would not be calling for his death either. I would be calling for his life imprisonment.
Forgiving Chapman does not forgive the act. I forgive him as a human being to another human being, but I do not like him, I don't think about him, and I don't think he should ever be released. I don't forgive the act of murder, but I forgive the person. Forgiveness and liking a person are not necessarily mutually inclusive. You can forgive someone and still not like them. So it seems like you got yourself worked up there and I do not appreciate you insinuating that I am a muckraker for views.
@NeilFraudstrong What are you on about ? I didn't speak for you i gave my opinion so don't get so wound up. If you post something like this and it's in the public domain then don't get all upset about people's comments. I respect your opinion however as I said when it has no direct link with you then it's easy to say life is better than death. As for me being the only one getting wound up! I don't think so! Have you read the comments on your page lately? most of them think your fucking stupid.
The irony and hypocrisy of it all is that this jackass was actually scared about getting murdered in prison and the officials went out of their way to protect him?!
see what a having "god" does? oh "im a christian" ill forgive you for stealing the life of another human being and ill remain married to you! she should be in atticus with him, shes just as fucked in the head!
i really wish his suicide attempts didn't fail...fucking bastard. the world would rather lose some loony "nobody choking on nobody-ness' who has no children and a puny pathetic wife than the absolute best number one musician, artist, peace activist, husband, father, friend, etc. fuck this guy. with something hard and sandpapery.
Perhaps the saddest part of this whole tragedy is that it was likely preventable, if only, ONLY *someone* in MDC's life had spoken up after observing his obsession with Lennon's death: One of the "friends" upon hearing him sing, "imagine JL is dead", someone in the summer camp after his saying his life goal was to kill JL, or his wife, who I blame the most for failure to act, knowing he had a gun and that he had told her he had strongly considered killing JL upon his first trip to NYC.
Good comment. Almost all tragedies are preventable. In hindsight, everything is 20/20. Sometimes, as a race, we feel larger than the world itself and become cocky before something strikes us all back down to reality again. I don't think John was being this way at all, but I think you get what I mean. If ONE person had said something, maybe John would still be here.
After watching this whole thing, I feel that Mark David Chapman is a horrible person with no redeeming characteristics whatsoever. I suppose I do feel pity for him that he was abused by his mother and never received the psychiatric help that he so desperately needed. MDC is also one helluva UGLY man. BTW there is no such thing as "temporary schizophrenia"
one day when chapman is sleaping, one of the prison guards should stick a fucking tiger in his cell, that will shock the sick fuck lol (glad i got that out of my system lol)
Because Elliot Mintz is, was, and always has been Yoko's friend. He's the lowest kind of sycophant and he grovels to Yoko Ono for the almighty dollar and he spreads the myth of John and Yoko. The truth is that he was NOT John's best friend. Quite the contrary. John couldn't stand him and he annoyed John whenever he came by the apartment because he would always be awe struck and he wanted to talk about The Beatles. John couldn't stand him. Elliot Mintz is pretty pathetic.
@NeilFraudstrong Correct. And many people have attested to that fact. John would often leave the room whenever Mintz was around. He tries to come off as this intellectual who was close friends with Lennon but he's just a former DJ who became a parasitic PR agent. He now leeches off of such luminaries as Paris and Nicky Hilton.
@NeilFraudstrong hahaha i was wondering what the hell elliot mintz was doing in this episode, and had to rewind when he (or whoever) called himself john's best friend. seriously who wrote this
seriously man. neil's right. if you're just going to wish him violent deaths and wish for revenge then how can you even consider yourself a fan of John Lennon? That is exactly the kind of thing that John preached against.
@tplaya10192 I never think you have think exactly the way someone else thinks to be a fan of that person. John was human and so are the rest of us. It is natural to be angry and wish for revenge against someone who cause hurt and pain to others. Quit expecting people to be perfect angels. We're just blowing off steam and it makes us feel better.
What an idiot that guy Jonathan Marks is at 0:26.
"I was very saddened by him being sent to prison for life..and I really go to LIKE Mark Chapman, A LOT." You like the guy who killed John Lennon??!! What a douche!!!
He's a moron about being sad that he was sent to prison for life. But I don't blame him for getting to like MDC. I'm not saying it's for me, but he was getting treatment in prison and I am sure that a lot of things happened in their discussions. It doesn't mean you have to like what the guy did, but I don't know. I've never been in that situation.
Through the Light of Murdre through the light the Sad Sad Sad through the light of murder through the light the Sad SAD SAD story of the man who came, he took all his heart and aim, he never hurt nobody, crawling on his life will shame, he is laughing at people, he is laughing cause he's not afraid, calling on his devils calling on his lifeless pain who'da lied to murder? who'da lied the Sad Sad Sad whoda lied to Murder who'da Lied The Sad Sad Sad Story
I love how this piece of shit was scared for his life upon entering prison. He's worried about being killed, when he doesn't even deserve his life. Hes tough enough to take John Lennons life, but hes scared about prisoners taking his? Fuck this guy man. I hope they DO let him out of prison; it'll never happen, but I hope he DOES get out in August, so he can find out what its like to not be given a choice about your life. This fat piece of shit won't make it a week, and I'll for one be happy.
thats sickening to know he gets to live yet alone with 2 day visits with his nutty wife i hope a gaurd at his prison wants to become famous for killing him
Hitler was kind to children and loved dogs. A human being is nothing if not a mess of paradoxes. Chapman was, and still is, a Level One whack-job, but very few who do evil are totally evil persons. It's part of the strangeness of the species, our constant internal struggle between devils and angels. In Chapman's case, the devils won.
Technically, he got 25 years to life and he is eligible for parole, but it is going to be a life sentence because there is no way he would ever be released because of the high profile nature of his crime. He's much safer in prison than on the outside. So he may still get parole hearings, but so do the Manson murderers. They're allegedly different people now too, but there's no way they'll ever get out either due to the brutality of the crime.
thank you so much for posting this,not every John Lennon fan wants to kill Chapman,the true ones actually know that John wouldnt want that,he wrote songs of peace and avenging him by killing Chapman is not peace at all.most fans are posessed by anger and if you take a look at John's song imagine,he clearly said ''no posession''.So I hope that some fans will realise this and will forgive Chapman
It bothers me a great deal that people will view videos like this and say how he deserves to be shot, hanged, executed, etc etc. By them saying that, they are completely and totally going against John's ideals and the message that he left for the world.
Wherever John is, I am sure that he has forgiven MDC. I, too, have forgiven MDC. It doesn't mean you have to like him, but hate leads a person nowhere. Hate his crime, but not him. John would have said the same I think.
a ur response sounds way 2 christian 2 me (im atheist) but at the same time it makes so much sense so only true lennon fans will understand the concept or idea
I didn't base my feelings on religious principles. Hate gets a person nowhere. John would have completely condemned any acts of revenge. It goes against his message for the world. I forgave Mark David Chapman because even though he did a horrible thing, he is still a human being. It makes dealing with John's murder a lot easier. It helps you get over it. I don't hate MDC. I dislike him and I often get angry at what he did, but still I have forgiven him for what he did to John
Chapman idolized and love john . for ex. heres what happen if you are Chapman and the government took your wife . kids . parents and ordered you to kill john . you have to choose one thing either you go away let them die or do what they say. i mean little people like us is just nothing
the world is so fucked up until now . this case is unsolved
The only thing left was just the end credits. It wasn't worth it to upload because there was only maybe 30 seconds more to go and then like a minute or so of ending credits.
I am always weary of soft-spoken men with a vacant look in their eyes. They look agreeable and easy-going at first but as you scratch the surface and get to know them, a darker side emerges. Mark David Chapman should never be let out and is a monster. I was thirteen when Lennon was shot and thought: who would WANT to kill a Beatle? Still makes me very sad today.
Mad picture at 0.32 - the man looks like he is from another planet ! What on earth must be going through his mind when that pic was taken. Frozen emotion in a moment in time. When he is smiling in the colour later pics, well he seems sweet & cute, human if you like...hard to believe its the same cold-blooded killer with a .35 who gunned down Lennon. And if he is mad should he not be in a hospital rather than prison ? Should he not be getting our sympathies rather than our hate ?
I don't get why so many people have beef with that statement. Yes, he killed John, but I think that there are certain qualities that can be respected in almost every individual, yes, even him. It doesn't mean that he supports the act, but perhaps he got to like him just through working with him after he was receiving treatment for his mental illness. It's hard for a lot of people to accept, but I understand where he's coming from.
It is sad that the wife sticks by him through all this. He held her off the apartment balcony and smashed her records. She must be slightly crazy too.
@GowPSP2000 Mark would stand naked around a bunch of candles, play Beatle records and chant "JOHN LENNON MUST DIE!!!" and Gloria didn't get the clue that her hubby was a sick freak? I don't understand some people.
Yes, that's true. It's ironic; there are people who aren't in jail who starve and struggle to survive, but people in prison get fed 3 meals a day, courtesy of our taxes...
i think that people in prison don't do much, physically and so don't burn up many calories but the starving in africa burn so many calories doing their day to day physical activities to survive such as collecting water etc prisoners have their food collected prepared and brought to them without having to lift a finger so way more of the food they consume is converted into body fat
Most prisoners get one hour a day of recreation time. Some prisoners use it to work out and exercise and others don't. Chapman is just a lazy, fat fuck...
but one hour is still nothing compared with 12 hours of physical labour every impoverished person in 3rd world countries experience every day just to survive
Yeah. The same goes with (forgive me for bringing this one up), but take the Holocaust. While it is certainly true that the rations were quite paltry, they almost served no nutritious value at all. Even for the "cushy" jobs in the labor camps (i.e. Canada in Birkenau) they were meager rations. But take Mauthausen-Gusen. Prisoners survived on just 600-1000 calories per day. This included dusk til dawn work in the granite quarry. So yeah.
This guy is a loser who wanted fame. He doesn't deserve this exposure from the media. Anyone notice the word assassination has the word ass in it twice. It fits the loser.

I think you just like to wind people up so your posts get a bigger hit rate - and if this is so how shallow you are. It's all very well when your sitting on your high moral ground ,but if it was your own parent or siblings that was shot in the back by a deranged coward you also would be seeking Chapmans death just like the rest of us.

The only one getting wound up is you. I also do not appreciate you speaking for me. I do not muckrake for views. If you viewed any of my videos you would see that. I forgave Chapman as a personal choice. What is so hard to understand about that? I have admitted time and time again that I am in the minority and I am well aware of this, but it is what I have chosen to do. I would not be calling for his death either. I would be calling for his life imprisonment.

Forgiving Chapman does not forgive the act. I forgive him as a human being to another human being, but I do not like him, I don't think about him, and I don't think he should ever be released. I don't forgive the act of murder, but I forgive the person. Forgiveness and liking a person are not necessarily mutually inclusive. You can forgive someone and still not like them. So it seems like you got yourself worked up there and I do not appreciate you insinuating that I am a muckraker for views.

@NeilFraudstrong What are you on about ? I didn't speak for you i gave my opinion so don't get so wound up. If you post something like this and it's in the public domain then don't get all upset about people's comments. I respect your opinion however as I said when it has no direct link with you then it's easy to say life is better than death. As for me being the only one getting wound up! I don't think so! Have you read the comments on your page lately? most of them think your fucking stupid.

Perhaps the saddest part of this whole tragedy is that it was likely preventable, if only, ONLY *someone* in MDC's life had spoken up after observing his obsession with Lennon's death: One of the "friends" upon hearing him sing, "imagine JL is dead", someone in the summer camp after his saying his life goal was to kill JL, or his wife, who I blame the most for failure to act, knowing he had a gun and that he had told her he had strongly considered killing JL upon his first trip to NYC.

@Sharky165
Good comment. Almost all tragedies are preventable. In hindsight, everything is 20/20. Sometimes, as a race, we feel larger than the world itself and become cocky before something strikes us all back down to reality again. I don't think John was being this way at all, but I think you get what I mean. If ONE person had said something, maybe John would still be here.

After watching this whole thing, I feel that Mark David Chapman is a horrible person with no redeeming characteristics whatsoever. I suppose I do feel pity for him that he was abused by his mother and never received the psychiatric help that he so desperately needed. MDC is also one helluva UGLY man. BTW there is no such thing as "temporary schizophrenia"

Why?
TheVlogSister 1 year ago
@TheVlogSister
Because Elliot Mintz is, was, and always has been Yoko's friend. He's the lowest kind of sycophant and he grovels to Yoko Ono for the almighty dollar and he spreads the myth of John and Yoko. The truth is that he was NOT John's best friend. Quite the contrary. John couldn't stand him and he annoyed John whenever he came by the apartment because he would always be awe struck and he wanted to talk about The Beatles. John couldn't stand him. Elliot Mintz is pretty pathetic.
NeilFraudstrong 1 year ago
@NeilFraudstrong But you still forgive Elliot right? Because you always have to "forgive" everybody no matter how terrible they are, it seems.
GingerGilligan 1 year ago
@NeilFraudstrong Correct. And many people have attested to that fact. John would often leave the room whenever Mintz was around. He tries to come off as this intellectual who was close friends with Lennon but he's just a former DJ who became a parasitic PR agent. He now leeches off of such luminaries as Paris and Nicky Hilton.

I hope they DO let him out of prison; it'll never happen, but I hope he DOES get out in August, so he can find out what its like to not be given a choice about your life.

Hitler was kind to children and loved dogs. A human being is nothing if not a mess of paradoxes. Chapman was, and still is, a Level One whack-job, but very few who do evil are totally evil persons. It's part of the strangeness of the species, our constant internal struggle between devils and angels. In Chapman's case, the devils won.

PaulosTheKing 2 years ago
Technically, he got 25 years to life and he is eligible for parole, but it is going to be a life sentence because there is no way he would ever be released because of the high profile nature of his crime. He's much safer in prison than on the outside. So he may still get parole hearings, but so do the Manson murderers. They're allegedly different people now too, but there's no way they'll ever get out either due to the brutality of the crime.

thank you so much for posting this,not every John Lennon fan wants to kill Chapman,the true ones actually know that John wouldnt want that,he wrote songs of peace and avenging him by killing Chapman is not peace at all.most fans are posessed by anger and if you take a look at John's song imagine,he clearly said ''no posession''.So I hope that some fans will realise this and will forgive Chapman
barnierk 2 years ago 3
@barnierk
It bothers me a great deal that people will view videos like this and say how he deserves to be shot, hanged, executed, etc etc. By them saying that, they are completely and totally going against John's ideals and the message that he left for the world.
Wherever John is, I am sure that he has forgiven MDC. I, too, have forgiven MDC. It doesn't mean you have to like him, but hate leads a person nowhere. Hate his crime, but not him. John would have said the same I think.

I didn't base my feelings on religious principles. Hate gets a person nowhere. John would have completely condemned any acts of revenge. It goes against his message for the world. I forgave Mark David Chapman because even though he did a horrible thing, he is still a human being. It makes dealing with John's murder a lot easier. It helps you get over it. I don't hate MDC. I dislike him and I often get angry at what he did, but still I have forgiven him for what he did to John

I am always weary of soft-spoken men with a vacant look in their eyes. They look agreeable and easy-going at first but as you scratch the surface and get to know them, a darker side emerges. Mark David Chapman should never be let out and is a monster. I was thirteen when Lennon was shot and thought: who would WANT to kill a Beatle? Still makes me very sad today.

When he is smiling in the colour later pics, well he seems sweet & cute, human if you like...hard to believe its the same cold-blooded killer with a .35 who gunned down Lennon. And if he is mad should he not be in a hospital rather than prison ? Should he not be getting our sympathies rather than our hate ?

I don't get why so many people have beef with that statement. Yes, he killed John, but I think that there are certain qualities that can be respected in almost every individual, yes, even him. It doesn't mean that he supports the act, but perhaps he got to like him just through working with him after he was receiving treatment for his mental illness. It's hard for a lot of people to accept, but I understand where he's coming from.

i think that people in prison don't do much, physically and so don't burn up many calories but the starving in africa burn so many calories doing their day to day physical activities to survive such as collecting water etc prisoners have their food collected prepared and brought to them without having to lift a finger so way more of the food they consume is converted into body fat

Most prisoners get one hour a day of recreation time. Some prisoners use it to work out and exercise and others don't. Chapman is just a lazy, fat fuck...

but one hour is still nothing compared with 12 hours of physical labour every impoverished person in 3rd world countries experience every day just to survive
layzworm 2 years ago
Yeah. The same goes with (forgive me for bringing this one up), but take the Holocaust. While it is certainly true that the rations were quite paltry, they almost served no nutritious value at all. Even for the "cushy" jobs in the labor camps (i.e. Canada in Birkenau) they were meager rations. But take Mauthausen-Gusen. Prisoners survived on just 600-1000 calories per day. This included dusk til dawn work in the granite quarry. So yeah.
I kind of lost my point in all this. But I agree.
