  • I remember the night of December 8, 1980 very well. I was 22 years old and had been an avid Beatles fan since age six. I listened to talk radio that night and I couldn't believe how much anger a lot of older people had towards John Lennon. They were blaming him for a lot of the social ills that came from the 1960s. Blaming him for supposedly enticing America's youth into drug addiction. Total BS. It made me just as angry as the murder. The Beatles and John's music will live FOREVER.

  • Lennon is dead it doesn't mean he doesn't impact us anymore. I mean look at us half of us might start our own revolution here!

    (continued from last post)

  • Woe I typed in 'John Paul 1 murdered' and this showed up 0.0 Well I can see why now....

    Any who those peeps who want Chapman dead I don't blame you,but do you think John Lennon or Pope John Paul I would agree with you? St. Augustine once said,"Hate the sin,love the sinner." Also shouldn't we be happy John Lennon is dead? He is in a happier place now where there is peace I'm talking bout heaven. I bet one day maybe we'll join him and look over and just say,"Yo how's it going." Even though John

  • If you kill someone, even the guy who killed John, you are not a Lennon fan.If you are pro-war, even with terrorists.. you are not a Beatles fan. you miss the point and the message and just don't get it. there are ways to defeat violence but not with more violence.

  • the dakota house is were rosemarys baby was about.. a community of satanists. john lennon was killed here!

  • How can this happen to John Lennon and not Justin Bieber... 

  • @MrSeen63 you are an an a**hole, just because you don't like Justin Bieber, his life is less important

  • @MrSeen63 it's coming...

  • lennon stood for drugs, homosexual sex and communism, im glad he was shot and killed, he deserved it. mark david chapman is a huge world hero

    

  • @MikeWebbsDead you re a real stupid piece of shit in human which is still trolling to a guy already time long time ago. u are already stupid enough of waste time on this

  • @MikeWebbsDead U arsehole!! HOW COULD U SAY SUCH THINGS U DICKHEAD! Huge world hero, huh?! Go fuck yourself.

  • lennon was intelligent , had a huge following , stood for peace . they tried to kick him out of the country but lennon was to sharp for them , that failed . once he had his son lennon spent his life out of the limelight , it was only once he annouced that he was gonna enter the political arena they decided to murdered him cause they knew that they didnt have a chance of buying him out or that he would toe the line . he was a threat to them . all the hall marks of mind control ( mark chapman)

  • At 3:00 of the video, notice that the Reporters name is "Rita".........Does the Song "Lovely Rita" have any predestined meaning?

  • truly a shame, he should still be alive today. 

  • Just release this sick bastard from prison and he'd be killed within 10 seconds by John Lennon fans.

  • Ted Koppel has had that same ridiculous haircut for over 30 years?

  • Now I feel bad for being born on 12/08/93...

  • Like if yur looking for the user "katrin2801" XD

  • december 8 is my birthday

  • Chapman is a fat basterd who deserves to die UNDER A RAPISTS PENIS who would want 2 hurt john

  • It's fucking stupid how someone would think of shooting John Lennon. Chapman is a good-for-nothing bastard.

  • react to his death the way everyone did with John. Like they no one gives a shit. I'm not george's biggest fan either, but he's a million times better than John.. My opinion. Call me crazy. Troll. Whatever.

  • John Lennon is too fucking overrated. I don't understand... He wasn't great. The man was kind of a dick, especially later on in the years, like after the beatles break up.You all can argue with me, hate me, but it is my opinion. I didn't come on here to be a bitch about lennon, I'm just wondering why everyone is having a heart attack about him? Even Michael Jackson's death was way more devastating. That actually made me cry, and I'm not a crier. Also, what about George Harrison? People didn't

  • Mark chapman will surely develop a seriously painful and purulent penile gangrene infection. His schlong will simply drop off one day while he takes a leak in his prision bed pan. His nuts will necrose... it will hurt, fucker. It will smell. You know why? because you don't fuckin' shoot a Beatle dead and live a peaceful life in the comfort of Rikers where no one can lynch your sorry Hawaiian ass. Life has an odd way of balancing itself out. And if WE can't get to you... Penile gangrene will.

  • I HOPE I DONT SEE MARK DAVID CHAPMAN!!!!!!! IF U AGREE ADD A ):-( at the end of your comment if u agree

  • @BEATLESRAWSOME97 I agree! ):-(

  • ...John Lennon Ordered the Mason to expose

    so he was Killed by a Mason

  • the guy that shot John Lennon was a psycho. I wasnt even born yet but my parents told me about it.

  • WHY THE DID THAT FUCKIN MURDERER DID THIS?!!!!!! WHY!!!!!!!

  • he was a twat

  • @1979jondam _l_ :)

  • ((°J°)) ☮

  • Chapman is an innocent man!!

    They just used him.

  • @Plluriel wake up man, paranoid fool.. Chapman was a mad man.. thats all.

    Kill that fuckin mad man..

  • @diodepio I don't see how anyone that truly loves John hate on Chapman. If you want revenge on Chapman Then all your doing is going against what John would have want all of us to do. John wanted love not hate, yes I beleive what he did was a horrific act but I forgave Chapman and if John was alive today he would too.

  • @BobtheBlob7284 i know, i know.. its just a reaction to al the fucked up things some people do. in real live i would never do such a thing.. thanks for snapping your fingers...

  • @Plluriel

    They all want us to think that.

    Pick some fool,work on him,and he will do the job.

    Not so hard

    Its reality

  • Fuck you chapman..fucking bastard son of a bitch,stinky fat

    LENNON forever!!

  • 1980 looks very similar to 2010 in many ways.

  • John Lennon and Holden Caulfield are the most figures of Rebelion!

  • I was 7 years old when this happened and I remember it on all the news broadcasts.

  • I remember this day very well..........

  • Back when he was with the Beatles, someone asked him how do you think you will die, or something to that effect, he said" some nut will probabaly pop me off!" He pretty much knew his future...very creepy!! You are missed very much John, I was 11 when this happened & remember seeing it on TV & was shocked! 30 yrs this 12/8 he will be gone, I still can't beleive it!

    all he wanted was peace for the world & this was his fate?, for all the good he did??! To die this way! Chapman ROT IN HELL!

  • If I could go back in time once, I'd go to the 8th December that year and shot Chapman.

  • @radekbayek That's not what John would of wanted. He would be the first to forgive him and try to work things out. He would of did exactly what he preached, and try to make peace with.

    RIP John, we could really use you right now.

  • @EpiclyRandomz would've done*

  • @enriquesalazar009 Your point? My comment is still true and you know it.

  • I remember it well. Thirty years later,it still makes no sense

  • One of the saddest day in History! We all loved him & will miss him forever.....Rest in Peace John....

  • how many public figures today speak out against war? stand for feminism? how many music stars stand as a stark contrast to authority (other than a guise to sell more downloads?)

    Lennon spoke truth to power, questionned it. That such a voice is silent today speaks as much about Lennon`s spirit as it does the shame of public figures to cash in on greed and corportism rather than demonstrate any integrity

  • I cant even imagine what it must have been like to hear he died. I guess the only thing I can compare it to would be michael jackson. but GOD John Lennon!!! and he was murdered it must ave been so frustrating!! it still is!!!!

  • bad lip syncing...is there a better video?

  • Rita!? Rita?  Wake UP!!! LOL.

  • the biggest pacifist in the world was shot 5 times...

  • @james123454321 it's a terrible thing. why do the people who crave peace have to have just tragic ends? ghandi, JFK, RFK, MLK jr. ..........the list goes on and on and on. while others profit of of war, nonetheless

  • Poor Rita...She appeared to either be really rattled or she was a new journalist. It seems to be the "occurrence of rookies", since the two poor police dudes that attended to John were rookies as well. I know it wasn't their fault but I find myself thinking that fate should have allowed John all the best, with the entire situation. Alas it didn't.

  • Ode To John Lennon I know what it is to be commoner and yet be a king Everybody plays the game but don't mean a thing. John Lennon a working class Liverpool lad The emotions he expressed neither happy nor sad. A working class hero, wow! that's something to be We can all live and work, dream of times when we're free. Humble roots have shown us the enlightenment door A simple divide between rich and the poor. United we stand and divided we fall A working class hero is in us all.
  • This makes me sick!!! Just think of al the good music and Sean Lennon's time with his dad would made things different. He was comming back big time even more than Macca was at that time. Such a tradgety!!!!

  • why would anyone want 2 hurt john lennon?! u sick bastard!!!

  • @VampireXBella It's called mental illness honey. LOL

  • for a sure one purpose...

    had end his life with

    great carrer is not a joke..

  • @VampireXBella Same with you.

  • wat a minute a magnum has 6 shots not 7

  • I wish other inmates in prison would kill that scumbag mark chapman..

  • I love John Lennon x

  • i hope chapman made no money off all the sadness he caused for so many people.

  • @juker606 Mark Chapman's a douche

  • @beatleholic13 i know. lots of people are these days. odd how some people admire that in people.

  • LENNON MY HERO!!!!!

  • catcher in the rye written by a mad recluse influneced the cunt chapman fuck them both

  • @GlAsSaRm Hey, what Chapman did was horrible... I mean, he KILLED John Lennon, one of the most important figures of the 20th Century, definitely one of the Top 10 in terms of Culture.

    But be fair, you can't blame the AUTHOR for that... J.D. Salinger was a great author, and the book's a classic- and just because a madman abuses a classic doesn't mean it should be ruined for everyone, and you definitely can't blame it; plenty of people have read that and NOT shot the idols of their time.

    RIP

  • @GlAsSaRm If I had to pick between death, and saying hi to Chapman, I'd rather die.

  • Comment removed

  • Poor John..

  • Lennon was simple to much of a Genius to be allowed to live. To brilliant for this world,. RIP

  • 2westr is fucking right, the cunt has to ROT!

  • what a sick cunt.. Hope he rots in fucking hell !! Asking for his autograph and then hours later killing him !! MEN

  • Que que voce ouve na noite de Natal, seu aquilo???

    Duvido que seja jingo bell...

    Que que voce imagina que seja o mantra Imagine, Mané???

  • its so weird that people prayed for john...he hated religion and didnt believe in any kind of god or afterlife...

  • He did have spiritualist leanings, even if he didn't go for organised religion.

  • 6:43 that looks like a modern hair cut

  • By far the most horrific tragedy in the history of the human race.

  • I want Mark Chapman to DROP DEAD!!!

  • I don't, I want Mark Chapman to suffer... Suffer very very much

  • how come there were 7 wounds but only 5 bullets fired?

    did the cops finnish him off in the cop car?

  • entrance and exit wounds. 1 bullet = 2 wounds

  • lennon for ever !!!!chapamn of shit fuck bitch whore!!!

  • Lennon died on December 9th

  • retard it is the 8th

  • katrin2801 you are an idiot

  • If you got your back to the man, how can you duck???

  • john las generaciones estan recordando

  • RIP, John. You are missed. <3

  • 29 years man....wow missed more then ever i think this year with the beatle wave coming around yet again.

  • @katrin2801 if youre gunna troll, try not to be so obvious about it

  • Five shots that took another person's life. So now he deserves to have HIS life given back to him? The man will die in prison and, to be quite honest, he deserves every second he spends there. Good riddance!

  • Fuckin you.

    I didnt outrage your idol!

    It*s my point of view.

    Chapman must be dismissed.

  • John lives on.

  • how can an assasination be underrated?

  • one or more bullest could have gone in & come out the other side. The anniversary is in 3 weeks.

  • A second scenario that could result in more wounds than bullets is if a bullet passed through an arm or hand, and struck the torso.

  • John lennon what a great inspiration he has been. Yes I was not alive when he was around but when I listen to the beatles it honestly feels like i've known him forever...

  • @Gothicfaeiry3 I was (born 6 years before his death, not long before Sean) and in a way I'm glad I didn't really know the Beatles then, and don't even remember hearing about it on the news, because I would have been devastated. I am just now, at 36, learning the kind of person he was and the talents and good things he had about him.

  • I'll never forget it. I was 10 years old and I remember watching this. Hard to believe its been nearly 30 years. Bless you John, wherever you are.

  • Really too bad about John. =(

  • Well, maybe he reloaded the gun... think:P

  • Maybe I am missing something ..I'm no expert but, if Lennon was killed with a 38 snubnose revolver (5 bullet capacity).

    How is it that the interviewed doctor said that he had 7 bullet wounds???

    Another "magic bullet" x2...?

  • "How is it that the interviewed doctor said that he had 7 bullet wounds.. "

    He didn't say 7 bullet wounds he said he didn't know how many bullets but that there were 7 (internal) wounds. MDC shot Lennon with hollow point bullets. The original newscaster did say that MDC fired 7 times but that was in error as there were many errors in the reporting of this incident. You are right about the capacity. Mark emptied the .38 revolver but one bullet missed. the other 4 struck Lennon.

  • Entry and exit wounds. Anyone with an IQ higher than fifty could have worked that out for themselves.

  • The presenter in this piece later became a lamp shade

  • The lamp shade is now collecting unemployment and having sex with little boys.

  • "I read the news today o boy"..

  • John Lennon the heart of all that is good in a man

  • Who wrote the John Lennon ouija board letter?

  • can someone explain why doctor on this video is happy and has a grin on his face after such tragedy happened to world's musical heritage?

  • Screw that, I want to know why gazmash hasn't fixed the sound-video mix??

    The lips don't match the sound....but they did in 2007!

  • Because you snapperhead, it's annoying, and it shows you that the poster doesn't know what he or she is doing...you idiot.

  • dont call me an idiot your fucking prick! if you wanna complain bout shit like that go check your nerves for instability... you dickhead! and what the hell about poster, where was it?

  • michaelDouchbag5, you know what, i m done with you. if you wanna do shitmouthing here then go do it to yourself or keep to yourself. and btw sound on this video is SUPER! End of story, phagot. (haha, snapperhead is that all you have in your vocabulary, no other words?)

  • Come on Ismay and Michael, Give Peace a Chance!

  • Comment removed

  • okay. i'm game..

  • watch your goddamn mouth!!!

  • Hey fuck breath, u still around, u EuroTrash piece of shit???

  • euro shit?? wtf then why do you bother to watch this video about EUROPEAN, u dipshit

  • It's hard hearing the words 'John Lennon is dead'.

    That fat fuck Mark David Chapman.

  • RIP John My Hero. And If U Think Mark David Is A Hero, F.U! You Must Hadnt Had Known John, John Is Totally Sweet & Down To Earth. You'll NEVER See Another Man Like John Again.

  • The government DID kill him!! Conquer and Destroy!! That`s a key that they DID kill him!!!!!!! They conqured and destoyed our key to peace!!!!!!!!! Long live John, and lets keep his dream alive.

  • no mark iz stil alive

  • first Elvis, John Lennon, and now Michael Jackson. R.I.P.

  • Yes, a totally agree. I know it. The US prostitute government did it bcoz John was against the war with Vietnam. As he was extremely popular, a lot of people followed him in that nice intention.

  • That's crazy that he could empty the gun and not a single bullet hit Yoko. Not saying at all that one should have that's just weird...was he ex military or something?

  • I remember I was three days away from turning 8 yrs old when this happened. I knew the Beatles a little from my Dad, but was too little to understand. I just remember my father being very upset and it was all over the news and SOOO sad. They started playing Beatles movies on TV again that week. I am now a huge Beatles fan, and this footage makes me cry.

  • All I remember was being there about 2 hours after it happened, sitting on a bench on Central Park West just south of 72nd Street with some friends in the drizzly rain, before the crowds started coming, looking up at the 7th floor of the Dakota and crying. What a loss.

  • THE USA GOVERNMENT KILL HIM! motherfuckers i hate this government they r so corrupt! they hide a lot things that it never get exposed to the nation fuckers!

  • mark chapman how dare you. you bastard.

  • Please die.. painful.

  • If that's your opinion that's fine...but to go and comment like that on a video about his death is ridiculous.

  • You're fucking sick. You should kill yourself, you will be doing the world a favor.

  • he shot seven shots fron a six shooter?

  • no...seven wounds including entry & exit sites

  • Chapman got what he was after. He will always be associated with Lennon. Why does evil prevail?

  • Some people just need to be liquidated, yet he survives, costing the New York taxpayer thousands of dollars every year to house him.

  • My point was that Chapman needs to be put to death people. Christ. are u all stupid??

  • i will kill mark david chapman

  • I was barely 3 years old when this happened...still sad to this day.

  • i hope chapman is dead now

  • Unfortunately, he's still alive...he should've shot himself instead.

  • according to a tv producer who happened to be there at that moment (in the hospital) he said that ALL MY LOVING was being played at the hospital when lennon´s body arrived

  • fuck you Chapman

  • "You either get tired of fighting for peace, or you die!"

  • well he said at LEAST 5 times. gotta pay attention jimmy.

  • does anyone notice something weird first he says 5 shots then they say 7 then they said he used a revolver buddy last time i checked revolvers had 6 bullets

    and first he says the man "crouched in police style position" and fired then a POLICE MAN put John Lennon in the back of a car

    im so very confused
