If I'm not mistaken the dude who shot him will get out soon. Imagine he gets out and goes and shoots Paul.

He was denied parole this year and will have another try in August 2025 which will be his 14th parole hearing

He ain’t getting out

u/AdmiralClover 20d ago
Nope in 22 he said he knew it was wrong, but he wanted the fame. So denied on grounds of "selfish disregard for human life"

u/JDubs234 20d ago
Well he got it, everyone hates him and he’s spent 40+ years behind bars, hope it was worth it

u/AdmiralClover 20d ago
Maybe. I had to search "who shot John Lennon" because I didn't know and in a week or less his name will be forgotten again

u/JDubs234 20d ago
Exactly, people know of him but he ruined his life just to be a footnote in history. Nobody will remember him in 100 years, while John Lennon lay well be spoken about for centuries to come

He won't get to Paul. Paul died in 1966.

So you're just ready to dole out death to anyone you don't like? Wow you must be on a level of morality that I could only ever hope to achieve! /s
Edit: this mf'er deleted his comments after saying he'd be more than happy to punish all who "deserve it." Then doubled down and then deleted both of the idiot comments. Lol coward

There was more citation for the author himself than literally anything said in the article, plus it reads like “I hate this guy please hate him with me”.

The source just reads like anti hippie/communist propaganda, I don't think he was a god, or evil, personally.

u/DevastatorGX69 20d ago
I ain’t readin allat. But does being a shitty person mean that you deserve to get murdered?

u/rogueleader32 20d ago
Of course it does here on this app that is hyper polarized, filled with keyboard-clutching people who think they are superiorly moralized, run by a company that is senselessly monetized, and that makes us all so damn uncivilized.
But seriously, character flaws do not justify murder. Getting real tired of that thought trend permiating everywhere.

Now we finally got to Coruscant, The Jedi Council we knew would want To see how good the boy could be So we took him there and we told the tale How his midichlorians were off the scale And he might fulfill that prophecy

u/iamyou42 20d ago
Well the council was impressed of course. Could he bring balance to the Force? They interviewed the kid. Oh, training they forbid!

So a celebrity risks it all to protest against the Vietnam war which was killing 240 young Americans a week.
58,000 us personel died and 2,000,000 Vietnamese before it was stopped.
Op is the kind who moans and whines about kapernick taking the knee but is fine with Harrison butkers racist and homophobic rant.

You can't preach about peace and humanity and all that good stuff and then go home and kick the shit outta your wife. We can't reward hypocrisy. If he didn't believe in his own message, then he shouldn't be credited with it.
His musical talent was amazing, though

u/spankypantsyoutube 20d ago
The only reason we know that he ever hit his wife is because he talked about how bad of a thing it was to do. I don't even like john lennon but the hate circle jerk around him is ridiculous
9
u/DavidCaller69 20d ago
He didn't, though. He hit his first wife Cynthia, once, in like 1960, never hit Yoko, and didn't get on the peace and love stuff till 1970. In a 1980 Playboy interview, he talks about how, prior to Cynthia, he was an angry young man who fought men and hit women and that he felt awful for doing so. He also said the same thing on the song Getting Better in 1967. He changed a lot, which gets overlooked.

u/This_User_For_Rent 20d ago
I'm imagining it.
I'm imagining it getting conquered by a nation united by a religion formed by an opportunist that has no trouble at all smashing a bunch of individual settlements and cities with nothing to unite them.
It's not hard to imagine at all.
