I don''t like Yoko Ono. I think she''s a hypocrite, promoting peace when it suits her and suing everyone and anyone who dares to paint John''s likeness or even have the name "Lennon." Lawsuits do NOT promote PEACE, Yoko.

However, to say, even as a joke, that MDC would have been a "hero" if he''d shot her instead is ignorant and sick.

I''m glad MDC will not be released. He shouldn''t be. He robbed the world of a great talent.

RIP John.

No one really knows what Mark David Chapman''s mind is like after 28 years since he murdered John Lennon. He has spent over half of his life incarcerated.

I believe that the corrections department probably considered the idea that Mark David Chapman may be a candidate as a victim of a violent crime or homicide if released.

There is a problem in our country with attention addiction and the crazy things people do to get it. Authority defiance syndrome is contagious and rampant in our pop culture. Mixing authority defiance and attention addiction invites violence.

The citizens of the USA created that problem and the citizens of the USA have to solve it.

Why didn''t he get the death penalty? Be off with him and stop wasting our taxpayer dollars to care for this heartless and soul-less murderer.

Imagine there''s no freedom. I wonder if you can...

Sorry, bud, but you got what you deserved by mercilessly slaughtering an innocent person.

He kills an innocent person and we''ve kept this guy for 27 years. I bet he''s more comfortable than a lot of people are right now.

Awwwww, let the poor baby out. It''s been 27 years and I want to see just how long he lives on the outside. I''m sure there is a John Lennon fan out there that would like a little attention too.

When he can give Lennon his life back then he should be considered for parole.
