Yesterday the 8 december was the 30th anniversary of the death of John Lennon. His killer, Mark David Chapman comes up for parole next year after having a previous request refused last year.
The simple question is, should he be paroled after having served the requisite term or should he be released if the Parole Board no longer considers him a threat to society ?
The 'fear' is he won't last long if/when released...
The title of this (and this is the first time I've heard this )...is horribly ironic....

Ah !.....Psychopaths..where would we be without them ?
brings back memories , an accoustic version....
He has had his parole refused every 2 years since 2000, this time won’t be any different.
The indicators at the time were that he was not 'normal'. For instance, he had no actual motive for killing Lennon. So the 30 years in hokey will have done little to give him a place in 'normal' society as a 'normal' citizen. Ultimately, there is no answer, perhaps 'Let it be...'.
Maybe the US Govt will need to give him a new identity ?
Bet he's thinking "Don't Let Me Down'...
Someone's bound to ask him ' How do you sleep'...
You are right though,he may prefer that his parole request is refused.
I 'Imagine' you may be right Chris.
He will need some 'Help' cos' he will be a 'Nowhere Man' who may be 'Crippled Inside'...
It's no secret that dozens will be waiting for retribution to avenge the death of their hero.
Somebody might decide to dish out some ‘Instant Karma’…
