What is the name of John Lennon's murderer?

The killer wanted his name linked with Mr. Lennon for all time. We should forget it and refer to him as unkown insane person

i will be that age this year. i was taught about talented musicians very young, and the Beatles the were epitome of that. we lost him too soon. we don't need to treat guns. we need to treat people; to stop the violence ,even today.

His murderer should not be given any publicity. It just adds to his unjust fame.

Mark Champman should've been given the death sentence

John was the brain of the Beatles, Paul was the heart, George was the soul and Ringo the blood and guts.

What is a tight childhood?!

Mark David Chapman should never be out of jail!

an incredible man..much loved and continues to inspire hopes of ☮️ and love for us all!..the world needs more John Lennon's right now!

I was never aware that he was a fan. Why would a fan kill a man that he admired? I guess I don't know much of the history! Either way, this is very sad and the world lost a great man that day.

Amzette Denise Auld, he was a fan who has delusions and wanted notoriety. He had been hanging out at Lennon’s apartment and had even gotten an autograph earlier. He was sick in the head!

I live in and around NYC so obviously I would know this. How I wish I could forget...

remusmckellen1, yes but there probably wouldn't be enough LSD to go around! Just saying..

Read Catcher in the Rye in high school. class assignment. Didn't understand it. I guess I was too young and naive. All I can remember is a disturbing feeling while reading it.

Player #19370, I saw a TV documentary years ago on Lennon's murder and in it they said his killer was a religious fanatic and when he heard that Lennon once said The Beatles were more popular than Jesus he started having feelings of killing him.

I remember when the Beatles had first landed in America, I was five listening to my transistor radio when they're arrival was announced. I still think they were one of the best rock and roll bands ever. being a Texan myself, if I saw him, I'd shake his hand and thank him and the wonderful band mates for Rocking out World!

Mark David Chapman should never see the light of day!

Player #19370, because he's nuts

Berberries, that's what I would like to know

Agreed Delete this question Only serves to validate this repugnant person's evil deed Shame

One word. “Imagine” .. listen to it…. He was incredible…. All the Beatles touched our lives in many ways..

Many of us choose not to use his name. He murdered John Lennon to be famous. Let his name be lost to history. We call him "The Murderer." The person who burnt down the Great Library of Alexandra did so to be famous; therefore, in all accounts of his trial and execution he is called simply "The Arsonist " and he is not famous. Sadly, doing this to Chapman is not possible, but we can try.

I watch the Now and Then video on YouTube almost every day. It shows videos of the band In the early years and now...minus John. Beautiful song but sad

Player #19370, he wasn't a great man. he was a great musician and song writer.

Shilo Harrington, he won't Yoko Ono attends every parole hearing and ensures that he will never be released.

Gunslinger007, You can't go around censoring people's speech because you don't like the subject matter. This is America, and people are going to say things you don't like all your life. You have to get over it.

Basha440, need to ban assault weapons and help people

Player #184254, what a pity they didn't let him die of his suicide attempts

prikette41214, the statistics tell the story. America has the highest recidivism rates in the world. Murder and gun related crimes are higher in America than in countries that have banned guns. Just because you are law abiding doesn't protect you ...Lennon was law abiding. So were the assassinated presidents, and the children killed in mass shootings. Guns make killing easier.

J, I'm still crying.

I’ve just finished the novel The Last Days of John Lennon good read, Chapman was obsessed with ending Lennons life. I remember my Mum crying when he was killed, we bought her Imagine for her Birthday it made her cry again that’s how powerful Lennons music was.

I was across the street from the Dakota the night Lennon was murdered. I was going home from the doctor’s office. I was waiting for the bus to go home. It was three hours before the murder and I was contemplating going across the street to hang out there because I heard that Leonard Bernstein lived in the Dakota. I wasn’t thinking of John Lynn at all when I looked across the street. I really didn’t know that John Lynn lived in the Dakota. I thought of Bernstein and I believe you know the other celebrities that was there that I might be interested in, but I wasn’t thinking about John Lennon and I’m a Beatles fan. However, I’m glad that I decided to take the bus home and not hang out, because possibly, knowing me, I would’ve gotten involved because that’s the kind of person I am and it would’ve been horrible. Who knows if I would’ve gotten hurt. But I remember that night. It was cold very cold. When I arrived home, I went to sleep and I was living with someone of the time and around 10 o’clock. My boyfriend woke me up and said to me someone killed John Lennon he’s dead. What a miserable night and a really tormenting morning.

Grieved me to answer this question correctly.

His name should never be mentioned, ever!

Player #539696, if that were true, John Lennon would still be alive.

Glad I didn't know this answer.

Cathy, Its not actually ‘fame’, it’s better described as infamy.

Player #34167858, Read about Japan's gun laws. They don't have the problems that the USA have because of those laws!!

Gunslinger007, I don’t think it’s necessary to delete the question, other people might not know some of these facts I do agree he shouldn’t have any fame but it’s part of history and people should be able to access it

Player #184254, I don’t believe in the concept of an eye for an eye that would make him a martyr in the eyes of some people not mine but some..

Hngmn98, That’s a great point he doesn’t deserve the fame
