Mark Chapman Denied Parole Again.

Mark Chapman, the man who killed John Lennon, has been denied bail for the sixth time, nearly 30 years after shooting the former Beatle outside his New York home.

From The Telegraph:

A parole board decided not to release Chapman after interviewing him on Tuesday by teleconference at Attica Correctional Facility in upstate New York.

It was Chapman’s sixth appearance before the board since becoming eligible for parole in 2000. He will be eligible again in 2012.

Chapman, 55, had been scheduled to appear last month, but the hearing was postponed by parole officials, who said at the time they were awaiting additional information.

After Tuesday’s decision, the board wrote to Chapman that it remains concerned about “the disregard you displayed for the norms of our society and the sanctity of human life when, after careful planning, you traveled to New York for the sole purpose of killing John Lennon.”

The panel said “release remains inappropriate at this time and incompatible with the welfare of the community.”

Among those who have opposed his release is Lennon’s now 77-year-old widow, Yoko Ono, who said last month that she believed Chapman is a potential threat to her family and perhaps himself.

The former maintenance man from Hawaii was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison after firing five shots outside Lennon’s Manhattan building on Dec. 8, 1980, hitting Lennon four times in front of his wife and others. He pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.

At his last parole hearing, in 2008, Chapman told the panel he was ashamed and sorry for what he had done and had since developed a deeper understanding of the value of a human life.

He said he had been seeking notoriety and fame to counter feelings of failure.

After that interview, parole officials noted that Chapman had not been disciplined in prison since 1994 and said he had adjusted to his incarceration. But they denied release “due to concern for the public safety and welfare,” according to the written decision.

Chapman was informed of the panel’s most recent finding a few hours after the hearing. The state Division of Parole is expected to release a transcript of the interview within the next several days.

Lennon would have turned 70 this October.

Conspiracy Theories: “September Clues”.

What do you think of conspiracy theories?
Where do you stand on that one?

If someone says to me “Man never went to the Moon”,
I tend to think:
“Aye we fucking did.
How the hell do you know how light and shadows and gravel and gravity work on the Moon?”

“How do you know?”

I think we went to the Moon and I also think Buzz Aldrin was right to smack that guy in the chops for suggesting otherwise.

Most of the time,
I couldn’t care less about conspiracy theories.

Mark Chapman programmed by the F.B.I to shoot Lennon?
– Don’t care.

Jimmy Hoffa whacked out by the mafia?
– Don’t care.

Area 51?
– I just don’t care.

World Trade Centre taken down by missiles and not planes and completely covered up by the media?
– I care about that one.

I’ve always had a secret interest in that one because of the sheer scale of it and I remember it very clearly.
When it comes down to it,
Far too many things about September 11th 2001 don’t make any sense.
They just don’t.

Most people are completely content to believe what the news shows and tells them to believe.
You could spend a lifetime going through everything online about it but I’d recommend watching the documentary “September Clues”.
See what you think after watching that.

And ta-da!
