    I can’t believe he killed a legend just because his own life sucked and he couldn’t “hack the system” called life. He was so young. He had his whole life to try and try again as everyone does. Even John Lennon himself struggled with his own demons. Is he any happier now? He could’ve been. He wasn’t homeless, so he had that going for him. Sometimes you gotta hit rock bottom before you figure out how to swim back up again. I’ve done it many times but I always find a way to swim back up. It’s life. Some are luckier than others but that’s also life. All you can do is try. It’s better than being in a cell as he is now.

    This documentary seems to blame J D Salinger. Salinger’s ‘Catcher in the Rye’ is many people’s favorite work of fiction, including myself. As a teenager I identified with the hero Holden Caufield, as many teenagers since the 1950s have done so. However, sane persons grow up and mature past hero worship. Sane persons don’t murder as fictional characters. Chapman was a deranged individual who never grew up. Signing his copy of ‘Catcher’ to Holden Caufield from Holden Caufield speaks volumes. I signed my copy New York city, and the date purchased. For John Lennon to have been murdered by a lunatic still saddens me. I also felt sorrow for J D Salinger who was still alive at the time of Lennon’s murder. Outrageous that Salinger should bear any blame, as the documentary implied. Written on what should have been Lennon’s 79th birthday. RIP John Lennon and J D Salinger.

    Mark David Chapman, in a strange way, was the perfect killer for John Lennon. A man whose lyrics were read into far too deeply, was killed by a man who read into the metaphorical meaning of a book far too deeply. Who took his own feelings of inadequacy, jealousy, obsession and rage and turned the subtext around to affiliate with a fictional character who was fighting against ‘phoniness’. In reality Chapman was an obsessed man, no surprise a musician himself, who had jealous rage for John Lennon he hid behind the interpreted meaning of some book he read. Jealousy inadequacy and obsession is a dangerous mix, people will kill others to fight their real feelings of inferiority.

    I always felt something didn't add up with this man. John was all about peace and love. However he wasn't without serious faults with the way he treated his first family. His killer was no doubt mentally ill.

    Anyone who thinks that Mark Chapman was a crazy guy who killed my father for personal reasons is either not right or naive, "said John Lennon's son Sean. The official version went so far that Lennon's killer was a frustrated fan. But the labor and destitute guard Chapmann had traveled around the world in the pre-murder era, staying in Lebanon, where the CIA maintained a secret training camp. One of the psychiatrists who judged Chapmann in court. Milton Kline, was a member of a secret training program "Mind Control", which examined, among other things, how to "program" people. Back then there was the project COINTELPRO at the FBI and later the OPERATION CHAOS, with which prominent exponents of the anti-war movement, the hippie scene and the cannabis-activists were monitored and defamed. "Targeted killings" were officially among the methods. Incidentally, it is mentioned in the Cannabis Culture article that even the infamous Manson murders that defamed the substance LSD were probably staged by OPERATION CHAOS.

    I thought the Catcher in the Rye was more funny than anything else. There really wasn't much of a plot in the story. Just a sketch of a smart 16 year old kid who is flunking out of school, because of boredom, basically. And then he wanders around New York City for three days. That is pretty much it. I certainly didn't take any grand vision from it. To me, just an amusing, well written short tale.

    I was 9 years old when this happened. This is how I found out who The Beatles & John Lennon were. Scary way to find out when you're just a kid still. Makes an interesting statement about Mental Illness. When I was young I wanted to meet certain celebrities. Not kill them. But as I got older I realised that these people aren't who they are in the public image. Some I would still like to meet & some I'm glad I didn't. When I was young I wanted to be a rock star. Thank God that never happened. I wouldn't like the publicity & I don't want to be hunted down by someone with these problems.

    Terribly sad still. When you consider the things that Lennon coped with and overcame in his early life and his private life, with fame beyond comprehension, personal demons, a life of contradictions...to reach 40 and seem to be really happy and content for the first time, only to be murdered. I don't paint Lennon as some kind of a saint. He was a human being and had plenty of faults just like you and me, but he was an incredible talent and whether you are a fan or not The Beatles and his role in the group changed music forever. He didn't deserve such a grissly violent and shocking end to a short and brilliant life. Chapman is a mystery to me. Was he really mentally sick or just another dejected loser, washed up and angry at the world. What a truly bizarre and tragic tale.

    Mark Chapman got his 15 minutes of fame. But those few minutes of fame will cost him dearly because he will never be a free man again. He has been denied parole 10 times already, and chances are if he applies again he will be denied parole again. That's his destiny.

    It's only how a work of art affects someone. In a sense we own the material once we take it in as we interpret it in our own unique way. The way a person measures a work of art is a good indication of their sanity and spiritual and mental health.
