Mark David Chapman, John Lennon's Killer, Denied Parole For 7th Time In NY

[Trunk Monkey]

14. Re: Lennon deserves equal justice, too

I agree but I'm not sure how to give it to him.

we're Progressives remember? That means we treat every one equally and fairly even people like MDC.

If the only reason he's still in prison is who he killed that's wrong.

If he would have been out by now if he'd killed someone else's kid (or dad, or husband) that's wrong.

If the parole board can point to a valid reason to keep him in jail longer than other killers, or can show that he isn't being kept longer than other killers I'm OK with that.

But if all we're doing is saying let him rot because we're angry that he killed John Lennon that's not justice or Progressive
