Cinematic Lily just ruined my Post

I knew he was shot right in front of his apartment building gate standing there with Oko. I remember seeing it happening on the news because it was on the TV for quite some time.
It's kinda a coincidence that you would ask this question about John Lennon. Because I have been listening to his song "Woman" all week because it's on my YouTube playlist. My late boyfriend had sent it to my phone one day because it was his song to me.
In the video that I have been watching over and over again it's sad because we see them together and so happy walking through the park and Oko has her through his arm - just walking together through the park.
Then it shows the gate and the tragedy. The next scene she is sitting alone on a park bench with the snow on the ground and pulls out a cigarette and sits there all alone smoking her cigarette. Missing John and thinking about him I would imagine.
She lives on their farm near Franklin, New York where she is going to live out the rest of her life.

She's in a wheelchair now and her health isn't so good. It has her address to write ✍🏼 to her and I am going to send her a nice greeting card with some special words in it. I just got the card out the other day and I am planning on mailing it to her very soon.
RIP John 🧸💐🌺🌹🌸🪻🌷

I meant to say Yoko Ono but was 1/2 asleep when I answered your question

I don't know probably someone who had a grudge towards him.

Mark David Chapman shot and killed John Lennon on December 8, 1980. Chapman was an American Beatles fan who was angry and envious of Lennon's lifestyle.
Why did Chapman kill Lennon?
Chapman was inspired by Holden Caulfield, a fictional character from The Catcher in the Rye. Caulfield is a "phony-killer" who hates hypocrisy.
Chapman was resentful of Lennon and wanted to emulate Caulfield.
Chapman was enraged by Lennon's comment that the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus" in 1966.
Where did the shooting take place?
Lennon was shot in the archway of the Dakota, his residence in New York City.
Where is Chapman now?
Chapman is incarcerated at Green Haven Correctional Facility.

[BobbieBoy666]

Long as Yoko Ono is still alive Mark David Chapman will remain in prison.

John Lennon should have never been a heretic

[AI Opinion]

John Lennon was shot by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980, in New York City. Chapman was reportedly motivated by a combination of his obsession with Lennon and feelings of betrayal over Lennon's lifestyle, which Chapman perceived as hypocritical compared to his earlier ideals. Chapman was also influenced by the novel "The Catcher in the Rye," which he was holding at the time of the shooting. It is a tragic event in music history that resonated worldwide. 🙏🎶

[FunkyMonkee]

That's what the mass media wants everyone to believe.

[OlderAndWiser]

Death to all bots!

[Pet68]

@FunkyMonkee Well, what do you think happened then?

[FunkyMonkee]

@Pet68 He was programed to do it.
Mark was a Montauk boy. They are kidnapped, tortured and then programed to kill targets on demand.
John had been in Nixon's crosshairs for quite some time and I'm pretty sure it was him that had John killed.
They'd call Mark on the phone, say the trigger word to open his programing (it's like partitioning a hard drive but with a password that accesses the other partition and one doesn't know the other partition exists), tell him the target and let him go. Once the target is killed, he's been programmed to forget completely about it and switch back to his normal persona. That's why he stood there reading as soon as he shot John and, to this day, still doesn't recall ever having done it.

[Pet68]

@FunkyMonkee LOL :D
You're funny!

[FunkyMonkee]

@Pet68 Thank you but, I didn't make any jokes.

[Pet68]

@FunkyMonkee Wait! You were serious?

[FunkyMonkee]

@Pet68 Look it up!

[FunkyMonkee]

You don't know? Mark Chapman!! Because he was programed to.
Mark was a Montauk boy. They are kidnapped, tortured and then programed to kill targets on demand.
John had been in Nixon's crosshairs for quite some time and I'm pretty sure it was him that had John killed. Call Mark on the phone, say the trigger word to open his programing, tell him the target and let him go.

As for my grandfather I’m going to use his famous words & those words are as followed. “I Smell A Rat.” Personally I smell a rat as well & if truth be told I don’t think Mark David Chapman did it as Cinematic Lily stated.

Government involvement on this one.

[Pet68]

Don't blame the bot for wrecking your question. After all, you did ask, and "she" did give you the answer. Isn't that what you wanted?

[Asker]

@pet68
I want answers from you and the G@G community, not AI 🤖 Robots

[strateguy632]

In contrast to the agenda in some answers here, the real reason was as a fan he wanted lennon more fame than anyone.

The other reasons here would not fit the motive of a fan!

[ohsheeT]

I for get the guys name. . right now. . Errr starts with an i I think.. I believe he's been. Released from prison or is it a halfway home now? I think

Maybe his name is inkley

[Nikki1989]

Mark Chapman. With one gunshot, he not only killed Lennon, but something that will never be replaced. The end of an era right there, gone. Deplorable.

[exitseven]

Some crazy kid named David Chapman who had an obsession with Jodie Foster shot John Lennon outside his hotel to impress her.

I am pretty sure he is still locked up.

[RavVid]

Some insignificant person - whose name we can't remember - seeking significance by killing someone significant is my thought.

[leahzrc]

He was murdered as a sacrifice for fame and glory.
It was a satanic ritual though, so there is to be a lot of punishment for this.

[Bricealan]

@jennz6 Don't know, and never understood any rational for that, even though "cinematic Lily' did express a motivation.

[andreasderjuengere]

According to Republicans it was either Joe Biden or Kamala Harris :D

Why - because it mobilizes supporters and voters.

[chrissykerdock]

mark chapman because lennon didn't like southerners

[Elliegirl]

Mark David Chapman shot John Lennon. No idea why.

[OlderAndWiser]

Mark Chapman, a crazy man who did a crazy thing.

[Likes2drive]

Looks like AI Lily got all the facts correct and answered your question correctly

[FunkyMonkee]

Not really.

[Likes2drive]

@FunkyMonkee well that’s what my teacher told me in high school at the time when it was current news except for a few things that I found out later on that he wanted his music to go up in value after he died so that was another crazy reason Chapman had for doing it unless you have another conspiracy theory about it since I know you were long out of high school when it happened

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah, that's what most people were told and still believe.
No theory. Because he was programed to.
Mark was a Montauk boy. They are kidnapped, tortured and then programed to kill targets on demand.
John had been in Nixon's crosshairs for quite some time and I'm pretty sure it was him that had John killed. Call Mark on the phone, say the trigger word to open his programing, tell him the target and let him go.

That's why he stood there reading as soon as he shot John and, to this day, still doesn't recall ever having done it.

[Likes2drive]

@FunkyMonkee sounds like one of those movies and I can’t imagine John being a threat to any political figure, he was also a stalker fan of John for quite some time and had stuff in his room to prove his obsession. If he didn’t have anything showing that and if John had issues with Nixon then it would be more believable that he was sent to kill John but I’ve seen many movies like that and usually the killer gets killed to cover it up

[FunkyMonkee]

Nixon thought he was. That's why John had so much trouble acquiring the ability to live here in the early `70's.

[CubaPirate]

The CIA he was at risk of becoming a revolutionary leader

[Nice222]

The C. I. A killed him using Chapman because they were scared he would start a revolution.

[NathanDavis]

it wasn't me...
