i know he was shot, but ive been searching on the internet, and i couldnt find any theories on why he was killed. wasnt the killer crazy? (well he must have been on some level.) i was wondering if yall knew the answer.

I saw something on TV about it a while ago. If I remember correctly it was a crazy fan who heard a little voice inside his head telling him to kill John Lennon. But I'm not quite sure.

There have been so many suggestions over the years… the most radical was the idea of a anti liberal group wanting him to stop the “peace and equality” ideas and killed him. What ever the ultimate reason it was a great shame. :(

I've read a book about it once and there were all kind of theories in there, but I never got to finish because it was stolen from my back. I really should buy it again!

All I heard was that he was crazy. so that seems to be a popular theory.

This is what I found on the internet;

And this must be scarry!

I think he was deffinitly crazy :(

Thats the one that I have heard, and I'm using that for my Senior Project that I'm doing on the Beatles (gotta do it to Graduate).

However, I really dont think anybody knows the real truth.

whatever happened to mark chapman?

Didn't he get out of prisson a short while ago? I tought I heard something about that on the radio a few months ago.....

I was told that he was a huge fan, and he shot him to prove to a girl that he would do anything for her.
