whether 24 years is long enough a sentence for murder is another matter.
But I for one am not prepared to sign a petition that effectively is calling for somebody to be denied their freedom on the grounds their victim was famous.
If it was a petition calling for consistant sentencing of convicted criminals regardless of colour, nationality or wealth, that might be worth signing, but I guess nobody else would be interested because the average victim of crime doesn't make great music.

| Wanted to bring up a fact about Mr. Lennon. Very tight with his money. As for the Anysley Dubbar reference, he was in the Zappa/Mothers configuration in the early 70's In fact Lennon/Yoko came to infamous Fillmore East June 1971 show(second night- and were horrible by the way, but not the point). Anyhow, Mr. Dunbar was in the musician's union here and just wanted his usual fee for being on the live session. When he asked Lennon, his reply was to go '**** himself!!!!' As Anysely put, and with all the money the LENNONS have. Wasnt it that When he and Cynthia divorced, she only got some 'pocket change' of $50,000, which may seem like a lot but considered the Fab Fours Success? As Julian Cope, 'Don't Call Me Mark Chapman.' Peace till the next... |
