John Lennon's killer denied parole for an 11th time

[ArizonaLib]

18. Accepting that nothing can bring John back - I agree justice is possible w/o indeterminate sentences

The only thing we can bring is that John would have wanted us to move forward as a planet. We must find a way to remove as much revenge from justice. Fair justice is the scariest and the most effective deterrent if one is guilty and the most healing for those wronged. I don't know what type of incarceration John's murderer (the others don't use his name) serves under but it must be examined if max is necessary. I understand that the American system is not fair right now or may never be, so modifications without restarting it yields pointless debate. One thing we can do is push and hit the streets for change. John was always willing to demand fixing pointless unjust status quo, and to do whatever he could to for everything and everyone else.

Pat Buchannon: "He sounded like John Lennon!"
The whole thing is screwed up. I remember after Obama's inauguration speech, Pat Buchannon snickered in response that 'he sounded like John Lennon'. That was his near complete initial response. Previously some had said the CIA or incoming Reagan administration was behind silencing John, which previous to Buchannon's remark I thought was far fetched but it made me wonder. My response to Obama's inauguration was that we had him as president, and he was our generation's Bobby Kennedy and was hoping beyond hope that he would make it to serve safely. When I heard Buchannon say that, I figured he was fantasizing that Obama would not serve long. I was pissed. Still am. Still don't believe in virtual or actual death penalties.

We have to keep our heads.
