  • December 8th, 1980, the death date of John Lennon. A former member of The Beatles, John Lennon was killed outside of the Dakota building in New York City. John Lennon was just 40 years old. In this episode, we’re going to explain why Mark David Chapman killed John Lennon, and show you John Lennon's assassination video (animated video reconstruction).
    On a cold December night, Mark David Chapman, a man who killed John Lennon, was sitting in the arch of Dakota building waiting for John Lennon. John’s limousine pulled over next to Dakota. Yoko Ono got out first, Lennon - second. As Lennon entered the arch, he saw Chapman and recognized the fellow who had asked him for an autograph a few hours earlier. Yeah, that sounds crazy, but just a few hours before shooting Lennon, Chapman had managed to get his autograph.

    My Grandmother actually met John Lennon about a week before he died. He would buy clothing to donate to a local donation shelter and would stop by frequently. My Grandmother was one of the people who worked there. He was supposed to stop by the place on the day he died but it never happened.

    John once said “I'm not afraid of death because I don't believe in it.
    It's just getting out of one car, and into another.” (I understand his vision, meaning something else is going on, another form of life after death maybe) but it's creepy because that's how things went on that night at the Dakota... He got out of the limo, shots were fired, policemen arrived promptly on the scene, among them Police officers Bill Gamble and Jim Moran took him immediately into their police car (John incredibly still had a pulse, no time to wait for ambulance) drove to the Roosvelt Hospital... and John probably had his last breath in this police car.

      I read a different story.
      No time to wait for the police, he was placed in a cab.
      This was the driver giving the account.
      He didn't know who his passenger was.
      John was still alive but crouched on the back seat facing down.
      Driver asked who he was and he was able to say "John Lennon".
      Driver was surprised and said "The John Lennon?"
      But no answer ever came out.
      John was totally quiet from thereon.
      Upon reaching the 🏥, he was attempted to be revived like hell by the trauma team for 30 mins.
      The truth, he was actually DOA.
      Further investigation showed, John never had a chance.
      The very first bullet alone already blasted away the Right Aorta and other vital blood vessels which no one can survive from.
      It was actually amazing how he was able to take those bullets, remained upright & staggering, and even said "I got shot!" twice.
      Continued to stagger up to the footsteps of his condo bldg before collapsing.
      I wanted to believe this more because it would still take a few mins for cops to arrive.
      The cab was already there waiting for prospective passengers.

    The thing is when John made the statement of "The Beatles is more popular than Jesus" he was actually on about how the number of christianity beliefs had been declining and at this point it felt as if The Beatles was more popular than Christianity, he was actually just sharing his concern on that. He even explained it too many times.

      True. When I first glanced at his "Bigger than Jesus" statement, I thought he's just making a hyperbole joke. But when I read about how people were very offended by what he said, I realized how serious this is. When I read the full statement, it turns out John isn't being anti-religious in his statement. He's telling people how, as time goes by, more people would will stop believing in religion and they would rather go to a Beatles concert than in church. And the last part, "Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me." What he meant was Jesus was ok, but there are SOME Christians who twist the Bible's words and force it down other people's throats, which might be one of the reasons why some Christians are beginning to stop believing in religion.
      This whole controversy reminds me of Friedrich Nietzsche and his 'God is Dead' quote and people took it out of context.

  • @BrytonBand
    @BrytonBand 3 ปีที่แล้ว +306

    In my view, the thing that gets really overlooked about John’s death, specifically why it was so tragic, is because his life was truly just beginning.
    To explain what I mean, John’s father neglected him growing up and his mother died when he was just a child. He had a loving, yet authoritative, auntie that looked after him for the rest of his youth. You could imagine (no, really) that he really didn’t know how properly manage his emotions.
    His marriage to his first wife, Cynthia, was more so done out of spite and their son Julian (ironically, was neglected by him) wasn’t planned. With John’s underlying trauma, things got worse when he started taking drugs which led to his behaviour radically shifting to the point of him hitting her.
    It wasn’t until he met Yoko and the two shared a similar traumatic upbringing that lead to him finding somebody who could get him out of his comfort zone. After some soul searching during their brief separation in the early seventies and the birth of their son, Sean, John started to break the cycle by raising his child, reconciled with his past, and gained a sense of maturity in general. After many years of being lost, he finally found himself. He goes in-depth about this in his last interviews with the BBC and RKO, which you can find here on TH-cam.
    The thing is, I think if Chapman knew about John’s upbringing and realized how similar it was to his own, I don’t think he would have done what he did.
    But we’ll never know for sure, and with all that said, this layer to the story makes the whole event more tragic than most realize.

      You got all but one thing right: according to Cynthia in her book "John", Lennon only ever smacked her once when they were still students, because she went out with another boy the night before. They broke up for about 2 months, and got back together again, with Cynthia saying that she'd leave him for good if he'd ever do that again. Besides that, everything else is right.

That’s what makes it so tragic too. But besides that this video pretty much captures it all!!!
