Can you say gruesome???

I knew you could…

[Fido969]

WTF.

[Sirius Lee]

It would be ironic if the person who bought it used it to shoot Yoko. I’m not saying that they should. The shouldn’t. Just that it would be ironic.

[nickcarraway]

It would ironic if Mark David Chapman was shot with it.

[Sirius Lee]

Just as long as it’s put to ironic use.

[Ezekiel]

Taylor kept the bullet as a souvenir, which he kept framed in his home alongside a picture of him with the gun until his death.

He couldn't take it with him. Ironic.

[dljordan]

No way! Cursed!

[G Larry]

Sounds like B.S. to me:

"As an apology, they allowed him to visit a museum where they store weapons from high-profile cases and permitted him to shoot a bullet from the gun that was used by Mark Chapman to kill Lennon outside his apartment building in 1980."

I was pondering that event over the last few days. Would not be surprised to learn that Yoko Ono had knowledge that this was going to happen. Maybe she was even involved in carrying it out?
This is only speculation on my part. But YO was/is something of a weird one from accounts I have read.
For what we are learning about the CIA and other programs, etc. it is worth a mention.
(Also, see file notes about MLK and FBI.)

Gruesome? What’s so gruesome about a bullet that had no connection to Lennon’s death?

I picked up a rock last year in Dealy Plaza. Can I auction that?

[Billthedrill]

This is no ordinary bullet. It's the bullet that didn't kill John Lennon.

Hey, wait a minute. I own a bunch of bullets that didn't kill John Lennon...

[Responsibility2nd]

Can you reshoot a spent bullet?

Didn’t think so.

[Responsibility2nd]

It must have been one of them infamous “magic bullets.”

[dfwgator]

To think that bullet could have been used on Yoko....

_{Too soon?}

[Tellurian]

Ease up ... life is what happens when you’re busy expecting other things. Yoko, no Yoko, Lennon was bound for drama.

[Clutch Martin]

Um... yeah sure. Wanna buy a used bridge in Brooklyn?

[libertylover]

Seems rather sick to me.

[sasquatch]

A gun murdered John Lennon?
Who knew.
