Letters John Lennon’s Killer Wrote to Cops for Sale: Collectible or Creepy?

What would you expect in the letters, love letters to Suzanne Summers?

Very creepy and encourageing other sick ass hole to become famous by killing someone famous. Very poor taste and judgment.

both.

Some people like creepy.

I tend to find these types of collectible items truly macabre : (

Does he really say that he was shooting at Yoko and she ducked?

Collectibly creepy, lol!!
I would imagine they'd be interesting to a variety of people for a variety of reasons.

From a realistic standpoint, these letters would be considered memorabilia. Would it be creepy to own a piece from a murderer? Of course...that's why there is a market for these items. I wouldn't be against anyone owning materials created or written by murderers or serial killers--it isn't harming anyone.

Depends what is written in those letters and who gains from selling them...

Perhaps the Think Tankers could glean some scientific psycho babble from the rantings of a mad man but commercial sale from 'an officer of the law' to a buyer so 'interested' ~ seems more than just creepy! It seems extraordinarily demented!

Well, they are creepy and collectible. The letters are part of a historic event and people will want to see them whether it is appropriate or not.

Both. But I'm siding with "creepy" because of the circumstances.

I would like to see them released to the public but this is profiting of death

Just... No

Collectible and CREEPY. Hey! money is money!

I gotta reply to myself cuz the Prez is wacking out and I have a profanity filter. Must have hit his sensitive side.

Hard to explain,what some people like..

If people will pay attention to shows like Honey boo boo,nothing is surprising..

Disgusting but there are those that will buy them

but sadly, there are people who collect such things.

Things are only worth what someone will pay for it. If someone buys a killer's letter then it is collectible. Creepy is in the eye of the beholder!

Although I generally advise less law rather than more, in this case I would like to see a law against glorifying criminals or profiting from their crimes until, say, 50 years after the event.

Idk why anyone would want these. It would remind me of the pain of being ripped from one of the greatest musicians this earth has seen.

Maybe to find out why he did it?

& creepy. Just because something is creepy does not make it UNcollectible. I would not pay a dime for them; they will go for a price probably pretty creepy, also!!

Chapman should be sent to the gas chamber.

It should be in an evidence file or like the killer himself should be, burned out of existence!

This kind of evidence should not be available outside of judicial action. The fact that it is, speaks badly about the degree of civilization, we humans, have achieved.

But unfortunately that seems to be the way our society ha gone

But I'm kinda dark like that. I'd still like to get my hands on a copy of John Wayne Gacy's clown self-portrait.
Oh, and I'm also a big fan of John Lennon.

Glad to know we think alike! Gacy was, surprisingly, a decent artist. I watched a documentary which stated Gacy used some of his paintings to hint at other murders he had committed. Well, he took those secrets with him to the grave.

It just goes to show that someone can be almost downright evil and yet still be beautiful through their artistic expression. I wish they'd have kept Gacy around, if not just to study him. If society's knee-jerk reaction wasn't to give these violent criminals the needle, maybe we could find out what makes one the first place, and maybe even prevent further Gacys and Chapmans from rocketing themselves into infamy.

Both. It's sad to say I kinda wanna read the letters, but I'm not sure I'd but them. :/ no hate please

It's not only creepy its disgusting and revolting.

Who would find a convicted murderer's letters even slightly collectible? If I had received those letters, I'd have thrown them straight in the trash, right where they belong.

I would. That's why I chose collectable.

A cuckoo kills a Communist crooner.

Yeah, let's see the letters.

But I understand the curiosity to what the letters said.

Yeah, I have no desire to own them, but I would like to read them. I was a big Beatles fan back in the day.

Since we're in the Subject of John Lennon. as much as I hate to say it, because I love The Beatles and their music, there's simply no other band for me. Of the Beatles, he's the least I like, he could be creepy himself. I know that The beatles were formed by him and all that. But, he was alledgedly an icon symbol of peace for 2 generations, yet he could have care less about his 1st son Sean, basically, he abandoned him and his mother Cynthia, who went trhu the hard part of life with him as soon as Yoko came in. Sean himself has stated that Paul McCartney loved him like a son, more than Lennon. Overall, returning to your question, YES, is creepy.
I believe Lennon brougth it on himself getting shot. He was moody, could be arrogant,
desphotic toward his own fans, something Elvis never was.
There were reports that when Chapman , who idolised him, had gone all the way from Hawaii to meet his idol, asked him for an authograp, he bitchilly, and rudely gaved it to him, Chapman's feelings were probably hurted, ( this doesn't excuse him for taking revenge the way he did, I know )
