You brought it up, it's on you to produce facts about whether he is getting the same treatment any other cold blooded killer is getting in New York. I mean shit, if we are going to parole killers in this country after 3 or 4 decades then Charlie Manson should have been out years ago because he never actually killed anyone by his own hand. You have no clue how it cuts when you say this guy is getting screwed by the system somehow because he killed a famous man. That is utter bullshit. He is dangerous, and John Lennons's fame is exactly why he is not here now, because his fame got him killed by a freak loser with a gun. Fuck me, how hard can that possibly be to understand?
