I respect Yoko and her stand but when someone is trying to harm me I want a gun in one hand and my phone in the other while dialing 911.

If only the two most influential peace advocates of our lifetime were carrying guns that night.

I sometimes wish that celebrities would stay out of politics and political debates... not because their opinions aren't valid, but because there are many people that will blindly follow them without educating themselves first.

^I also doubt they were the "two most influential peace advocates of our lifetime"... there have been others that were out actually doing instead of talking.

Actually doing instead of talking??? Really? Who? Define your terms. This should be fun.

I think Lennon would still be dead.....he didn't have a chance to react.

However, if Yoko had a gun......Chapman might be dead......and that would be a good thing.

I think what she did is okay, shows those who want to see part of the graphics of what happened to him. I doubt they could have reacted even w/ guns. These predators attack unseen and diabolically. They're evil by nature.

I'm sorry she lost her husband however it seems a bit opportunistic. Kinda like never let a tragedy go to waste.
