john lennon's death(strange coincidences)

and consider this:

(killer interview with larry king live) KING: Did you know it would be that night?

CHAPMAN: Yes, I knew that morning, oddly, when I left the hotel. I had some type of premonition that this was the last time I was going to leave my hotel room. I hadn't seen him up to that point, that's what makes it interesting. I wasn't even sure he was in the building.(i've read this countless times, about how chapman just knew, instinctively, that "this was going to be the day.")

and then put together with this:

that night, officers steve spiro and peter cullen were patrolling nyc. they were doing the night shift on the upper west side. it was a quiet monday night, but one of the officer's had a feeling "something big was going to happen" before the night was over. at 10:50 pm that night they responded to a call that shots had been fired in central park west. they were the first to respond, and they were the ones who lifted lennon up and carried him to a waiting patrol car. then they arrested chapman. (i read this in the book 'let me take you down', which was about the murder. oddly, i can't find anything on the net about this, anywhere. but it's in that book. they were interviewed about it)

AND:

john lennon was talking a lot about death in the weeks leading up to his murder, including the kennedy assassination. he went on and on about it. and he talked about his own eventual death, right up until that day, as if he sensed it was near.

is 10 years later considered the near future?

he was wrong about that. i have the dvd at home and i checked that part out last night. it doesn't say "in the near future" at all. it just says "there will be an attempt to assassinate you." and this was in the early seventies sometime.

edit: btw, it was during the early seventies when mark david chapman first started fantasizing about killing john lennon. he would sing "imagine john lennon's dead" to his friends.

wow, nyc police officers had a premonition that something would happen in nyc that night? STOP THE PRESSES!!!!

something "big." police officers are always aware something could happen at any given minute, but this was different. it's not everyday an police officer has a feeling that something BIG is going to happen, and then something BIG happens. and they didn't just hear about it, they were directly involved. so ya, "stop the presses" indeed.
