Who killed John Lennon?

Friar Tuck

Usually regarded as being Mark Chapman, but Ronald Reagan according to: http://www.shout.net/~bigred/lennon Who Killed John Lennon? by Fenton Bresler Bresler offers the possibility that "Lennon, the politically most active rock star of his generation... was shot dead outside his own home by a killer who was merely a tool, a human gun used and controlled by others to destroy a uniquely powerful radical figure who was likely to prove a rallying point for mass opposition to the policies soon to be implemented... by the new United States government headed by Ronald Reagan." Bresler quotes the late radio journalist Mae Brussell, who broke the Watergate story 2 months before the Woodward-Bernstein expose'. Brussell had no doubts: "It was a conspiracy. Reagan had just won the election. They knew what kind of president he was going to be. There was only one man who could bring out a million people on demonstration in protest at his policies -- and that was Lennon." Bresler speculates that Chapman was a "Manchurian Candidate," brainwashed and pre-programmed to kill on command. When the moment had arrived, Chapman received his signal and performed his task.

Mark David Chapman killed John Lennon and John Hinckley, Jr. tried to kill Ronald Reagan. Sometimes people get Chapman and Hinckley mixed up, but how it translates to Reagan killing Lennon, I have no idea!
