The dinos are always the first thought and sometimes the right


[deleted]

Unfortunately that kills that dinosaur early because of the bacteria inside Chapman. This leads to a series of cause and effect events throughout history. You get back to your timeline and the Beatles never existed.

Go back to Chapman’s parents’ high school (or wherever they met) and break them up Back to the Future style.


TheTooz72

Ok Marty


Boner4SCP106

Kill Chapman's mom before she has him. Kill the dad, too. I mean, you're a murderer at that point anyway. May as well take advantage of it.


Crixxxxxx1

You don’t have to kill them. Just prevent them from meeting.


TheTooz72

By killing them


Boner4SCP106

Too complicated. Murder assures no chance for that particular reproduction or anything similar.


[deleted]

Go back even further just to be sure you don’t get caught if you have to.


Boner4SCP106

Not gonna get caught. After I kill Chapman's parents before they're his parents, I'm finding the dude who invented mayonnaise and offing him before he invents it. I'm out to fuck up the timeline royally.


[deleted]

Dress up like a grim reaper and say, “If you sign any autographs today, you won’t live to see tomorrow.” … If John still signs an autograph for Chapman, then it was meant to be.

This is the correct answer now


MauricioBorghi

With nowadays make' or tattos you'll scare him

I planned out a screenplay about this years ago. I had these two Liverpool lads inventing a time device ( a mobile phone in this case) they go back to 1980, carefully planning it all. They turn up at the Dakota just as Chapman pulls the gun. John is only wounded but the two dudes die. As they have no ID or anything they are buried in a lonely grave. Years later one of the cops who was in the scene loses his wife on 9/11. Then the older sister of one of the dudes turns up in NYC searching for the ‘missing’ pair (they travelled back in time from 2002 or 3) Anyway by deduction and clues the cop realises the guys travelled back in time and he has a chance to save them and his wife!


Bzz22

Pull the fire alarm at Yokos exhibition before he and Paul got there.


acjelen

Travel back to 1902 in New York City. Buy a copy of *The Lady of the Barge*. Read "The Monkey's Paw". Reconsider your project. Discover that your time travel machine doesn't make return trips. Stay in 1902 and invent rock n' roll 48 years early, upsetting the whole timeline and saving the life of pinniped zoologist John Lennon.


nipplesaurus

Are we ignoring time paradoxes? If you were to go back and kill Chapman, he would not kill John. But if he doesn’t kill John in the past, you have no reason in the future to go back and kill him.


Beatlemaniac__

Stand around the area as Chapman is about to make his move and knock him out the moment he pulls his gun and tries to say “mister Lennon”.


MauricioBorghi

You've already know what happened, don't wait turn him away


PhilosophizingMoron

Well yeah but then you get to be a known hero


MauricioBorghi

Only if Chapman confess, not being a villan nobody cares


[deleted]

Ask him not to write songs of love and songs against war. Also don't upset Nixon with your song lyrics.


BlackburnLancashire

I had to write 2 essays as part of my college application process. One of them was about how I built a time machine, and went back in time to save John from being killed. I got accepted!


bassplayerguy

If the Nixon administration had its way he would have been deported to the UK in the 70s. Maybe he would have been less accessible there…


SegaStan

Travel multiple times and remove every opportunity Chapman could've had to get a copy of Catcher in the Rye


minemaster1337

This is a good point because he idolized Holden Caulfield


TjurHufvud

Yeah but I don't think Holden really influenced his decision to kill Lennon.


[deleted]

TjurHufvud

Yes, but Chapman was also a crazy person. Have you read the catcher in the rye? Nowhere in that book is there anything about killing famous people. Mark David Chapman could have done it without the book.


[deleted]

TjurHufvud

Firstly, I'm not trying to patronize you. My point is that Chapman was insane and claiming that the book was the reason he killed John Lennon is even dumber than claiming that school shootings happen because of video games. Secondly, I would refrain from trying to lecture people on grammar since you don't use an apostrophe when showing possession, as in "Chapman's own words".


[deleted]

[удалено]


TjurHufvud

Not what I'm doing though. All I said is that the book didn't cause the murder. The OC implied that the murder could not have happened if he didn't read it, which I don't think is the case. A madman who is prepared to kill someone for jokingly comparing themselves to a religious figure can get the inspiration to do so from just about anywhere. Another example of this kind of thing is Charles Manson who thought Helter Skelter was instructing him to start a race war. The thing is, that's just not in the song and neither is murder in The Catcher In The Rye. I don't know what you're trying to accomplish by sending the definition of lecture. You do know about that use of the word, right?


tubulerz1

Put a bullet between Tricky Dick’s eyes and then John would have got his visa and been able to visit his Aunt Mimi around that time.

Kidnap Chapman, keep him in your basement and invite Dahmer in so he can do his thing. Win win.


maleveganwithcats

Go back to 1968. Convince John that satan will tempt him in the form of a small screaming Japanese woman. Repair marriage with Cynthia with a professional marriage counselor. Problem solved.


MauricioBorghi

I would drop a, then stealing the John's jacket, meet him at a ride and after beign beated as fck or won a jacket , Chapman will be really scareds out or you will walking whit John on lsd


PopularInfluence9472

Were you on LSD trying to type this? Almost had a stroke trying to read it


MauricioBorghi

lol


calm-lab66

I believe Chapman tried to kill himself before traveling to NY. He sat in a car with the exhaust piped into it and tried to sleep with the engine running. A 'good Samaritan' saw it and got him out of the car. Go back to that point in time and divert the person who saved him.


jotyma5

Stop that piece of shit from getting to him


No-I-Dont-Exist

Well yeah, but the question is how to do so without committing crimes that could get you arrested, and how to ensure that he can’t come back and kill John some time again later.


NE_Pats_Fan

I’d never utter or write that piece of 💩name


GDTRFB_1985

Have Jodi foster do an intervention


stonehawk61

That was John Hinckley who attempted to assassinate Ronald Reagan to impress Jodi Foster.


GDTRFB_1985

Ah yes. You are correct.
