Richard Nixon had John Lennon investigated and tried to have him deported but was unable to find anything on him aside from a couple of old Marijuana
charges. So he had to drop the investigation.The investigation ended long before he was killed and the two were unrelated.
He was killed by a crazy man named Mark David Chapman who at times believed he actually was John Lennon. So not any kind of political assassination.
A murder by a crazy man.
wasnt mlk investigated by the fbi and then assassinated
MLK was investigated by the FBI and they found nothing more than embarrassing details about his sex life. He was killed by James Earl Ray and it had
nothing to do with the FBI. James's actions were politically and racially motivated.
.the problem is the people have been peaceful for too long.
Have you never heard of Malcom X? He was a firm believer in " By any means necessary". In the end, it was non violence, over coming violence, that
allowed for the many great advancements in Civil rights.
we have tollerated the idiots in government for too long
I agree.
hoping that things would change.the cops
Non violence did change things... Martin Luther King Jr's involvement in civil rights is a great example of just what can be achieved through non
violence in the face of violence.
ruby ridge got promoted,the cops at waco got promoted.cops
Did they? Which cops got promoted to what rank? What are there names?
peace didnt make us free,violence
Killing each other will set you free from your body. But that's about it... The way to peace is not through war.

Unless you can point to any war or
violent action that has led to world peace.
the threat of violence is all tptb understand.its time to school them.
The words" status quo is the result of violence" comes to mind.
Anyway, I do not wish to derail this thread, so I give you the last word.
Peace and love.
