WASHINGTON: A sobering image of John Lennon’s bloodstained glasses ricocheted around the Internet on Thursday after his widow Yoko Ono posted them on Twitter in an appeal for tougher US guns laws. “The death of a loved one is a hollowing experience.
After 33 years, our son Sean and I still miss him,” said Ono in a tweet to her 3.7 million followers on Wednesday, the 44th anniversary of her marriage to the Beatle.
It was illustrated with a photo of Lennon’s glasses, smeared with blood over the left lens, and captioned: “Over 1,057,000 people have been killed by guns in the USA since John Lennon was shot and killed on December 8, 1980.”
Three other tweets from Ono, a pro- lific Twitter user, underscored her contempt for firearms. “We are turn- ing this beautiful country into a war zone,” one said.
