NAUGATUCK, Conn. (WTNH) — John Hinckley, who shot President Ronald Reagan in 1981, is headed to Naugatuck, Connecticut, to perform a concert.

The controversial musician is set to perform at Hotel Huxley later this month.

Hinckley said he’s hoping people will give him a second chance and listen to his folk music.

“I want people to know that I’m coming in peace, I stand for peace now,” he said. “I know I’m known for an act of violence, but I’m a completely different person than in 1981.”

Still a whack job

Will Jodie Foster and DeNiro be there?................

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Be a shame if some wacko shot him.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

5 to 1 says he launches a presidential campaign. /s

[gibsonguy]

Had he shot Carter he would never have been released, never.

[waterhill]

He found out that Jodie is a lesbian.

He was scheduled to do a show in NYC a year or so ago. The media made a big deal out of the fact that the show was sold out. I looked up the venue, it was an illegal site - the second floor of an old abandoned club that some kid took over for underground raves. It had room for 24 people or so.

He sold it out. I don't even know if the show actually happened since the venue was not legal, but it was NYC so it probably happened.

Send him to my hood. I have a backhoe.

.......the sob shot the President of the United States and damn near killed him, plus a SS agent in the stomach and a presidential aide in the head and now he wants us to come watch him play a musical instrument.

What better example of how F’d up our country is than this. The man should have been executed.

Yep

[Carriage Hill]

Find a tall tree and 'decorate' it...

[sport]

I agree with you, he should have been. But his parents had too much money for him to be executed.

[plain talk]

Maybe he will sing a John Lennon song as an encore?

[sport]

Actually, it would not. It would be Poetic Justice.

[HYPOCRACY]

Will his besties, the Bushes be there?

Too bad their attempted coup against Reagan failed. Evil, evil clan.

[TangoLimaSierra]

I heard a sample of his performance last year.
He is terrible. Making money only on his "fame".

I’ve heard drunk homeless people howling on the subway that sound better than Hinckley does.

[Sacajaweau]

A leopard doesn’t change his spots. I’ll be happy when he croaks.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Still an attention seeker. He should live in quiet anonymity, if he were truly remorseful. He should drop into obscurity, never to be heard from again.
