John Hinckley, Who Tried To Kill A President, Wins His Freedom
NPR ^ | 07/27/2016 | Carrie Johnson

Posted on 07/27/2016 6:40:33 AM PDT by GIdget2004

Thirty-five years after he tried to kill a president, John Hinckley has won his freedom.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., has granted a request for Hinckley to leave the mental hospital where he's lived for decades, to go live full-time with his elderly mother in Williamsburg, Va.

The release could happen as early as next week, the judge ruled. Under the terms of his order, Hinckley is not allowed to contact his victims, their relatives or actress Jodie Foster, with whom he was obsessed. Hinckley also will not be permitted to "knowingly travel" to areas where the current president or members or Congress are present. The judge said Hinckley could be allowed to live on his own or in a group home after one year.

Has anyone told Hinckley Jodie Foster is a lesbian?

I hope no one tells him that she's boinking Hillary!™

This action is about trivializing the President he assaulted, and tried to kill. Nothing else. I believe it’s been done in anticipation of the use of Reagan’s name in the forthcoming campaign, and an attempt to reduce the value of his memory.

Not incredible. Timed to coincide with the Dem Convention. No better way to top the whole circus off than by flipping the bird to Ronaldus Magnus.

He was found not guilty by a jury of his peers.

Verdicts have consequences.


Agreed. I hate the verdict, but he spent 35 years locked down after being found not guilty. He has restrictions set on the rest of his life after being found not guilty.

Front page news at Rolling Stone magazine. They will try to make him an icon. RS content is suitable only for wrapping fish, training puppies, lining bird cages and...that’s about it!

Maybe he got a little extra programming just in case for a troubled political situation?

The Hinckley family was friends with the Bush family at the time of the assassination attempt. The media neglects to report this fact.

Yet one more valid reason for Reagan to hold the Bushes in low regard.
