"Average Joe." "Hinckley was just 25..."

[hoagy62]

Why is he not in a super-max, eating gruel? Or breaking big rocks into little rocks until the day he dies?

[null and void]

The last man to shoot an American president now spends most of the year in a house overlooking the 13th hole of a golf course in a gated community.

I sure hope no one tells him that obama is boinking Jodie Foster...

Hinckley’s Father was the no. 1 contributor to Bush in 1980. I wonder if he is still around and supporting Bush.

So we have to now feel sympathy for somebody like this now and let him wander aimlessly like he did before he committed his horrible act?

The same thing took place up here in Ottawa when Jeffrey Arneburg, a schizophrenic drifter, senselessly murdered TV sportscaster Brian Smith in the station’s parking lot in 1995. He spent time in mental hospitals until about 2004, he was given an unconditional release. Smitty’s widow was at the hearing and she mentioned that her late husband’s name was only spoken once or twice and that was at the start of the roughly two hour long hearing. Arneburg proved his worthiness in 2007 by attacking a US Customs Officer in Buffalo, NY. Spent another couple of years in jail, then released. Still continues to wander aimlessly with not very much remorse for what he did that so much shocked our community nearly twenty years earlier.

Forgive for the lengthiness of the above, but I can’t help but think a lot about that whenever I hear or read Hinckley’s name.

[skeeter]

The sympathy really seeps through in this report.

Maybe the MSM can make Hinckley another Mumia Abu-Jamal, white version.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

When in the Wide World of Sports did St. Elizabeth’s spring him?

St. Lizzy’s or the old Lorton prison in Virginia seemed to be gated communities more suited to him.

PING!

Remember to the Brady’s it was the guns fault no the shooter.

Isn't it just ODD that Hinkley tried to kill Reagan after only a little while in office? Isn't it STRANGE that GHW Bush, long a member of the Republican establishment, would have become President. Isn't it COINCIDENTAL that both the Establishment Left and the Establishment Right hated Reagan with a burning passion?

I'm of the opinion that Reagan's two elections set Globalists back 20 years.

[ForYourChildren]

It just tweaks me that this guy wasn’t put to death. And worse, that he is out and around.

I have no sympathy for him. If God wants to save him that is His business, but he needed to be put to death.

[jodster36]

narcissistic personality disorder, deceptive, psychotic

Sounds familiar.

[GeronL]

Lots of tears here.

Not

[dfwgator]

Did Hinckley act alone?

Funny how nobody questions that one.

[Albion Wilde]

Hinckley's doctors have said for years that he is no longer plagued by the mental illness that drove him to shoot Reagan outside a Washington hotel in an effort to impress actress Jodie Foster, whom he grew obsessed with after seeing her in the movie "Taxi Driver."

That's because some moron leftist psychiatrists and lawyers probably made the case for him out of political objection to a) Reagan and b) the death penalty. Hinkley deserved the death penalty but didn't get it. And maybe he's not even trying to be crazy any more because he found out Jodie Foster is a lesbian.

So does this mean Sirhan Sirhan will be released soon?
