WASHINGTON — The man who shot President Ronald Reagan wants more than anything to “fit in” and be “a good citizen.” He tried to get a fast-food job, and loves to drive. His musical tastes run from Elvis and Paul McCartney to Nirvana.

John Hinckley Jr. has been barred for years from talking to the media, but court documents made available this week contain rare snippets of his voice.

A federal judge is deciding whether to allow Hinckley to live full-time outside St. Elizabeths, the mental hospital that has been his home since he was found not guilty by reason of insanity in the 1981 shooting that wounded Reagan and three others.

Evidently Hiter was also a fashion criminal- in the picture it looks like he is wearing white socks.

His therapy now shows him that it takes much more to impress her.

As he lists character references, advise him not to list these two; Nancy Reagan and Jody Foster.

You know as well as I do that AP is just trying to portray him as a rehabilitated criminal, to lend legitimacy to their bogus anti-penal stance.

While I appreciate the fact that his finger is on the trigger, this photo would be much more effective if the hammer were cocked.

The boy has no sense of drama.

By all means, since the libs are now creating the “utopia” they’ve always wanted - chaos, lawlessness, class warfare, civilizational decline and destruction - it’s time to let the moron who shot their greatest enemy out into the limelight to become rich and famous! Interviews, appearances on Ellen, Fallon, Colbert, CNN - the sky’s the limit for massive public distraction. It’ll keep the lights off Zero and the Hildabeast for awhile.

I don’t care if he was found insane. This insect shot the greatest President we’ve ever had. He NEEDS to be locked away in the Supermax, not some mental hospital.

I could also suggest several imaginative ways to punish him, but I’d get banned.

His family is wealthy and his mother, who he stays with when he’s out, is 89. His father is no longer living. He wants out permanently and will be rich with a free home. Crazy people with money do some real crazy things!
