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.

As a kid I used to get him mixed up with Mark David Chapman who killed John Lennon. Now I see Hinckley likes Paul McCartney and might get out full time (he already gets home visits). Run, Paul, run! Now I've got Band on the Run in my head! Poor Paul might change his politics if liberal policies let this guy out and he goes after him.

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

Yes, but it was before Labor Day, so he gets a pass.

John, I’m willing to believe you want to go straight. You’re nearly thirty-five years older than you were when you shot up Ronald the Great and the rest of them. That said, if they ever let you out full time, I suspect that after a relatively short period of time, you’re going to be sick enough of jokes about so-and-so being, um, romantically involved with Jodie Foster that you’ll either plug one or more of the so-and-sos, or the jokers. But good luck.
