Didn’t Hinckley also get parole? The Dems are very lenient when they realize a person shot at a Republican.

The President was Republican. Different standards.

She fired one shot at Ford before being tackled by Oliver Sipple, a former Marine.

Okay here’s a bit of trivia about this. Sipple was gay but not militant about it…. Yet Harvey Milk - yes that Harvey Milk - took it upon himself to out Sipple to the national media. When Sipple’s devout Baptist mother back in Michigan found her son was gay she refused to speak to him.

“It was a time that people don't remember. You know we had a war … the Vietnam War, you became, I became immersed in it. We were saying the country needed to change,” she said on NBC's Today show. “The only way it was going to change was a violent revolution. I genuinely thought that [shooting Ford] might trigger that new revolution in this country.”

This violent leftist did know that the Vietnam War was over at that point and that Ford had nothing to do with the starting or continuation of it right?

Honestly these people live in fantasy land.

Seems there's a federal law that mandates parole for those who have served 30 years and have maintained good behavior. So in other words, a "life sentecne" isn't worth the paper it's written on.

That’s true. They paroled Hinckley too.

Yes; as did Arthur Bremer. His parole ends this year.

“Life in prison” Apparently means just 30 years?

Surprised she didn't have a tenured faculty position waiting for her.

That “outing” actually happened 50 years ago today in the San Francisco Chronicle.

Ford twice, Reagan once, Trump twice. 5 Republican assassination attempt survivals. God is looking out for us.
