"Did she ever identify the father of her kid?"

I don't believe so.

Be awful tacky to ask, wouldn't it?

[meanie monster]

He should never get out, period. My husbands partner at work lost it one day and claimed to be jesus and had several knives and went knocking on doors carrying a knife in both hands. When the police showed up he fought them and ended up being shot in both knees. He calls here all the time from the psych ward wanting his job back. He gets out in feb or march. I am scared he will end up at my door step, real scared. He is a skitzo and bi polar. Thinking bout getting a gun.

[what's up]

Reagan's daughter Patti was quite upset about this impending decision a few months ago.

She said some liberal activist lawyers were working hard to get Hinckley sprung.

No way should someone who shot a President of the US be given any type of freedom.

[Digger]

I hope to hell the US Secret Service never leaves him out of their sight.

Maybe they will have a lapse of about 5 mintes. Strange things happen when left alone. Arkancides is one.

[IGOTMINE]

Make that "sights", as in telescopic rifle sights.

[Catspaw]

There are liberals and there are Reagan haters. I predict Hinckley will skip after a few visits. Psycho's are NOT curable. Look at that scumbag who murdered the college girl last month. NONE should EVER get out!!

I've known the guy for over 30 years (we were college classmates), and I know he wasn't fond of Reagan--not a Reagan hater, but he's a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat (although I'd say he's moved towards the center as he's aged). My friend went on & on about the idiocy of letting Hinckley out (figures that he's a Clinton appointee). On the air. And their phone lines lit up, with no dissent from his statements.

Will he try to get away? I think he's going to try. Will he make it? Let's hope the USSS keeps an eagle eye on him.

"And it only took 4 post to insinuate Bush did it."

It's common knowledge in academic circles that only 4 degrees of separation distance GWB from anything bad.

[HenryLeeII]

I wonder where the judge lives? Maybe he'd like a weekend guest. The folks in Kingsmill (the parents' gated golf community neighborhood) are up in arms already just with the discussion of whether to let him down here, now they're going to be on the warpath! Anybody want to place a wager on an increase in gun sales?

Dear John:

Bill Clinton's banging Jodie.

Just thought you should know.

Best wishes,
Rich

[OneTimeLurker]

Agreed.

[luvbach1]

Good for him but bad for anyone near him if he "relapses" into a homocidal frame of mind.

[plain talk]

What? Treated? Vists? The turd should have been executed long ago and would have if not for the stinkin lawyers.

[international american]

"Will he try to get away? I think he's going to try"

He will be fine the first time or two, when he thinks he is safe he will skip! These nutbags are shrewd,manipulating people.

[Catspaw]

They should be upset. According to the WP article, the goal is for Hinckley to have unsupervised visits at his parents' home. U.S. District Judge Paul L. Friedman set numerous conditions on the outings. Among other things, Hinckley is not permitted to leave his parents, John and Jo Ann, at any time while he is away from the hospital, and the first outings must be in the Washington area. Those visits could take place in two weeks unless prosecutors seek to delay them through an appeal.

Finally, some good news for Democrats...

[international american]

It'l take us 10 years to undo what the Clintons did to us. Many overseas look at 2 term Clinton, as a reason to call the U.S. immoral.

[1066AD]

What about that woman who took a potshot at Gerald Ford, is she still in prison ?

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

I don't get it, a guy shoots the President of the United States and he gets special privileges?

[The Wizard]

un-fing-believable
