Why should you be punished less, just because you’re a bad shot?

What about poor old Sirhan Sirhan? He’s served longer and he is from the most favored muslim sub species. He should be released and given a home in Massachusetts.

She can stay at my house. Plenty of guns and a ill tempered Tabby cat should be enough.

Hinckley is really going to be pissed off when he finds out Jodi Foster is a lesbian.

During the ‘84 campaign, Reagan had John Hinkley brought to the Oval Office.

“John”, Reagan said, “I want you to know I have decided to forgive you.”

Hinkley was stunned.

“Not only that”, Reagan continued, “I’ve decided to give a full pardon.”

Hinkley was doubly stunned. “Thank you, Mr. President!”

Reagan walked Hinkley to the door. “Good luck, John. You are free to go.”

As Hinkley turned to leave, Reagan grabbed Hinkley’s arm.

“Oh, and one more thing”, Reagan said, “Walter Mondale has the hots for Jodie Foster.”

Jodie also doesn’t swing to the male side of the aisle.

I don’t know about “should,” that question is for your elected representatives, but maybe you don’t know that Mr. Hinckley was not convicted of any crime. He was found to be not guilty by reason of insanity following his trial. He is now a medical patient in a psychiatric hospital.

Perhaps he is part of the reason.

Andrew Jackson also survived an assassination attempt.

On November 9, 1863, Lincoln saw a play, The Marble Heart, starring John Wilkes Booth, and was so impressed that he invited Booth to the White House for dinner. Booth turned down the invitation.

March 30, 1981 -- his famous words to Nancy Reagan when she arrived at the hospital following his assassination attempt, a line first attributed to boxing's heavyweight Jack Dempsey when he lost the title to Gene Tunney in 1926

"Honey, I forgot to duck."

Want proof? Hinckley is free; his gun is still in custody. Danger over, problem solved.

You an ANZAC? Spent 6 mo in the Sinai, ANZACs were our sister unit in North Camp. Crazy, Party Animals. And the greatest people you could ever hope to know.

Cops that actually kill innocent people get little or no time. Hinkley should be out of jail by now.
