John Hinckley, Who Tried To Kill A President, Wins His Freedom
NPR ^ | 07/27/2016 | Carrie Johnson

Thirty-five years after he tried to kill a president, John Hinckley has won his freedom.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., has granted a request for Hinckley to leave the mental hospital where he's lived for decades, to go live full-time with his elderly mother in Williamsburg, Va.

The release could happen as early as next week, the judge ruled. Under the terms of his order, Hinckley is not allowed to contact his victims, their relatives or actress Jodie Foster, with whom he was obsessed. Hinckley also will not be permitted to "knowingly travel" to areas where the current president or members or Congress are present. The judge said Hinckley could be allowed to live on his own or in a group home after one year.

Do they still do MK Ultra under another name and in a dark unnamed place

I assume that's a rhetorical question.

A casual glance at the vast majority of mass shootings should answer your question.

The perps follow a predictable script, nearly every time.

This type of madness will never end unless judges and parole boards are made personally liable for their negligence. Bleeding heart liberals who sacrifice innocent law abiding citizens in order to show “compassion” to murdering thugs, with no repercussions.

They only show a ‘bleeding heart’ when it was a Conservative he attempted to murder.

You can bet your bottom dollar Robert Kennedy’s killer will never see the light of day

No. He should have been hung by the neck until dead.

So he cannot go near any of his victims. Does this mean he cannot go visit the Gipper’s gravesite???
