Would-be assassin-turned-folk singer John Hinckley Jr., who attempted to kill President Ronald Reagan in 1981, insisted he was a victim of “cancel culture” after his latest concert was called off.
The 68-year-old was scheduled to perform at the Hotel Huxley in Naugatuck, Connecticut, on March 30 — 43 years to the day after he attacked Reagan — but the gig was postponed indefinitely, he told The Post.
“I think that’s fair to say: I’m a victim of cancel culture,” Hinckley Jr. opined.
“It keeps happening over and over again.”
A message on the venue’s Instagram posted last week read, “You Guessed It: Postponed Until Further Notice (They’re killin us here).”

You tried to kill a sitting President. Take your ego and shove it.

Some self-cancellation would be nice in this case.

“They book me and then the show gets announced and then the venue starts getting backlash,” he told The Post over the phone from his Williamsburg, Virginia, home.
The bookers don’t know who he is.

Nope, you are a convicted felon who is guilty of attempted murder. No decent person likes you or trusts you. Now, crawl back in your brain addled hole and be happy you are no longer in jail where you should be and stay. You’ve caused enough trouble already. If you want to be dead I’m sure you can figure out how to make that happen or find someone to help you out.

He shouldn't have scheduled on the same day Squeaky Fromme and Sara Jane Moore start their concert tour.

It might have been better if the Secret Service had cancelled him at the scene of the crime.

Too many people have told this guy he’s a hero. I don’t care what you think of Reagan, he’s not a hero. He should be in jail. He should be thankful for that.
