THE MAN who shot President Ronald Reagan is allowed to spend 17 days on release from a psychiatric hospital each month under a new court ruling, writes Mike Parker in Los Angeles.

The freedom given to failed assassin John Hinckley Jr, which includes permission to drive to his mother’s house, has sparked a storm in the US and shocked former First Lady Nancy, 92.

Hinckley, now 58, fired a hail of bullets at the late president in March 1981, in Washington, seriously wounding him. Three others were badly hurt including press secretary James Brady, now 73.

For some reason these lists of murderous Democrats always omit leftist Democrat Amy Bishop, who shot six people, killing three at the University of Alabama at Huntsville in February of 2010.

Hinckley will need and have heavy bodyguard escort.

But then a .17 WMR can reach way out & touch someone.

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.

You may be joking. But it's a good point. I always wondered the same thing. If he'd murdered a 7-11 employee, he'd be out by now. That used to make me angry.

Turns out, he's a total loon. He's goes berserk @ his parole hearings. He's way crazier than Hinckley. No way they can let him out. It's not political.

Does Brady get 17 days a month out of his wheel chair?

Just wondering, does that include attempted murder of the POTUS? Honestly wondering, I would believe THAT act would hold a stronger sentence, no?

The classics are always best! 22-250, .220 Swift, .222 Rem., etc. On all sizes of vermin.

Of course, look how Marine sharpshooters in Fallujah reached out & hurt evildoers over a mile away using the .308 Win.

Kinda get my drift?

There should be NO difference between the two, they should not receive special treatment under the law.

So no, attempting to kill a President would carry the same sentence as attemtping to kill Joe Blow.

"For some reason these lists of murderous Democrats always omit leftist Democrat Amy Bishop, who shot six people, killing three at the University of Alabama at Huntsville in February of 2010."

Thanks her violence has been added.

In 1865 a Democrat shot and killed Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States.

In 1963 a radical left wing communist, Lee Harvey Oswald, shot and killed John F. Kennedy, President of the United States.

On June 5, 1968, Sirhan Sirhan, a psycho islamo killer shot and assassinated Robert Francis "Bobby" Kennedy, a United States Senator and brother of assassinated President John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy. The shooting of Robert Kennedy took place shortly after midnight on June 5, 1968.

In 1975 a two wing radical Democrats fired shots at Gerald Ford, President of the United States in separate acts of mental illness.

In 1981 a registered Democrat shot and wounded Ronald Reagan.

In 1984 James Huberty a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 22 people in a McDonalds restaurant.

In 1986 Patrick Sherril a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 15 people in an Oklahoma post office.

In 1990 James Pough a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 10 people at a GMAC office.

In March 1991, a lefty psycho, John Hinckley, now 58, fired a hail of bullets at the late president in March 1981, in Washington, seriously wounding him. Three others were badly hurt including press secretary James Brady, now 73.

In 1991 George Hennard a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 23 people in a Lubys cafeteria.

In 1995 James Daniel Simpson a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 5 coworkers in a Texas laboratory.

In 1999 Larry Asbrook a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 8 people at a church service.

In 2001 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at the White House in a failed attempt to kill George W. Bush, President of the US.

In 2007 a registered Democrat named Seung - Hui Cho shot and killed 32 people in Virginia Tech .

On February 12, 2010, Amy Bishop a left wing psycho professor went postal with her fellow professors. When she had finished, six people had been shot, three of them fatally. Bishop had killed her brother with a shotgun over 20 years ago and the liberal police chief in her home town dismissed the case. Amy is still in prison and loves Obama.

March 2010: John Patrick Bedell shot two Pentagon security. A right-wing extremist, media asked? (A registered Democrat and 9/11 Truther.)

In 2011 a mentally ill, registered Democrat named Jared Lee Loughner shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. The pot smoking Loughner killed 6 and wounded 18 in another liberal shooting tragedy.

In 2011 another mentally ill and registered Democrat named James Holmes went into a Colorado movie theater and shot and killed 12 people.

In 2012 Andrew Engeldinger a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 7 people in Minneapolis.

On September 16 2013, Aaron Alexis another pyscho Democrat killer slaughtered 12 innocents at the US Navy Yard. Alexis before his slaughter of innocents Navy Yard gunman Aaron Alexis had complained his brain had been targeted by low-frequency waves weeks before the slaughter.

12/14/2013 Karl Pierson entered Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Co. armed with a shotgun with intent to kill one of his teachers. He shot Claire Davis, a senior, @Arapahoe High in the head. Yes, Pierson is/was another mentally ill liberal punk.

April 2014 Mohammed Whitaker arraigned on 18 felony charges in series of highway shootings in Kansas. Mohammed appears to be another SOB, aka Son Of Obama..

We could go on, but you get the point, even if the media and the anti gun pyschos in Congress do not.

Clearly, there is a problem with Democrats, AKA, the mentally ill having guns or being around them.

No NRA members, No Tea Party members, or No Republican conservatives are/were involved.

Political correctness and leftist policies are to blame in these mass shootings:

If Seung-Hui Cho had been institutionalized for mental illness, 32 people would still be alive at Virginia Tech.

If Jared Loughner had been institutionalized, 6 would be alive in Tucson.

If James Holmes had been institutionalized, 12 lives spared in Aurora, CO.

If Adam Lanza had been institutionalized, 26 would still live in Newtown, CT.

If Nidal Hasan had been properly reported, investigated, and discharged from the Army, and institutionalized, 13 would not have died at Ft. Hood.

If we really want to improve safety, keep criminals in jail, terrorists out of the U.S., and people who are mentally ill/deranged in institutions.

Again, It should be illegal for any Democrats to own guns or be around them.

“I never thought of it this way but perhaps we should have gun control for Democrats. They seem to be the only ones asking for it so why don’t they just impose it upon themselves and leave the rest of us alone.”

Sounds like an excellent concept. Every time they have a public whine in wanting more gun control, this list should be handed out. Then the left wingers should be challenged to outlaw DemocRats from owning any gun.

Feel free to use it. One of my progun SIL’s found or started a list with about 10 shootings by liberals. Thanks to good freepers, the list has expanded.

Before a campaign speech in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Theodore Roosevelt, the presidential candidate for the Progressive Party, is shot at close range by saloonkeeper John Schrank while greeting the public in front of the Gilpatrick Hotel. Schrank’s .32-caliber bullet, aimed directly at Roosevelt’s heart, failed to mortally wound the former president because its force was slowed by a glasses case and a bundle of manuscript in the breast pocket of Roosevelt’s heavy coat—a manuscript containing Roosevelt’s evening speech. Schrank was immediately detained and reportedly offered as his motive that “any man looking for a third term ought to be shot.”

Acquisitioned, forwarded and made a slight grammatical correction to one of your bullet statements;

“On September 16 2013, Aaron Alexis another pyscho Democrat killer slaughtered 12 innocents at the US Navy Yard. Weeks before his slaughter of innocents at the Navy Yard, Alexis had complained his brain had been targeted by low-frequency waves.”

I've been thinking this, for some time now.

Same goes for 0CommieCare. If they want it, they can have it...leave the rest of us out. Good luck with the takers paying for it, though :(

You’re absolutely right; I’m just in the midst of reading “Truman” so I think he was on my mind.

(Obviously, haven’t gotten to that part yet!)
