The Man Who Tried to Kill Reagan Is Now Free. Americans Should Be Outraged.
Daily Signal ^ | 7/27/16 | Craig Shirley

The decision to release John Hinckley Jr. from St. Elizabeth’s psychiatric hospital after his attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan is outrageous, disgraceful, and a travesty of justice.

No matter how much supervision he has, Hinckley cannot be trusted to move and function in society.

Even though his victims, Reagan and White House press secretary James Brady, have died, Hinckley remains a threat. According to the Secret Service, he is still obsessed with Jodie Foster. Hinckley’s actions remain a terrible stain on American history and a reminder of the lifetime of damage that can be caused by one man in a matter of seconds.

This is a purely political decision by Judge Paul L. Friedman, who clearly wishes to corrupt Reagan’s legacy. Friedman was appointed to the bench by President Bill Clinton in March 1994. Just as a jury of liberal Washingtonians came to the liberally biased verdict that Hinckley was innocent by reason of insanity, so too is this decision.

I’m convinced that Jodi’s early loss of innocence in the filming of “Taxi Driver” was part of what contributed to her lesbianism. She was a child, exposed to Hollywood sexual weirdness. That’s very powerful.

Anytime you watch a movie, you do have to ask yourself, “I wonder what this person had to do to get this role?”

Most of them had to do exactly what you’re implying.

The Casting Couch is alive and well in “progressive” Hollywood.

Remember in the movie, The Godfather,

“You don’t understand. Johnny Fontane never gets that movie. That part is perfect for him. It’ll make him a big star. I’m gonna run him out of the movies. And let me tell you why. Johnny Fontane ruined one of Woltz International’s most valuable proteges. For three years we had her under contract, singing lessons, dancing lessons, acting lessons. I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars. I was gonna make her a big star. And let me be even more frank, just to show you that I’m not a hard-hearted man, that it’s not all dollars and cents. She was beautiful! She was young, she was innocent. She was the greatest piece of ass I’ve ever had, and I’ve had ‘em all over the world.”

There was outrage a plenty when he was found not guilty by reason of insanity. This is just the judiciary “doing its usual thing.”

We will probably never find out how much Hinkleys family bribed for his illegal release.

He’s been walking around the streets on weekend passes for years (In fact, he routinely spends a couple of weeks a month at a golf course resort). He has even been driving around town during the week in his Toyota Avalon. You haven’t done anything yet, have you? Why should I believe your bluster now?

“Getting him ready for President Trump. /s”

You think the programming is still active after 36 years?

Not surprised. This is an effort to slap Mr. Trump in the face.

And all conservatives, AGAIN.

Jodie needs to beef up security. Or contact Jason Bourne. :-)

They’re probably hoping he goes after Trump.

Also worth noting: Hinckley’s family were friends with the Bush family down in Texas. Both Texas oil families.

I imagine the SS keeps a close eye on people who have attempted to assassinate a President, don’t you think?
