The man who attempted to assassinate former President Ronald Reagan was freed from a Washington, D.C., mental hospital Saturday.

John Hinckley Jr., 61, went to the home of his elderly mother in Williamsburg, Virginia, on Saturday afternoon after leaving St. Elizabeths Hospital, his attorney said. He plans to live with her now that a federal judge has declared him no longer a threat to society.

John Hinckley Jr., President Reagan's would be assassin, left the mental hospital yesterday, to live with his 90 year old mother.

Of course, timing is everything with the Commiecrats! Release him the afternoon before the 15th anniversary of the worst terrorist attack on the US, so as to avoid much notice. Mr. Trump, make sure you have additional security, beyond just the SS. The Commiecrats and their crony-capitalist partners like Georgi and Director Commie,, would LOVE to have someone like Hinckley, end Mr. Trump's life. BE CAREFUL!

If they had hanged the bastard 35 years ago he would have been safe for society a lot sooner and without costing society any money.

Someone needs to tell Hinckley that Obama raped Jodie Foster, which turned her into a lesbian, and that she’s been Hillary!’s girl friend for the last 20 years.

He hasn’t changed. Society has. They’re hoping he’ll get a crush on Hannah Montanna and go for President Trump to please her.

On his release, Hinkley was given a new suit, fifty dollars, a bus ticket to NYC and directions to Trump Tower.

I am a Conservative because we are kind and loving. Republicans care! We forgive.

Liberals? Not so much. How about Sirhan Sirhan? He’s missing out on a lot of life. He could be a productive member of society. He shot RFK a long time ago. He’s paid his dues. How about John Lennon’s killer, Mark David Chapman? Let him go. All lives matter.

Hey, John Hinckley Jr,

Actually, he got released because he’s at peace knowing that Jodie Foster likes shag carpet instead of hardwood floors.
Maybe John Hinkcley, ala George Costanza, drove her to lesbianism.

How long before he shows up in the 3rd row behind Clinton at a rally?

This was on the condition that Hinckley promise to never shot a president again, to which he readily agreed.

I’m thinking more like the third row of audience at a Trump rally, with a gun.

Actually seems rather plausible except the part about turning her into a lesbo. I think she may have always been that way.

The judge who declared him no longer a threat to society will face zero consequences should his declaration be proven false.

President Reagan, White House Press Secretary James Brady, Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy, and DC policeman Thomas Delahanty were wounded in the crossfire.

Mass shooter.

He already knows that he’d only go back to jail if he kills someone. What’s to stop him from trying again?
