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.

You mean, me for thinking of the possibility, or that it’s not a remote possibility at all?

You could convince him that RFK was a die-hard McCarthyite and a Zionist. That might work. Chapman, though? He’s screwed for life.

C’mon, he’s reformed. If he doesn’t pose any threat, then Hinkley should permanently reside next door to the obamas, once he too is a former president.

On his release, Hinkley was given a new suit, fifty dollars, a bus ticket to NYC and directions to Trump Tower. Well put. Sure would be a shame if the bastard got hit by a car, or drowned in a puddle.

They couldn’t release him after the election? After 35 years?
This really, really stinks.
They let this bastard out to try to kill Trump, plain and simple and OBVIOUS - ie, Hillary’s fingerprints.

President Reagan, White House Press Secretary James Brady, Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy, and DC policeman Thomas Delahanty were wounded in the crossfire.Yes.
I wonder what Mrs. Brady thinks of this; she was/is a strong gun control proponent.
