The gunman who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan will be allowed to leave a Washington mental hospital. He will be released to live full-time in Virginia, a judge has ruled.
It has been over 35 years since the March 30th, 1981 shooting of Reagan outside the Washington hotel that wounded the president and three others. One man, White House Press Secretary James Brady, sustained such a serious injury — shot in the right side of his head – that when Brady died in August 2014, his death was ruled a homicide
Now, John Hinckley Jr. is now ready to live in the community, Judge Paul L. Friedman ruled Wednesday. Friedman’s ruling granted Hinckley full time convalescent leave that shall begin no sooner than Aug. 5.
Doctors have argued for many years that the now 61-year-old Hinckley, who was found not guilty by reason of insanity in the shooting, is no longer plagued by the mental illness that drove him to shoot Reagan in an effort to impress actress Jodie Foster.
Critics argue that Hinckley’s crime — the attempted murder of an U.S. president — was heinous enough that he should be locked up for life. However, Hinckley’s release from Washington’s St. Elizabeths hospital has been more than a decade in the making. In late 2003, the judge allowed Hinckley to begin leaving the hospital for day visits with his parents in the Washington area.
In 2006, Hinckley began visiting his parents’ home in Williamsburg, Virginia, for three-night stretches. That time has increased over the years so that for more than the last year he has been allowed to spend 17 days a month at the home, which is in a gated community and overlooks a golf course. Reagan himself died in 2004 at the age of 93.
While outside the hospital, Hinckley has had to comply with a series of restrictions, and a number of those will continue now that he will be living full time in the community. He will have to attend individual and group therapy sessions and is barred from talking to the media. He can drive, but there are restrictions on how far he can travel. The Secret Service also periodically follows him.
Despite the restrictions, life in Williamsburg will likely be busy for Hinckley. According to court records and testimony at a recent court hearing on the issue of his release, he has spent time volunteering at a church as well as a local mental hospital. He has attended meetings for people living with mental illness, talks at a local art museum and concerts. His hobbies include painting and playing the guitar and he has recently developed an interest in photography. He’s also indicated he’d like to get a full-time job and at one point went to Starbucks and Subway to talk about applying.
Has Hinckley served his time, or does he deserve to stay in jail? Comment below.

He comes from a wealthy family. I wonder if he came from a poor or working class family if he’d be free after committing such a heinous act?
The answer is NO. His crime was to take another ones life. He should NEVER see the light of day again. Law is
and must prevail or we are all at risk. Phil McKenney
I agree if we allow this to happen our country is doomed. He should have never gotten out to live in the public eye ever. I guess live the old saying money talks and bullshit walks. I really feel that the government has let the American people done on this one. If it had been anyone else that person would’ve got the death penalty for sure it’s wrong and I think he’s a dead man walking. It doesn’t matter were he live because everybody love Reagan he did a good job for this country.
It has already happened. Obama has released thousand of criminals into society, and it isn’t working. Obama has also released thousands of guns just so he can track them when a crazy person kills someone. The question is WHY? To destroy the freedom, and way of life us Americans have is the reason. Did anyone notice no US FLAGS were flying at the DNC? The Flag stands for Freedom, and the democrats don’t want any of us having freedom.
Maybe he will try to knock off Obama or Hillary.
his freedom has been bought.he should rot in jail.but when one looks at what the clintons have got away with.you can see money talks the loudest.and america is preaching to the world.hypocrips
Maybe he became obsessed with Hillary and now he’ll go gunning for her.
A-Hay-Amen !!!!!!!!! But watch your door the FBI will be showing up. . . Sad country we live in today. . . . . AND that is not a politically correct statement. . . . .
How come they never threw away the key? He is sub-human.
What kind of bull shit is this? He deserves to be incarcerated for life.
Absolutely — he should never be released for such a horrible crime!!! But this is what our “justice” system has become. The innocent are not protected & the convicted felons go free!!
I agree!
Hillary must need another voter.
Yep !!
Hillary better stop him….He could take aim at her.
HE SHOULD NEVER BE LET OUT. HE WILL TRY TO KILL AGAIN.
Yep, ol’ Hillary might want to look over her shoulder. He may still want to impress Jodie Foster!
Trump should be careful ! the Bushes are behind this fool and they don’t like Trump.
that would be a blessing
Edward, as a federal convicted felon he doesn’t necessarily get his voting rights back. I hope he doesn’t as part of the restrictions he’ll be under.
I also wonder if he can be tried for the death of Brady as his death in 2014 was ruled a homicide.
I was also wondering if he could or would be tried for Brady’s death.
He should never be released! He killed one man and tried to kill another. He belongs in that mental hospital for the rest of his life. Just because his family is buying his way out does not mean the man is cured. He is not. Keep him locked up.
nah, it’s because Hilliary has another job for him. If I ran Wikileaks, I’d be doubling my security.
Since Jim Brady’s death cause was ruled a homicide when he died, I’m wondering why he has not been charged in his death– he fired the weapon that , at the time, wounded both President Reagan and Mr. Brady. Should still be incarcerated.
The Injustice Dept. is upside down. After the FBI deal on Clinton, never expect an honest act, with Loretta Lynch in charge.
I believe he wouldn’t have gotten out had Trump been in the Whitehouse.
I like a lot of people saw him as pompous until I read and heard how he truly loves our country and wants to bring it back to the great nation I grew up in. Where people had respect for human life, and didn’t put up with actions like this.
Bradley’s life was never the same, I’m sure he must have suffered much.
It’s wrong to let him enjoy a normal life.
Does anybody know that the Hinkley and Bush families are long time friends ? They go way back to Tx…
Thank you, Helen.
i believe that it is more likely than not that Hinkley was another MKUltra experiment, along the lines of Sirhan B. Sirhan. HW wanted to take over the presidency before his time in order to continue implementing CIA policies, which furthered his main agenda(or rather, the agenda of his controllers): the NWO/OWG. The Iran/contra affair had cramped his style – and even though the assassination attempt wasn’t successful, Reagan got the message. i also suspect that Reagan was given something that either initiated or accelerated his Alzheimer’s…or both.
“The only possible safety for honest men is by believing all possible evil of evil men.”
~Edmund Burke
The Clinton’s got him released in the hopes he will do a number on Trump! lol!
Another loony left wing judge at it again. The attempted murder of a U.S. President in office? Charged with the murder of Jim Brady whose remaining years were an agonizing torment! How could his release be anything but wrong?
shot him save tax payers money
no, i bet you he be death by now.
but OBAMA WILL SAVE HIM IN THE NAME OF DEMOCRAT JUSTICE.
No, he wouldn’t be released if his family were poor or middle income. He gets to skate when he not only tried to assassinate the POTUS of the United States AND guilty of assassinating former press secretary James Brady! If he is no longer mentally ill, he should be put into prison for the rest of his life!
No, he should be incarcerated for life. Mr. Brady’s death was ruled a homicide. There is no statute of limitations on the crime of homicide yet he’s walking away from this along with his attempted murder of a sitting President of the United States. Shameful!
Hinckley NEEDS TO GO BACK TO JAIL, PERMANENTLY!!
HE SHOT AT A PREVIOUS USA POTUS, FOR GOD’S SAKE ALMIGHTY, WHILE HE WAS POTUS!! PUNISHABLE BY LAW TO THE FULLEST EXTENT!!!
IS This judge on Crack? Remove That judge from his position!!
I urge A plea to STOP Hinckley from being RELEASED BACK INTO SOCIETY. I DON’T GIVE A HOOT HOW much reformed he has done, PERIOD!
HONESTLY, i Am to the Real notion, as to WHY HIS REAL PURPOSE for Hinckley, to be released AS TO THE TIME, SUCH AS NOW!
NEED I mention THAT? ????
Anyone with common sense can figure out WHY. ~
Dorothy,
I totally agree with you on this. Why release him now. Lord, please watch over Mr. Trump.
I agree with you ————- I think this decision stinks.
DO NOT WORRY ABOUT MR TRUMP.
HE HAVE A 45 CALIBER WITH HIM ALL THE TIME
AMEN BROTHER…
DOROTHY…….I AGREE WITH YOU 100%.
He deserves to be executed.
HE most certainly should be jailed for life.any attempt to assassinate and public official should be a death penalty offense.
So why is there such a thing as “Not guilty for reason of insanity?” We’re a country of laws. He was found to be insane. End of story..
where is your compassion or the mentally ill. enough is enough. His ultimate punishment is up to GOD not up to you people
Janet.!!! YOU are INSANE!!! Go Check yourself!!!! Hope you didn’t breed!!!!!!
I take it you’re not a Christian. Why is Janet insane for saying the mentally ill deserve compassion and fair treatment under the law? Is it that you believe in executing the mentally ill who commit serious crimes like murder? Also, why the ad hominem attack on Janet?
By the way, for your edification, I favor Hinckley now going to prison for life for the murder of Brady. But that’s my personal opinion.
You have never been the victim of mental illness-so why make a judgment on Janet.
The rule of the law was followed to the letter-JM.
I f HE SHOT CLINTON OR OBAMA I WOULD SAY GIVE THE MAN A METAL FOR SAVING AMEERACA FROM DEMOCRAT DISTRUCTION.
Once a killer, always a killer. Who can say whether or not he will try to assassinate someone else to impress Hillary?
Who knows? Maybe he’ll assassinate Hillary to impress Trump… 🙂
janet, you are 100% correct. I say send him on up to have thaqt talk with his maker.
Here’s the message of all this. Arrange for a Democrat/Socialist judge to set you free. Fake insanity and get off for murdering someone. Is society insane?
WOW Janet. The first to reply with a heart and a brain
Janet he will ultimately be judged by God, but until then he’s under the authority of men and men will determine his fate until he transitions into the next plane of existence!
Insane?? He should stay LOCKED UP with all of the other murderers and sickos.
You liberals are insane. You are a waste of oxygen
Who’s insane? Is it those who’d show compassion, albeit mistakenly in this case, or those like you who want all liberals murdered?
May you have a Saul type encounter.
A conservative Christian and politically incorrect constitutiionalist curmudgeon
Recce 1
It is insane to me to feel sorry for a sick mother eff$& like this creep. He is being treated like an elite king. He needs to stay locked up!! He is sick. !!!!! You liberals really have your heads screwed on backwards and then cockeyed. Seriously?? The guy is a danger to Society. Just like your buddy Saul was. I cannot believe America – My great country is FILLED with communists like YOU!!!
Wake up America. !!!!
By the way!!! I am a Christian!!! And I live by the law of the land. I didn’t say all liberals should be murdered. I said liberals are the downfall of America. Liberals are condoning non Christians in at record pace. The people running our government lie cheat and murder. Wake up. Liberals are NOT doing this country any favors by voting for monsters that are encouraging the downfall of America. I blame the current administration and Hillary on Isis. They will be here soon and liberals are so blind to notice that these filthy varmints want to hurt the people of this country. And all other countries
Wake up. Hinkley is as dangerous as Isis is. He should not be walking amongst us. I feel sorry for you. You and Janet just want to have compassion. I am compassionate. I just don’t think allowing a killer to roam the streets is smart. It’s insane!!!
I GOT THE FEELING THAT HE WAS RELEASE TO MAKE ROOM FOR ANOTHER SICKO
THAT SOON WONT HAVE A JOB.
*********************THE HONORABLE O-B-A-M-A-************************************
You aren’t insane one year and normal the next. If he is not guilty by reason of insanity, then he should remain under psychiatric care for the duration! End of story!
35 years in not “the next” year. Most men mellow with age and no one is the man they were 35 years ago. You will be either better or worse, but not the same.
All this up roar is “much to do about nothing”. Rage about something relevant for God’s sake.
Thanks for the commonsense statement. I’m not sure if releasing Hinckley is the right move, but I agree with what you say.
Sadly, some like AWAKE make me wonder if they’re all there. He seems full of murderous hatred.
He may not be the man he was…but MAY is a pretty big word there, sir. Might and if also come to mind. Leave him in jail or confined somewhere because he robbed one man of his life; it just took time for it to finally take its toll. He attempted to take the life of a President, for God’s sake. There should be no freedom for his sorry carcass.
True, Hinkley is a broken down worn out shell of the man he was in 1981. He’s no threat to anyone now. Probably worst danger from him is missing the toilet and soiling the floor next to it.
I suppose the people who run planned parenthood plead reason of insanity to kill millions of innocent babies of the womb. We are a nation of laws? Really?
Yes we are. Abortion is still legal the last time I looked.
Doesn’t make it right.
Yes, as much as there should be severe punishment for a attempted murder, this does not apply to perpetrators who are insane and the court ruled that the accused was insane!
If he is well enough to leave the mental hospital, he should go straight to prison for the rest of his life!
Hinkley shot and wounded a President of The United States and he murdered Brady. What dumb ass
liberal judge is letting him go free?
I agree with you on all points and if he was locked up for life there would no longer be a need to have the secret service keep watch on him. His parents can visit him in jail
Perhaps you should criticize the jury that gave that verdict. It isn’t a verdict that is handed out lightly that’s for sure!
Anything or anyone that is a threat to the US way of life. the Democrats are for.
Should never be released for the crime he committed against President Reagan – even the courts have their heads up their A _ _ _ _.
Our whole system has – John – for 73/4 years.
He should remain in jail for the rest of his life for trying to kill President Reagan. Or better yet put to death. Period,& Period.
But Reagan was a Republican. If Hinkley had tried to kill a Democrat, he would definitely be locked up for life. Sad, but most likely true.
This had to be the decision of another corrupt democrap judge. After all, there’s no such thing as truth or justice in the democrap party.
Only release him if he is going to be close to Obummer or Killery , just in case he goes crazy again.
One more left wing inspired TRAVESTY of Justice. That bastard should be placed UNDER THE PRISON
Now that he is considered sane he should stand trial for murdering Brady. There is no statute of limitations for murder. Semper Fi.
IF HIS FAMILY CAN CARE FOR HIM NOW AND ENSURE THAT HE DOES NOT HARM SOMEONE’ WHY DID THEY NOT PREVENT HIM FROM
ATTEMPTING TO KILL THE PRESIDENT.?
IfF HE IS NOW ABLE TO GO HOME THEN SEND HIM TO PRISON WHERE HE BELONGS.
Lindelllawrence, You have a good point. Think about it. If he is now 61 years old I wonder how his parents can ‘take care of him’. They must be at least in their 80’s. This entire deal is a Democrack thing and makes no sense to a normal thinking person. He killed Mr. Brady and injured two others, and the President. with all that said, I think he is guilty of Murder and three attempts of Murder…no charges. That’s the Democrack way. All bought and paid for by the Clinton Foundation, non profit.
Another very desperate try at letting the people see their compassion for someone. The compassion
they have is for the own greed and power. Another reason could be a smoke screen by trying to
take our minds off the failing Democraktic run for number #1.
Trump and Pence,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Trump and Pence,,,,,,,, 2016,,,,,,, 2020,,,,, an so on.
OH, HELL NO ! WHAT A DISGRACE ! THIS NATION WILL REAP THE WHIRL WIND IF THIS CRAP KEEPS UP.
You asked,that is one mans opinion.
Dorothy!!!
I’m with you!! I agree 10,000%.
I wonder if he is chummy with the CLINTONS and the other filth???
With the Bush/CIA connection….Tx etc
He should remain in jail . I do not want people like him roaming the streets. Why take a chance with peoples lives when it is not necessary.
No!! No!!, Now he’ll be allowed to write a book, and there are so many A**holes that will rush out to buy it, that it will make him rich on his own, I’m sure that if he is 61 then his parent’s have to be getting up there. so he won’t need a job at Subway. wait a minute wasn’t there a guy who worked there that got convicted of having child porn on his computer. HMMM !!! put those two in a cell together
OBAMA & THE WHITE TRASH HILARY RELEASES ANYONE JUST TO MAKE THE NEWS AND USES THESE ISSUES THAT THEY ARE KIND HEARTED AND TO GET VOTES FROM SCUMS LIKE THIS PERSON. THEY PROBABLY GOT PAID OFF AND I AM SURE THE JUDGE WAS TOLD TO RELEASE TAKE THE MONEY, OR GET KILLED BY THE BLACK PANTHERS ,ETC. ETC. LIKE MOST OF THE HIGHER POLITICIANS HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO JOIN THESE SCUMBAG CROOKS.. YOU WILL SEE MORE CRIMINALS, TERRORIST, LBACK PUNK CRIMINALS RELEASE BEFORE THE TOWEL HEAD MUSLIM LEADER GETS OUT . IF HE STARTS ANY WAR HE WILL STAY BUT IF NOT HIS RESERVE SLAVE THE WHITE TRASH WILL TAKE OVER TO CONTINUE BEING KIND HEARTED AND RELEASE MORE AND WE FEED THEM FOR FREE BECAUSE “THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DID ” AND SHOULD BE FORGIVEN.. THEY WILL USE THIS BIBLICAL PASSAGE ONLY IF IT IS TO THEIR BENEFIT BUT BELEIVESS IN THEIR CORAN FOR OTHER IDIOTIC ISSUES.
IM sure he has every intention of staying in office. Mark my words, Obama has no
Intention of going anywHere! Don’t forget all
The Guantanamo detainees he let out
Hinckley has received too much freedom. Jail him in maximum security, and fire the Judge who is ordering his release.
JANET KILDOW!!
YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!
Why don’t you invite the murderer over for tea and crumpets.
PROOF!!!! You can NOT FIX STUPID!!
Common sense is NOT all that COMMON to Some idiots!!!!
He should never get out ! But thanks to the liberalice , he will. Look how many obamey let out all ready. They need the votes !
JANET KILDOW!!!
I’m sure you are JUST FINE with the Muslim in chief releasing all of the MUSLIM terrorists from GITMO and closing that place down. YOU ARE CRAZY!!! People like You are a THREAT to OUR SAFETY!!!!! People like YOU are dangerous!!!!!!
He shot a president for God’s sake! He should be in prison. I wonder if he had shot a Democratic President if he’d have the “opportunity” to get out. I highly doubt it.
This is another agent on the loose for the queen of evil who lavishly lives with the Devil and his agents of death.
The judge in this case has NOT SERVED the best interests of the public. Hinckley should remain locked away because he proved conclusively years ago that he is a threat to all people around him. Do-gooders’ actions will always be a menace to peace and tranquility!
I think this act of freeing Hinkley was to have all of us focus on this issue. They need the attention of the DNC. Apparently it is working.
In other countries he would have been locked away-never to be heard of again. Here- in liberal lala land. He is living in a palace on a golf course and probably – since he is “insane” he receives a GUBMINT check monthly.
This is how RIGGED and CORRUPT America has become.
Common sense is NOT that Common!!!!
Now that they say he is sane enough to be released they need to convict him for Brady’s homicide
LET HINCKLEY OUT OF PRISON AND PLACE HILLIARY CLINTON IN HIS PLACE!
He was another patsy. His family was a big friend of the Bushes. Who would have been the new president?
What could possibly go wrong with that!?! I testified against a drug lord who was so dangerous they wouldn’t even let a court reporter in the courtroom… just the judge, me, the drug lord and the two marshals he was shackled [waist, wrists and ankles] to. This crazy drug lord had murdered over a thousand people and… the liberal judge let him go. After being released… he murdered two cops. Any judge, President, member of congress or any other leader of our people and nation who puts we the people in danger [harms way] as in letting bad people out of confinement or not controlling our borders… must be eliminated so they cannot harm us further. Speaking of harming us… our current President has taken steps of genocide against the people of America in violation of his oath of office by making the murder of our un-born children [who are our future] through abortion. Yes… if I was this backbiting murdering President I would want to disarm the American people to save my half-breed back side too.
Abortion was legal before Obama took office Sir.
If he was not guilty by reason of insanity for attempting to murder the President and he is no longer insane, retry him as a sane man. If he was not charged for murdering Brady, charge him now.
No one sentenced to life in Prison should be released prior to that, unless there is new evidence.
For me that would be the exchange for dropping the death sentence, for which I do not absolutly object to, but must admit, we humans are not always correct. Also these interminable appeals are only good for the lawyers, who make sufficient money from the taxpayer.
Were it up to me, Hinckley would serve a life sentence with no possibility for parole. However, we are now living in a society where our Federal Government frees war criminals out of Gitmo and releases them to nations that “lose track of them”; they eventually return to Afghanistan to pick up with their leadership jihad positions on the battlefield against the West. By comparison, Hinckley paid dearly for his actions, but while I’m not a doctor or mental health expert, I fail to understand just how thirty-five years of incarceration both quells and cures a patient who is deemed mentally ill to the point where he/she is allowed to return to society in any way, shape, or form..
Have we lost our minds?
How soon we forget.
Murders are forgotten in a matter of days. It would take an ISIS daily killing to wake this America up.
Well isn’t just peachy. The Judiciary is at it again. Sending Criminals back into society seems to be their m.o. Putting society in harms way is all the Judge cares about. Our Politicians seem to have the same mind set. Illegal immigration plus the wholesale bring Muesilims into our Country unveeited. It just shows that Justice is a two edged sword that is always cutting us.
If Hinkley is now 61, his mother must be very up there in years. I believe his father is now dead. Who will be there to supervise him once his mother passes away? Psych patients often do well when on their medication. When they are no longer under supervision, they often decide to stop taking any medicine, and quickly become dangerously mentally ill again.
Frankly, I always believed he would never have gotten away with the insanity defense had his parents not been rich and able to hire a high-powered legal team who, I believe, pulled the wool over the eyes of the jury that fell for the insanity defense BS. What he did to Brady alone, having completely ruined his life and his family’s life, should have resulted in life in prison. And anyone capable of attempting to kill a head of state, for whatever reason, generally is considered dangerous enough to never see the light of day from outside a prison cell. I can guarantee you he will be followed by the secret service for the duration of his life, and that they were and are totally against him being allowed out of the Federal Hospital for the Criminally Insane, which, BTW, from what I heard from a priest who was once a chaplain there, is probably worse than being in a federal prison.
Well there are those that are trying to put a liar, fraud, and killer in the Whit House, might as well put one out on the streets. AT THIS POINT WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE!!!!
Even if that is true, so what????? Reagan was a Republican. He will go after Trump, not Hillary.
Crucify him …crucify him!
He should never be released. Period! That said, the timing bothers me.
But here’s another thought. Many very powerful people are getting nervous about DT winning the election. Is it possible…? I pray not, but I don’t trust this admin and especially HC. Not one damn bit! They play a deadly game of hardball in DC.
This man planned and shot a POTUS. I don’t believe for one minute that he’s “cured”.
He should never be released!
I truly believe obama is behind the BLM and the mobs that have attacked whites and the riots in Baltimore and Ferguson.I think he has authorized crazies to get access to weapons and turned them loose on innocents. He is a muslim and to kill some of his own race for the glory of allah he would. He could very easy use Hinckley to assassinate Trump . I can’t imagine how Hinckley is getting out as well as the visits he was allowed while in custody. One man died from the attack and others wounded.There is a motive behind all this.
Another proof that this country has gone MAD! With incompetent Judges is it any wonder we are becoming a lawless nation.
Hinckley needs to be in the news and be somebody. He will take another opportunity.
can someone give him directions to the Clinton location.
he needs prison in his daily life…
27 July, 2016
Jandrea observes: Hinkley is a warped individual – What a remarkable coincidence that he is being released in a time of extreme crisis with an abundance of warped individuals, including the people who are releasing him. They need to “park” this screwball until he is dead – the sooner the better. Do not release him, erase him. This is unbelievable !!!!
If it he would have shot a Dem President he would never see the light of day.
We live in sad country where no one is safe. Not even in our homes. Parents need to raise responsible children and if they break the law or kill some one go to prison for life. They need to live by the 10 commandments. If mentally they should be in a mental hospital. Fire the judge.
Brady is dead before his time. Cause of death: Gunshot to the head. Suffered for years and
passed due to complications from the head wound.
Hinckley gets convicted and sent back to jail… PERIOD
Until we all stand up and say enough is enough, these LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS will continue to put US … The Taxpaying American Citizens in peril of our lives.
Maybe if we put Hillary in the same cage as Hinckley, she can talk him to Death.
Steve F has the right idea.
Wait until he finds out Jody Foster is a lesbian! He will crack up all over again!
……ROFLMAO …….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-JM
If he is a mental patient he is still mentally ill should stay in institution
Agree, remain in institution. If YOU or I shot a president and Killed Brady, we would be in prison for life!
HE BE FREE SOON. BY THE SAME ADMINISTRATION THAT FOUND
HILLARY NOT GUILTY OF LIES TO THE FBI, LIES TO CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATE.
AND NOW SHE IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
AND NOW SHEW STAR BLAMING THE RUSSIANS FOR HER E-MAIL MISTAKE.
DONALD TRUMP SAID IT RIGHT. HE HOPE THE RUSSIANS FIND THE MISSING 20.000
E-MAIL THAT ARE MISSING.
HILLARY ..DO NOT MESS WITH THE RUSSIANS, THE ARE NOT STUPID AND THE CAN HURT YOU.
DO NOT BE SURPRISE IF THE FOUND THOSE MISSING E-MAILS OF YOU…
AND ALL HELL WILL DROP IN YOUR FACE.
OH. ONE MORE THING. CAN BILL BUY YOU A DRESS. WHY YOU ALWAYS WERE PANTS…
BILL CLINTON PANTS……that is a Russian joke…
What happens if this guy targets someone else? Although Mr. Hinckley may think he has served enough time, his actions injured some people permanently. He should stay locked up. Attempting to assassinate a president should earn the shooter a life sentence. In this case there was no question that he was the shooter. There was no room for the jury to mistakenly convict the wrong person. His lawyer realized that the only way to get him off the hook was to claim he was crazy.
H.W and Hinckley Sr. are buddies!
There was a show on TV, that showed How close the President came to dying. And Brady died and they ruled it a Homicide. Then if he is well enough to be released, He is Well enough to serve time in Prison!
Wilbert, I totally agree with you. You may be on to something. I mean we are talking about a man who tried to kill a President, let’s just hire him to try to kill a man. From all that I have been reading for weeks now, I could just imagine that Hillary and Obama have cooked this up to eliminate their enemy (DT).
If they have been letting Hinkley out for some 17 years, that means he could have been planning what he will do when he is totally free, which is now.
It’s bad enough that I have to tell people “I’m from So. IL, no not Chicago” Home of the first illegal muslim President in our USA history. Now all countries are sitting back and laughing at all the STUPID leaders we have and all the STUPID things that are going on.
Linda, you said it PERFECTLY.
The judge that released him…should be made caretaker…if he shoots someone …Hinckley and the Judge both go to prison
see if the judge would release him then….
Hillary’s has been appointed the federal judge that left him out of the mental hospital. If it would’ve been anybody else they would’ve been in prison
Thank God I don’t live in America! Reading these posts, I am driven to the conclusion that a great number of the citizens are ‘nuttier’ than a fruit-cake. John Hinckley Jr. did wrong. There is no doubt, and he paid the price. During the remainder of his life, he will quite probably do much good. To be honest, having read the comments; given a choice, I’d far sooner have John Hinckley living in my community than some of the people whose remarks indicate that they might well be a greater danger than John ever was. Also, there are people who may well be elected to positions of power whereby they could destroy the lives of hundreds of thousands, including yourselves, without ever being brought to Justice. They call their ‘game’ Politics. And by the way, Donald Trump is not a Politician – he’s a guy that knows how to take care of ‘business’. I’d be happy to have him take care of my business. Peace and God Bless.
This scumbag was just released because the rats already figured that Mr. Trump is coming and they need to re-activate this reliable particular assassin. Follow this miserable, he is coming back for sure and the communists know it; parole people included.
Once again the “Liberal-Progressive” minds have followed their politically correct hearts in allowing this murderer to be released. It’s like all the liberal justice minds, if and when he hurts or kills again they will re-argue that he needs help and will commit him back to confinement, His life should have been ended when he tried to kill a President of The United States Of America! What greater sin does he have to commit to sound the alarm that he is a danger to society and cannot be trusted to live among us!
Is there any other place in the whole world where someone can shoot a President and a member of his staff, who later dies, and allow him to enter society again?????
James G Brophy, to answer your question – “Yes there is.” Americans were the KILLERS and the President was Muammar Gaddafi. The Country was Libya.
probably most of Europe
Anyone that tries to assonate a President belongs in jail for life.
They should have thrown the key away!!
and he never would have had a chance with the sweet thing he said he loved and did it for. she would have never given him the light of day because she likes only women. hows that grab you Hinckley?
You writers here (who don’t know how to write nor spell) talk about liberals and la-la land; you all live in a reality that has nothing to do with true life. Murdering those who do not agree with you, yet decrying abortion – hypocrites and you don’t even see it. I would wish all the hatred you express on others would come back to bite you in the backside. I would never wish you to be in a position where you would need mercy and compassion. You don’t give it, why should you get it? And on top of everything you dare to judge, when both judgment and, yes, revenge belong to the Supreme Being. Do you have a direct line to Maker and Angels, who tell you to bring Their Word to us? No, of course not. If I believed that, I would be as sick in the head as most of you. Get a life, go out and do some Good, and stop wasting your time here, reinforcing hate back and forth. Not to mention crazy conspiracy theories: like the Clintons released Hinckley so he could kill Trump. Listen to yourselves! What has happened to the kind, compassionate Americans that made this country, a melting pot, I remind you, great? Certainly not people like most of those found here.

I see you must be drinking the kool aid with your hands in the air singing kumbaya.
Wake up!!!! Hinkley should STAY behind bars!!! Whether he is “insane” or not. He tried to kill one of our presidents. And he did murder an American. Wake up!!! He isn’t well now. He needs to be under strict surveillance.
Something is very wrong in this country. The liberal system is broken. They allow murderers to roam our streets. And we are allowing Islamic terrorists to enter our country. And the liberals not only condone, but encourage it.
Go back to drinking your bong water. Or wake up !!
And recce 1. No need to worry about ME!!! I am AWAKE and I have morals and values and I love my country! And I still say a lunatic like filthy hinkley belongs BEHIND BARS. And I’m not talking about the bars in his cushy family mansion.
I wonder what Jody foster thinks? She is liberal, so I imagine she is going right along with this
Like I said.
Common sense is not so common.
Liberals are ridiculous. Lalalallalalalalal.
Every cloud has a Silver-lining. John Hinckley Jr. is not allowed to talk to the media. That means the media are unable to talk to him, therefore he can’t be misquoted because he is now ‘silenced’. There must be hundreds of thousands of people that would love to be ‘protected’ in that particular way. I reckon Karma is in John’s ‘corner’.
One concern is that at 61, John’s parents must be close to 90 – should they pass away – what next?
I think in this incident, it is parents’ wealth that has given him this freedom to take long weekend passes, etc. Certainly, there should be compassion for the mentally ill but also protection for Society as well as them. I don’t see a future for him with Starbuck’s or Subway. He does volunteer work and talks … Know it can’t be easy for him which I would think eventually resentment vs society would build up for not accepting him – and then what next?
: (
Now that Hinckley is to be released from prison for murder, how about releasing Mr Manson from prison ? Supposedly he only masterminded the murder of Sharon Tate. Think that will ever happen ? Only if he had some political connections is my take.
Mr.Manson wasn’t found innocent by reason of insanity. Let’s face it… almost no one is able to obtain that verdict. He happened to get a jury that was convinced of it. That’s why we have trial by jury. His peers gave him the verdict that eventually allowed him to go free. That’s the way it works in a democracy.
THAT WAS A MISTAKE.
EXECUTE HIM NOW.
HE IS WELL NOW TO STAND TRIAL.
THERE IS NO LIMIT ON MURDER CHARGES,
THE PRESS SECRETARY DIE 2 YEARS AGO, HIS DEATH CERTIFICATE
SAID HE DIE DO TO THE BULLETS THIS JERK PUT ON HIM……
Why don’t you go do it if you’re so sure it should be done?!
These are the types of people that the Democrats have proposed being released so that they can register and vote Democratic so I am not surprised by his release!
IF ANY POLICE OFFICER STOP HIM FOR TRAFFIC VIOLATION.
PLEASE EXECUTED THIS BUSTER. ALL CHARGES BE DROP.
AND YOU BE CONSIDER A HERO,,,
I BET YOU ANYTHING, OBAMA HAVE TO DO SOMETHING
WITH THESE. WHO ELSE WOULD MAKE THIS KIND OF STUPIDITY….
WELL, WE GOT A LITTLE LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OF OBAMA STUPIDITY.
I HOPE AMERICA CAN SURVIVE
*************************GOD SAVE AMERICA,,****************************************
Obama had absolutely NOTHING to do with it. WHY DO YOU BRING HIM INTO IT???????????????????
So John Hinckley Jr is being released,,hope Jodie Foster is aware of that,since this man’s actions were the result of his obsession with this Academy award winning actress,who recently stepped out,saying she’s Gay-also very stupid! all the same,i hope Mr Hinckley will
have the good sense to stay out of the lime light,and stay out of trouble,,especially since not all would be presidential assassins get this kind of break-sure hope he’s smart enough to not to contact Ms Foster,who must be feeling some sense of discomfort,over that unpopular idea!
good luck.
Mr. Hinckley should be under constant control supervision. When he get out to the free word, Who can stop him for not to get arms, gun, etc in the ” Low Market” real cheap and commit another CRIME; Like what happen in Orlando, Florida…
He attempted to kill one of the greatest Presidents we ever had. And he shot three of his security guards and one of them died from his injures. Which that was changed to First Degree Murder. So in no way should this man according to the law be walking the streets. Most people that who start out as mental ill suspects end up in prison after there doctor treatments. So what’s the difference with this jerk. Put him away for life as he deserves. Lets stop all this putting these criminals back out on the street. We need to enforce the laws we have and keep them in jail.
Secret service agent Tim McCarthy that was shot that day is my cousin. That piece of crap needs to stay in prison the rest of his life.
DID the Democrats release him to go after TRUMP or HIS FAMILY?? Do not be surprised they did. Another MK ULTRA??
I would like to know who would Hillary blame is she doesn´t become President; Bill or Monica?????
Anyone who fires a gun at the POTUS should remain in jail for life. NO parole, NO special favors, NO conjugal visits, NOTHING! Let him stay in his cell and tend to himself.
what is this comments section a meeting of the mentally impaired??? He was found NOT GUILTY by reason of insanity and he is no longer insane but has been let out on his own perioically for more than ten years THERE IS NO LEHAL BASIS TO KEEP HIM LOCKED UP. We are a nation of law and the law must rule
