Reagan Would-Be Assassin John Hinckley Jr To Be Released

AP 1981: Bush Son Had Dinner Plans With Hinckley Brother Before Shooting
Via: BBC:
John Hinckley Jr, the man who tried to assassinate US President Ronald Reagan, is to be released from a psychiatric hospital next month after 35 years.
Mr Reagan and three others were injured in the shooting outside a hotel in Washington in March 1981.
Mr Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity but was sent for treatment to a Washington hospital.
He has already been spending 17 days a month at his mother’s home in Virginia under strict conditions.
A judge ruled that Mr Hinckley, now 61, could reside full-time there on “convalescent leave” from 5 August.
I’m sure they don’t plan to let him run around the country in the lead-up to the election.

I’m going to go ahead and close comments on this because this is an area where people and organizations who are at war with Cryptogon try to cause trouble.
