John Hinckley Jr. Realesed from asylum. Attempted assassination

The judge that released him is Paul L. Friedman:

Friedman was nominated by President Bill Clinton on March 22, 1994, to a seat vacated by Gerhard A. Gesell. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on June 15, 1994, and received his commission on June 16, 1994.

He assumed senior status on December 31, 2009.

Just in time for election mayhem. Why would this judge release this mentally ill person at this particular time? If Hinckley goes off his meds just in time to attempt another assassination, I wonder who it would be? Any guesses?

Rapists out in a few years. 42 year old man with an ounce of pot get 20 mandatory. Yup....I think it is pretty farked up....

I've been mulling over the Jodie Foster link.
She must have been quite bothered by that historical connection with Hinckley Jr.
Even her relationship with Cydney Bernard was kept out of the media for the most part.
I don't feel qualified to weigh in on this subject.

The Hinckley family's links to the Bush family are even more interesting...considering Bush Sr. would have been president if Hinckley had succeeded in assassinating Reagan.

Must be a matter of profit. Keeping celebrity white assassin locked up for life in Super max costs too much.

Other inmates all living together in lock up, 80,000 a year from the state for them.

He's connected to Bush, not Clinton. Anyways, it's just a natural progression of how he's been treated. For the past 15 years he's been getting partial releases for longer and longer spans of time. Being let out fully is a natural progression of that.

The part about being 61 and living with his mother just doesn't sit right. Why do visions of Norman Bates pop into the ol' coconut? Probably just too well conditioned by society I guess.

Reading a little bit more, it looks like a cozy connection to the Bushes and the Clintons....hmmm.

That is crazy and sounds so much to me like the strange connections of some modern day shooters with rich powerful father's who wanted rid of their disabled sons...

Does anyone remember him as being a family friend of the Bush's?

Lest we forget, here are some of the main anomalies of the assassination attempt on Reagan:


--Hinckley was under psychiatric treatment for depression.

--The San Francisco Chronicle reported that John Hinckley was a former member of the National Socialist(Nazi) Party of America. He was expelled for being so violent that his fellow-Nazis suspected him of being a government agent. They said "he wanted to shoot people and blow things up."

--Judy Woodruff, reporting for NBC News Special Reports, immediately after the assassination attempt, insisted that at least one shot came from an overhang over Reagan's limousine. Woodruff later reported that the shot came from a Secret Service agent who was stationed on the overhang, which one researcher dubbed "the Bushy Knoll." According to this researcher, if a sniper were positioned on the "Bushy Knoll," he would have had a clear shot at Reagan along the exact angle at which the bullet entered his body.

--Reagan's limousine was not parked right in front of the entrance, as it should have been and normally was, but was parked 30 feet further away, which caused Reagan to be exposed as he walked to the car.

--In the video of this event, Reagan waves to supporters across the street from the hotel exit, who have been kept back behind the police lines. Yet Hinckley was allowed to get very close to the president:
en.wikipedia.org...
"While the Secret Service extensively screened those attending the president's speech, in a "colossal mistake" the agency allowed an unscreened group to stand within 15 feet of him, behind a rope line...."

--White House correspondent Sarah McClendon reported that Reagan's Secret Service retinue wasn't in its "usual tight formation" around Reagan in front of the Hilton.

--In his memoirs, President Reagan said he felt nothing at the time of the shooting, but felt a great amount of pain when his secret service agent jumped on top of him in the limo a second later, causing him to initially think the agent had broken a rib. Because of this, some have suggested this agent was the one who fired the near fatal bullet to Reagan's chest. As it was, the armored door of the President's limo stood between Hinckley and his target, which forced the researchers to conclude the bullet had ricocheted from the door frame, or the roof, into Reagan.

--Though the President's limo took off immediately for the five minute ride to the hospital, and the other three wounded were bundled into ambulances five minutes later, two of the three wounded arrived at George Washington University Hospital 15 minutes before the President. What happened in those 20 missing minutes? The Secret Service would only say, "We got lost."

--The Vice-President's son, Neil Bush, was supposed to have had dinner in Denver with Scott Hinckley, John Hinckley's brother, the evening that John went on his shooting rampage. John Hinckley's father was described as a 'supporter of Ronald Reagan,' yet he was in reality a long-time contributer to the political career of George Bush, Reagan's rival in the race for the Republican nomination for President.

--Just like Lee Harvey Oswald, Hinckley seemed to have a 'double' who mirrored his own actions. He was named Edward Richardson, and is supposed to have had a strong resemblance to Hinckley. Richardson traced Hinckley's path from Connecticut to Colorado, writing demented love letters to actress Jodie Foster, just like Hinckley. A week after Hinckley's infamous attack, Richardson was arrested in New York's Port Authority Bus Terminal with a .32 caliber revolver, after threatening the lives of both Reagan and Foster.

--Missing evidence? Hinckley's parents' memoir refers to some penciled notes by Hinckley which were found during a search of his cell and which "could sound bad." These notes "described an imaginary conspiracy--either with the political left or the political right [...] to assassinate the President." Hinckley's lawyers said that the notes were too absurd to be taken seriously, and they have been suppressed.




A poem written by Hinckley, 1981:

Pretend you are a virgin on fire
An outcast in the midst of madness
The scion of something unthinkable
Satan's long lost illegitimate son
A solitary weed among carnations
The last living # on earth
Regardless of everyone's friends
I plot revenge in the dark
I plot escape from this asylum
Regardless of Disneyland
I follow the example of perverts
I follow the long lost swine

Like always, the comedians tell it best (pretty bad language in that).

The Bush/Hinkley connections are very real. What's most amazing is that it never went reported, to this day most people don't know Bush was scheduled to have dinner with them the next night.

HW is probably the most politically corrupt man of our time, he's the modern day J Edgar Hoover. Was the CIA head, likely had a hand in killing Kennedy, likely had a hand in killing Reagan. For his part him and his idiot son became President. His friends all got high level positions. Just screwed up all around.

Sadly, they still have influence even with Jeb's downfall. HW has said Bill Clinton is closer to him than his own sons. So you know Hillary can't be too far off that. I doubt there's any Clinton/Hinkley connection though. His release has been in the works for literally 15 years now.

Interesting thought.

Consider, too, that Bush Sr. lied about being in the CIA and in Dallas when Kennedy was assassinated.

There are theories that Lyndon Johnson orchestrated Kennedy's assassination with the help of the CIA.

The attempt to assassinate Reagan deserves some substantive attention, IMO.

Killing a President is weird, you need a lot of people in order to cover all the contingencies (if you want to get away with it), but you also need a small enough number of people that the secret is kept. The JFK enemies meeting the night before he was killed is interesting. A lot of people who disliked JFK were at that, from the mafia, to Nixon, the FBI and CIA even had representatives.

I don't know for certain that HW was involved, but he's CIA, he was there, he was at the meeting by some accounts, and the CIA was against him. Given that he later tried having another President killed it's pretty likely.

No just no "once crazy always crazy" is just not true and this type of crap helps the stigma against mental health.

I think I saw him walking into the local G4S office with a copy of 'The Rye' and "Bickle" on his Army Jacket. He was not sporting the mohawk yet so we should be ok.

He tried to shoot and kill the POTUS. He should never be released from any type of facility. Once crazy...always crazy...this way it is easier for him to go off his meds.

Yeah , difficult , if not impossible , to repair a brain and a psyche.
