In case you don't remember, Hinckley tried to kill Ronald Reagan to impress his crush Jodie Foster. That was before she came out gay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 This is !@#$ing ridiculous. His primary "caregiver" (mom) is 89 and his siblings have no real plan to continue care after she dies. He still has to remove himself from a movie theater if Jodie Foster appears in the movie. And .. oh .. he shot the !@#$ing president and killed another person. !@#$ing sick.

He's also from a prominent GOP family, which is likely why he spent the last 35 years in a mental ward instead of Death Row. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-hinckley-jr-man-who-shot-president-ronald-reagan-released-from-hospital-to-home-stay/ http://www.tmz.com/2016/07/27/john-hinckley-jr-released-president-reagans-shooter-released/ http://www.wsj.com/articles/reagan-shooter-john-hinckley-jr-to-be-released-from-mental-hospital-1469627067 Edited July 27, 2016 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Player Available Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Strongly disagree with this decision. But, hasn't he had extended supervised visits with family at their homes for years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, they had dinner with the Bushes the night before the assassination attempt. But HW wouldn't have anything to gain by getting someone to shoot the president at that time. Nothing to gain at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Or maybe because Reagan and Brady survived the shooting wasn't a capital offense I just thought they let him out so he could speak at the DNC tonight.

Once the doctors admit a person is cured, you are legally required to release them from a mental hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
