Wackjob John Hinckley to be Released From Nuthouse

From Fox News.

The man who tried to kill President Ronald Reagan is set to go free, after a judge decided Wednesday to allow would-be assassin John Hinckley Jr. to live with his mother in Virginia full-time.

So, this nutbag will live in mommy’s basement?

Hinckley is set to begin his “convalescent leave” on Aug. 5, according to U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman’s order.

Friedman wrote that “all of the experts and treatment providers” who testified during the hearing agreed that Hinckley’s issues — major depression and psychotic disorder — were “in full and sustained remission and have been for more than twenty years.”

“Mr. Hinckley is clinically ready for full-time convalescent leave,” Friedman wrote.

Hinckley, 61, attempted to kill Reagan outside of the Washington Hilton Hotel on March 30, 1981. He fired six shots, hitting four people, including Reagan, who was wounded when a bullet bounced off his presidential limo. Press Secretary James Brady was shot in the right side of his head, sustaining serious injuries. When he died in August 2014, Brady’s death was ruled a homicide.

Hinckley was arrested at the scene and was later found not guilty by reason of mental insanity. Hinckley had allegedly tried to kill Reagan in order to gain the affection of Hollywood starlet Jodie Foster.

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.

The article goes on to describe Hinckley’s ‘artistic’ endeavors including “attending 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.”

I bet he does finger painting and designs Rorschach tests too. I bet that’s interesting.

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.

“I don’t like flipping around the TV, I want to do things,” a court document quoted him saying.

He also has said he wants to “fit in” and be “a good citizen.”

Any employer with half a brain would show that assclown the door. This shitbag needs to spend the rest of his life in prison, not back out into society where he can pick up where he left off.  Note to Jodie Foster: Buy a firearm, learn to shoot, pop his head fucking head like a zit if he comes within 100 yards of you and your family.
