On March 30, 1981, John Hinckley Jr. opened fire on President Ronald Reagan, seriously injuring him in an assassination attempt that received international news coverage.
You know if President Reagan can say to Larry King in an interview live on CNN that he forgives John Hinckley for shooting him, I think we should find it in our hearts to forgive him too.
Exactly, You are so correct. Forgiveness is subjective and it does not mean society has to accept that person back into its midst. He should be in prison for life if only to protect the public from the slight chance he may reoffend.
How easy is it for someone to SAY they're sorry? In addition to shooting the president, he RUINED James Brady's life! And his injuries eventually led to his death!
It's great , he's taking responsibility for his actions and not blaming other people . If he books any venues in the future , he should try to keep them a secret from the general public . He should only let his fans know , if possible . If the general public doesn't not know , there would be no backlash . Also if he is able to travel internationally and has fans overseas , he should consider doing shows outside of the country . He should keep those secret , as well . The location of his venues should only be known by his fans , not the general public . The state or country of any of his future venues should only be available , to his fans . He should still get security , though . He should not even mention the location after the fact , for the safety of the venue that hosts him . He also needs to stop announcing dates and venues on social media (twitter) , that's how the media tends to find out . When he announced his concerts at the Williamsburg Regional Library and The World Famous ( Athens , Georgia) , on twitter they were both canceled shortly after . He should have his fans contact him , maybe via private email or another way to keep the general public from finding out Venues also should not announce to the public , that he's coming . I'm not on social media , hence anybody who agrees with me should suggest my ideas to him such as on twitter .
You must be on crack. People are still believing the 'Hinkley did it' story after all these years. Just for the record, Reagan's entrance wound was found on his back, not his left side. In fact, none of Hinkley's fired bullets hit President Reagan. Reagan was shot from behind from higher up above the parking curb. The C.I.A. used Hinkley, Jr. as another assassination suspect patsy,........just like Oswald. In fact, the Reagan assassination attempt and the murder of John Lennon just four months earlier were connected. The Secret Service were in on the assassination attempt. They were in-the-know. The Secret Service performed as they were suppose to when Reagan arrived with the limousine parked right at the door to the hotel. But when Reagan exits to leave, the limo is now 40 ft. down the curb, nowhere near the door, and Secret Service does not surround him in the 'protective diamond' formation as they did when he arrived, they all exit to Reagan's right like a line of ducks. Reagan was intentionally exposed by Secret Service so that the C.I.A. could get a clear shot of Reagan, from up high and behind with an air-powered rifle and silent projectile that hit Reagan in the back. Hinkley, who was mind-conditioned by the C.I.A., was there to be seen and heard doing the firing. One way the CIA searched for patsies for their deep state assassinations was by secretely funding and hiding under the cover and guise of christian charities through refugee rescue organizations like Samaratan's Purse. The C.I.A. funded one such recruitment camp at the Ft. Chaffee, Arkansas facility ran by World Vision. And one of those volunteers that worked at the camp in the late 1970's was a gentleman by the name of MARK DAVID CHAPMAN, (Lennon's assailant). But interestingly enough, one of the members of the Board Of Directors for World Vision was John Warnock Hinkley, Sr., father of Ronald Reagan's alleged shooter. Chapman and Hinkley, Jr. are the exact same age. And just for the record, NONE of Hinkley's bullets hit Reagan.
What’s worse he never even set foot in a actual prison! He was in Med bay at Psych Ward for the last 30 years having everything and anything handled for him. Dude didn’t even have to wipe his anus if he didn’t want to. Food was coming, tv was on, books were near by now he gets to live like a rockstar ?
The Problem i Have with People responding to Videos like this is that. People want to Have this Black and White View of the World. People just Want Everyone to Be Perfect. Or if Someone does a Very Bad Thing. Instead of Having Mixed Feelings They Go Completely 180. And They Want to Commit Vigilantism. You are Not Judge Jury or Executioner. I Go by the rule of No Killing Anyone Ever No Matter how Evil they are
Yeah but a real good question is no matter how evil would you genuinely feel safe/alone around the even in this case my opinion 50/50 but I would say NO
So you go by the rule of no killing any evildoer right?, but you would be happy having someone else doing it for you, having someone else killing the ones who have no problem killing, raping or slaughtering other people, imagine everyone in this world behaving like you, imagine every murderer, every rapist knowing that everyone is going to behave like you when they do what they do, just imagine that!
@@jesse-ll3dhI’ll give it a crack. When he apologized to those he shot, he only named Reagan and Brady and “the two others”while incongruously mentioning Foster. Foster portrayed a twelve year old hooker in Taxi Driver. His infatuation with her never ended. Unlikely to recommit but not one to admire.
@@jesse-ll3dhbeing a SIMP is like basically saying you are a “simpleton “ a person that would do anything and everything just to sniff a admirers hair. Someone who would sacrifice their own life or willingness to degrade themselves for the tamest of gestures back. This dude tried to take out the President for a girl he never mets affection! Epitome of SiMP lol
I would love to host a show with you headlining, John. Come on down to Southeast Kentucky and I have the hookup for you. 41 years? Everyone deserves a second chance if they've truly put in the effort to heal themselves and music is the most truest level of love and realness.
He may have gotten well and he seems like a reasonably harmless nice person but his actions on that March day resulted in a man being paralyzed the rest of his life with limited mental capability along with others being wounded and could have died. And worse of all he wounded The President of the United States which puts the national security in danger because our adversaries would see that in a time of such crisis, as a chance to act up.
Guy who set a wood house on fire says we should build our mansions and apartment complexes out of something that’s… not wood. I did some really difficult mental processing for you there you’re welcome. Hand guns are a leading cause of death as it’s due to mishandling and sewerslide. It would be great if we had to do half as much as it takes to get a drivers license as to get a gun
Im not sure Hinckley needs a music 'career'. Let him play at home for his own therapeutic needs. He took Brady's life, and almost Reagan's. We forgive him but let him have a quiet life after lockup. His need for stardom is not only a narcissistic red flag but in bad taste.
He isn't really sorry. He is just surviving and this is 100% an institutionally created repentance simply because years and years of being locked away and growing old forced him to adopt the mentality he is required to have to be released. This is worth nothing, this isn't true regret and actually if one day after this retirement act of his wears thin...dont be shocked if he attempts another crime just to finally scratch that itch.
@@rubyrain8866 Because the crime in and of itself is proof of being insane, a lunatic. A person who has either a very stupid, or twisted, or both, conception of the world and other human beings. I mean attempting to assassinate the president? In the 80s? What kind of crap must this guy have floating around in his mind? A choice like this is inherently stupid and void of some normal compassion or rational thinking. I think that's inherent in Hickley as a human being, not something that's a product of some system. So in this sense, I think you can't really cure him from this, you can't cure him from being, well, a dumb fuck. What you can do is beat him until he is hunched over and humbled enough to not be of any further harm...which is what the system did. You also see the body language, the way he speaks, etc. This is not a man who is truly sorry, he understands it was wrong on some level, but I doubt he can actually, fully comprehend and accept what a nutcase and a moron he is - because he is a nutcase and a moron.
@@rubyrain8866pretty simple reason “conditioning” he was conditioned to think and act a certain way and say things of remorse even if not to actually feel it. Fake it til you make it. We all watched tv growing up and we’re amazed at lawyers knowingly helping criminals get off by reason of insanity and coaching them to “fail” or pass” competency tests. It’s just funny and odd people know his motives but was ruled insane ? So an Insane person told you something and you decided to believe it.
Mr. Brady was severely injured and ultimately died from his wounds after suffering for years. This monster should still be incarcerated. Perhaps in some type of mental institution but it's sad that he is free to live while getting paid to sit down for interviews
