Man Who Shot Ronald Reagan To Be Freed | MSNBC

shameful. Hinckley deserved death for attempting to end Reagan's life. at the very least, he deserved to be locked in a cage forever.

I don't know if Hinkley is going to last outside. In the last 35 yrs, the world has become so advanced.

Kinda like that Canadian who was released shortly after decapitating someone on a bus

[ladamyre]

Maybe the network will bring back "Greatest American Hero" now. That was a cool show.

[shannondove]

Reagen was no saint either, he is responsible for thousands of dead in countries like Libya.
Some things I do like about reagen, such as he was racist.

[freetrailerpoor]

I hope Ron Reagan Jr. comes out and recommends everyone to vote for Trump.

I am opposed to John Hinckley being a free man I believe he is not fit to be in society

[growcactus]

After years of chemical lobotomization he can go live with the financial benefactors of his crime without fear of retaliation. jk

[TheLyon]

Maybe he will not fail "the second time."

I don't get why Hinckley was arrested in the first place.... it was Ronald Reagan for christ sake!!
