Who Should Really Be Concerned About John Hinckley's Outings
I'm wondering about why the Reagans are that worried about John Hinckley being allowed unsupervised outings with his parents. Reagan, whatever he may have been twenty-odd years ago, is effectively non compos mentis and isn't ambulatory these days.

The person who SHOULD be concerned about John Hinckley being on the loose isn't Nancy Reagan but Jodie Foster.

2. LOL! the one to be worried is King George. He could be made an
example like ronnie was.

Manchurian candidate and all.

7. Someone should tell John Hinckley-
about the affair that the Lil'Dictataor has been having with Jodi Foster...

3. Hinckely himself ...
... because the BFEE now has unrestricted access to help him commit 'suicide' before he remembers things and starts talking.

Ever see the movie 'Conspiracy Theory' with Mel Gibson ?
Uh-huh. :tinfoilhat:


:hippie:

4. society-at-large? ... it's not what you do, it's who you know
... and, how high up the buying influence ladder one is ...

... while someone on the street corner gets the book thrown at 'em for something victimless ...

not saying he actually shot anyone ... he very well might have been a patsy ... but, since it's all we have been given ... assuming 'he did it' ... it's another step toward being freed after 'shooting a president' ...

has the history of presidential assassins or attempted assassinations been lenient on the accused?

it seems a bit fishy

10. Free Squeaky - LOL ... after 3/30, it became 'morning in America' ...
... Nancy got a "First Lady" coiffure; bought some new 'red' White House china; just said no; and, all the stretch limo and fur whirlwind left in wake of the inaugural festivities (which included tongue-and-cheek hostage release on that day ... the October Surprise lapse-time pondering and wondering) ... it was like nothing happened ... the spin doctors had friction ... Ronnie and Nancy were waving from way up there in the hospital window so we couldn't examine 'the wound' and, off to ketchup in the cafeteria we went ...

6. Hinckley wont go near the Reagan
However, stars like Jodie or now Brittney should give a current picture of this freak to their security detail.

I have a hard time beliving this guy wont try to hurt someone else again.

8. No one as long as he is on his meds
NGRI is not a sentence you ever want, you are never finished. With the crimes (are we hearing much about him paralyzing Brady?) he committed and the spotlight on him I find it hard to believe that he will ever be released okay maybe in 15-20 years.

As long as he takes those meds he apparently is okay, no more potentially harmful to himself or others than anyone else.

I still don't think he should be given "unsupervised" visits and they aren't unsupervised.

9. Reagan is in California
but jodi foster, some other prominent figure or perhaps even bystanders should be careful.
I heard he still keeps Jodi's pictures in his room, and he was 'trying to fool the doctors' according to other witnesses.
