John Hinckley Jr., the man who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan, is playing a sold-out concert in Brooklyn, New York later this year. Hinckley, 66, announced the show in a Twitter post last week, writing that he will be performing at the New York City borough's Market Hotel on July 8. "Get your tickets while you can," Hinckley wrote at the time. According to Pilot Venue, the website selling tickets to the event, the show is now sold out. Hinckley will be released from the court-ordered restrictions he has lived under for years in June, a month before the scheduled concert. The attempted assassination of President Reagan took place in 1981 when Hinckley was 25 years old. Reagan, a Secret Service agent, a police officer, and then-White House Press Secretary James S. Brady were all wounded in the incident. Hinckley said he was trying to impress actress Jodie Foster and was found not guilty by reason of insanity by a jury in 1982. He spent time in psychiatric care until 2016, after which he was mandated to live with his mother, who died last year, and with other court-ordered restrictions.

Different guy but it would be more like Instant Karma.
This sounds like Babylon Bee.
Wonder if he’s still buddies with the Bush Family?
At least we know where he got the idea from.
Will Jodie Foster be attending?
So much for the “insanity” defense.
It was always only ever fake.
It’s a one-off park for the audience presumably because I’ve heard this guy’s singing and it stinks.
Other than that, Mrs. Hinckley, how was the play?

Consider; Twitter allows a presidential assassin to have an account, but bans Trump.
If Karma were true, we’d all be dead.
Anthony Fauci is dating Jodie Foster.
An INSANE presidential assasin.
All ticket buyers should be required to sit through the entire event.
From a Market Hotel website
“Market Hotel has reopened our doors for events, maintaining prudent safety measures in place to protect the health of our guests and our staff. All entrants must be masked and must provide proof of completed Covid vaccination. Thank you for your cooperation”
mostly Democrats will flock to see him. To them, he’s a hero who almost took out Reagan. They’ll be there with their Che, Lenin, and Mao t-shirts.
