John Hinckley Jr. to Play Sold-Out Concert After Unconditional Release
Newsweek ^ | 4/13/2022 | Alexandra Huyzler

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.

Would be so nice if a fan asked for his autograph and then shot him. Karma!

Different guy but it would be more like Instant Karma.

Who's accompanying him? Mark David Chapman?

At least we know where he got the idea from.

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?

Hinckley, 66, announced the show in a Twitter post last week...

Consider; Twitter allows a presidential assassin to have an account, but bans Trump.

All ticket buyers should be required to sit through the entire event.

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.
