John Hinckley, Jr. will soon be a free man

[Vandal]

John W. Hinckley Jr., who spent more than 35 years in a psychiatric hospital for attempting to assassinate President Reagan in 1981, will be released into his mother's care as early as next month under a federal court order.

In a 103- page court order, U.S. District Judge Paul L Friedman of Washington writes that Hinckley, 61, no longer poses a danger to himself or others. He could be freed as soon as Aug. 5.

Maybe Jodie Foster should go into hiding.

His mother is in her 90s. NPR story I heard said that mainly he will be visiting her, not being cared for by her.

I have a very bad feeling about this. Previous stories said he'd disobeyed legal terms set on practise "freedom" visits.

I'm surprised they're going ahead with this.

I'd also read some impassioned "please don't let them set him free" pleas from Reagan's daughter.

Here's what that kind of thinking led to in France:

Father Jaques Hamel, 85, a Catholic priest, served his community with humility and devotion for six decades. During mass, Fr. Hamel's church was attacked by radical Islamic terrorists who slit his throat in front of his congregation, critically wounded a nun, and then "conducted services" in Arabic until they were shot by police.
The lead attacker was out on bail after his arrest for trying to join ISIS in Syria.
May Father Hamel's soul have an elevation, and may his memory always be for a blessing.
Lets pray for a complete and speedy recovery to the sister fighting for her life, and for all victims injured in these attacks.

As for Hinckley, they waited till President and Mrs. Reagan passed away. He probably doesn't know or care about Clinton or Trump.
