This is far better than he would have done on his own. To expect a "no harm, no foul", campaign to make way for a burgeoning singer-songwriting career is as nonsensical as the interview. People take vacations in the neighborhood where he lives. It is Shangri- La. So, I'd prefer reserving my sympathy for those in jail who were unjustly convicted.

I’m on the fence over whether it’s a good idea for Hinckley to do these interviews. The corporate media is very savage in tearing people apart for the sake of getting public approval. If I were Hinckley, I would lay low and not give interviews to anybody. I would also not be doing any “redemption concerts” either. With regards to the question of justice, I would have declined to answer it and said that the interviewer should ask his victims if justice was served.

is it just me or is the fact that someone who tried to off el hefe presidente is being given airtime and a platform to talk about it? Why is part of his release agreement to lay low and move past this? I understand reform and release but there needs to be some kind of limitations for someone who does that

Dirtbag..look what he did to Jim Brady...

Funny that this clip doesn't mention how Hinckley was motivated to do this from the movie Taxi Driver. I guess that's where he got the idea to assassinate a politician and why he was obsessed with Jodie Foster (who was in the movie). At least that's what the internet tells me. (Not saying it's the movie's fault, but history would be different if this guy had not seen that movie lmao. Life is weird.)

Are you watching this, Tim Dillon?

Interesting interview. This incident changed the course of history one way or another. He has a chance for a new beginning. He might do well to consider finding a way to help other people.

Your comment has cost me a lot of bother since I have found it hard to imagine how he could help anyone. If he has learned nothing from the mental hospital then he does not seem to be very much like what's his name was that some Salinger who did well among folks who are sicko in the head? And that one gave us The Catcher in the Rye. What a marvelous contribution. I had the impression that that was one of the most seminal works of the twentieth century. But this other sicko? At least he doesn't seem to know anything and you can tell from that by itself that he is probably not qualified for any openings in the political science department either. Did maybe someone imagine a job at McDonalds for example? But the folks who already got a job at McDonalds would outdo him several times over. As far as I can tell we don't even want him to take care of our garbage and now if I keep right on searching for even one grain of truth on your beachhead then it suddenly occurs to me that maybe he's good for digging the holes at the graveyard unless if maybe what he deserves is a job at the tombstones company. All that stuff with granites and letters? That would fit him. Course he would probably need to get some training for that opening.

Stand by...

Untreated/ poorly treated mental illness is dangerous for the person suffering and all around them. Never ignore. It must be addressed.

I think he copped out a bit by not discussing the details of that day. You did this thing so many years ago. If you were genuinely detached, you could at least discuss the incident. If you don’t want to talk, then why do an interview? Make your apology video and go. I’m sure over the last 41 years, you’ve had plenty of discussions about why you were there in the first place. What’s one more discussion? Especially if doing so will show people that you’ve actually grown and moved past whatever it was that brought you there in the past. I’m sorry, to me, it feels disingenuous.

As to the question about him being free, whether it is Just? Though we as people may not perceive it as such, if he has served the sentence that the court prescribed, his freedom is both Just and Justified. From a standpoint of equitable, though he attempted to assassinate President Reagan, he did not succeed. Though Brady bore the biggest brunt of Hinkley's misdeeds, he didn't die, nor did the policeman or the Secret Service agent. Though lives were changed, all of his victims survived, and it was obvious he was suffering from some form of delusions. The Justice system makes excuses and exceptions for outright murderers and mass murderers every day. The notoriety of his intended victim should not factor into second guessing the trier of fact and his Judge. If he has followed the prescribed path of the sentence handed down, and in that time has shown himself to be no risk and on the path to recovery, there should be no questions about his release.

Almost on the money. A slightly better take is to not see him as a criminal or what happened to him as a sentence. As far as criminal law is concerned, this man did nothing illegal since he was not capable of criminal responsibility. Then the civil side of the court comes in and determines that this person’s illness makes them dangerous and the court orders him to get the treatment necessary to rejoin society safely. The bottom line is that it’s a mental health issue and not a criminal issue. Once a person meets the standards of the courts for being healthy enough to rejoin society, they should be able to.
