John Hinckley Jr., tried to assassinate former U.S. President Ronald Reagan in 1981, injuring him and three others (former White House Press Secretary James Brady, Secret Service agent Tim McCarthy and police officer Thomas Delahantry). Hinckley, who was freed yesterday after 35-years in a mental hospital, is a severely mentally ill stalker, who became obsessed with actress, Jodie Foster. 

Hinckley saw Foster in the debauched 1976 movie "Taxi Driver" where at age 13 the former child star player a teenage prostitute, in what was a highly sexualized and inappropriate role. Hinckley, at age 24, began criminally stalking a then 17-year-old Foster. Hinckley stalked Foster when she enrolled at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. He moved from Texas to Connecticut and routinely stalked her around campus.

Hinckley stalked Foster to the point he found out where she lived on campus and her private, unlisted telephone number. Hinckley got so uncomfortably close to Foster via stalking, he was able to slip letters and notes under her dorm room door and repeatedly telephoned her room, in what was a violation of her privacy.

Due to the fact Foster understandably rejected Hinckley, as no one likes being stalked and hounded, he insanely decided the only way to get her attention was to kill the President of the United States, which he later insanely branded, "The greatest love offering in human history." Hinckley first sought to kill former President Jimmy Carter, but later settled on newly elected Reagan.

Right before Hinckley attempted to kill Reagan, he slipped a note under Foster's dorm room door stating, "Over the past seven months I've left you dozens of poems, letters and love messages in the faint hope that you could develop an interest in me. Although we talked on the phone a couple of times I never had the nerve to simply approach you and introduce myself...the reason I'm going ahead with this attempt now is because I cannot wait any longer to impress you. - John Hinckley Jr."

The warning signs were there that he was capable of acts of violence. Hinckley stalked former President Carter from state to state and was arrested on a weapons charge while doing so. Hinckley's family missed the warning signs, despite the fact they did him treatment for depression, that he had become dangerous. However, the diagnosis was incomplete and in some regard incorrect. He was having violent ideations that made him a danger. He bought weapons prior to the assassination in attempts at acting out violent ideas.

Hinckley came from a wealthy oil family in Texas. His family's wealth clearly made a difference in the case, as he should have been sent to prison and for life, over the attempted murder of Ronald Reagan, James Brady, Tim McCarthy and Thomas Delahantry. Now the public is placed in peril again, as he has been freed, while one of his victims, Brady, died two years ago due to injuries stemming from the shooting. 

When Hinckley was admitted to a mental hospital after the attempted assassination, a psychiatrist labeled him "unpredictably dangerous." For decades his obsession with Foster has continued, as items relating to her have repeatedly been found in his possession. Yet, he has been freed this week.

Stalkers usually do not stop their criminal behavior unless they are stopped under the law. Stalkers should not be taken lightly. It is a serious mental disorder and one that warrants long term psychiatric intervention and confinement to a mental facility, provided the individual did not commit attempted murder or murder, which deserves a prison sentence.

A bullet struck White House Press Secretary, James Brady, on the right side of his head. Brady was left paralyzed on the left side of his body. Brady died in 2014, with the coroner listing homicide from the assassination attempt as the cause of death. During the assassination attempt, Hinckley also shot Secret Service agent Tim McCarthy in the stomach and police officer Thomas Delahantry in the neck as they tried to protect the president. Reagan recovered from the shooting and carried on with his duties as head of state.

Hinckley pled not guilty by reason of insanity and was sent to a mental hospital for three and a half decades. Brady was not charged with the death of Brady, though responsible for his early passing. The Judiciary Report is of the belief schizophrenic Hinckley should have spent the rest of his life in confinement. There is no known cure for schizophrenia and if he forgets to take his medicine, no longer being watched and ordered to by medical staff, something bad could happen again.

Would-be Reagan assassin John Hinckley Jr. to be freed after 35 years

July 27 at 7:52 PM - Thirty-five years after he shot President Ronald Reagan and three others outside a D.C. hotel, John W. Hinckley Jr. will be released from a government psychiatric hospital, a federal judge ordered Wednesday. The ruling ends the institutionalization of the one of the nation’s most notorious mental health patients.

Outrage over Hinckley’s acquittal in the 1981 shooting reshaped the insanity defense in courts across the country. The revelation that he had pulled the trigger to impress a movie star added obsession and celebrity to the case. And extraordinary television footage of the attack on the 40th U.S. president brought the event to millions of American homes.

In Wednesday’s court order, U.S. District Judge Paul L. Friedman wrote that Hinckley, 61, no longer poses a danger to himself or others and will be freed to live full time with his mother in Williamsburg, Va. His release could come as early as Aug. 5 and is subject to dozens of conditions, some of which could be phased out after a year if Hinckley adheres to them.

Buying Justice

...Or Buying Injustice

Ted Kennedy

The death of former U.S. senator, Ted Kennedy and the release of his altered F.B.I. file, has once again brought the subject of the Mary Kopechne drowning to the forefront of the press. Kopechne was a young woman Kennedy offered a ride home from a party, with the rumored intent of sexual intercourse.

However, Kennedy was drunk whilst behind the wheel and the car went of the road into the water. He managed to escape the sinking vehicle, but Kopechne drowned. Kennedy waited hours to call for help and report the incident, leaving the scene of the accident. He was never charged with drunk driving or made to face the court's over the incident that cost a young woman her life. Many have written, his dad, who was notoriously unscrupulous, bought out the case.

Sadly, sometimes the justice system turns to injustice, due to money and fame. This ought not to be, as a two tiered justice system will be the downfall of any society, leading to poverty and financial crisis.

Another case recently brings the perils of the two tiered justice system to mind. Actress Jodie Foster, allegedly assaulted a 17-year-old boy for taking her photograph. Foster, a homosexual, mistook the 17-year-old fan for a paparazzo, shoved him in the chest, scratched and grabbed him by the arm, which is completely illegal.

She was at the Grove shopping center in Los Angeles with her sons, one of whom reportedly apologized to the teen for his mother's conduct. Foster, who is notoriously private, is a lesbian and hiding it from the world.

The young man filed a police report, but the security tapes from the mall showing the incident, has mysteriously gone missing. How corrupt. If Foster did indeed do what she is accused of, she should be arrested for assault. Just because you read lines off a paper into a camera, does not make one better than anyone else.

Another interesting note, according to Radar Online, Foster's name was incorrectly spelled on the police report. It appears to be a Hollywood tactic. The Judiciary Report has seen Hollywood cases, where crazy stars, such as Madonna, had representatives call up the courthouse and demand clerks misspell their names on incriminating legal cases, to block it from coming up in search results for Pacer and other legal services.

Her name was spelled correctly on the lawsuit, yet the clerk mysteriously entered the word "Madoona" into the computer and official case file, then refused to correct it when a formal request was made to do so, as such misspellings can invalidate verdicts. Stars are constantly buying their way out of trouble, which is why they behave so badly, due to the double standard. Hollywood is disgraceful, corrupt and a blight on the justice system, not to mention the enemy of AIDS and cancer sufferers.
