John Hinckley's Obsession With Actress Jodie Foster Had All The Warning Signs Of A Violent Stalker Before He Attempted To Assassinate Former President Ronald Reagan

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.

Criminally insane John Hinckley Jr., has been freed 35-years after the 1981 attempted murder of former U.S. President, Ronald Reagan, who had only been in office 69 days.

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.

First Lady Michelle Obama Attacked By The Press For Wearing $12,000 Dress

First Lady Michelle Obama and President Barack Obama

This week the White House held a state dinner for French president Francios Hollande, the head of state who is in the middle of a sexual affair scandal in his native France (coincidentally, Obama has been hit with rumors of an affair with singer Beyonce that seems well-timed to promote someone’s currently declining CD - but more on that later).

 

First Lady Michelle Obama

Mrs. Obama wore a $12,000 Carolina Herrera gown for the event, but critics balked at the price tag, deeming it inappropriate. However, dresses are usually loaned or given to high profile figures. The story is reminiscent of the 1980s when former first lady Nancy Reagan was heavily criticized for wearing many expensive dresses, while her husband, former president, Ronald Regan was in office. 

On a side note, Obama, pictured below, was seen checking out the first lady’s chi chis over Francois Hollande's shoulder (LOL)

New Book States Elizabeth Taylor Had Sex With Ronald Reagan When She Was 15 And He 36

Elizabeth Taylor at age 15

A new book titled "Elizabeth Taylor: There is Nothing Like a Dame" claims the late actress Elizabeth Taylor had sex with actor and former U.S. President, Ronald Reagan, when she was 15-years-old and he 36. The book claims Taylor pounced on Reagan, becoming the aggressor, while both sat on a sofa in his home. It also states she had a threesome with former President John F. Kennedy and actor Robert Stack.  

Ronald Reagan

The claim is quite scandalous and troubling. It is regrettable as well, as neither are here to defend themselves. Maybe it happened, maybe it did not. However, as with all posthumous claims, anything can be said or written. Either way it damages both their names in death.

Is Obama A Friend Of Wall Street Or Of The Average Joe

You Decide. Self-Examination Necessary During Financial Crisis.

Is U.S. President Barack Obama a friend of Wall Street, which is the corporate sector or the average American Joe, also known as the everyday people. The film "The Obama Deception" labels him, "The most Wall Street president in U.S. history." 

Decisions President Obama has made, such as not increasing taxes on the rich, though the nation needs the money, indicates he is more of a friend to the wealthy in the corporate sector, than the average Joe trying to make it on much smaller salaries, such as minimum wage and those in lower-middle income brackets. 

Has this helped America? No. The anemic economy, with ongoing massive job losses, millions of people giving up on finding work after trying for a significant period of time, foreclosures and bank failures, indicate it has not worked. President Obama has not had success in restoring the economy to its former glory, which is not impossible, as other nations are making strong strides even in these tough economic times. 

Former Presidents, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, understood it was wise to keep a safe distance from Wall Street, only providing a supporting role and different degrees of regulation, lest they get swept up in a world of constantly issuing favors for the ingratiating rich, while the poor pay the price. It's a lesson President Obama would do well to observe and it is a shame he did not do so from year one of his presidency.  

The Obama Administration Has Deported A Record Number Of Immigrants In 2011

Barack Obama

The Democrats are usually the U.S. political party most sympathetic in pushing for an avenue for illegal immigrants to become lawful residents and then citizens of the United States of America. However, under the Obama Administration, that is not the case. President Obama has deported a record 400,000 people in one year (never mind his aunt and uncle have been receiving a free pass to stay in America, though they are illegal immigrants).

Former Presidents Bill Clinton (Democrat) and Ronald Reagan (Republican) held amnesties, allowing illegal immigrants in America a path to U.S. citizenship. This was the humane thing to do, rather than resorting to deportation. President Obama is currently courting the Hispanic vote in America (50,000,000 people) and that of others who are Caribbean-American, which accounts for millions more votes (Jamaicans, Haitians, Bahamians, Trinidadians and others from the region).

Setting this precedent of deporting 400,000 people in 2011 (and the year is not even over) most of them Hispanics, will not help Obama with the vote in 2012. Legal immigrants usually dislike it when illegal immigrants are deported for seeking a better life.

Many illegal immigrants are also vital to the farming, construction, food and hospitality industries in America, representing billions of dollars to said sectors of business. Therefore, what the Obama Administration has done via these deportations is also financially unsound.

Mrs. Obama Still Being Slammed Over Spain Trip

First Lady Michelle Obama: uh oh!

Americans are still angry with U.S. First Lady, Michelle Obama, over a lavish trip she took to Spain's Costa Del Sol, which cost the nation's taxpayers a million dollars, for her 60 strong entourage. She returned home to scathing press articles and angry blog comments, denouncing the price tag of the expensive vacation.

Racist radio talk show host, Rush Limbaugh, who flies everywhere by private jet, inappropriately stated she is only able to do such things, due to white guilt from slavery. He really is out of line and completely wrong, as this is not a color thing, but an expenditure issue. Furthermore, Mrs. Obama was a six-figure earning attorney, before moving to the White House with the President, who is also a lawyer. They weren't on welfare, Mr. Limbaugh.

Nancy Reagan: Wow, is that Ron, he looks darker since the last time I saw him and what's with the 'fro?!

Mrs. Obama is not the first, First Lady to overspend, as Nancy Reagan also incurred public criticism for constantly purchasing expensive designer dresses.

Former First Lady, Nancy Reagan and British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, in all their 80's glory (man, those shoulder pads take me back)

However, this is not the extremely wealthy America of the 1980s. This is debt ridden America of 2010, with a $13 trillion deficit. Therefore, such an expenditure hit home this time, as America is facing the worst financial crisis in the nation's history, brought on by former President, George W. Bush and his corporate cronies.

The Judiciary Report has been stating for months the Obamas need to knock it off with the vacations, as it does not look good at this time. Mrs. Obama's trip was ill-conceived, ill-advised and ill-timed (nothing against Spain, as it is a lovely country).

President Barack Obama

The fact still remains, the Obamas need to refrain from such spending and keep in mind, the sensitive financial climate in the nation, which is upsetting many Americans, who rightfully view this crisis as something not of their own making. Once again, Bush is to blame. However, Obama's spending is making it worse. This is not a time for vacations, but hard work and thrift.

Side Bar: Maybe someone needs to install a moderately priced spa in the White House to help them de-stress. It would save the taxpayers a lot of money in vacation time.

Obama School Speech Still Scrutinized

U.S. President Barack Obama's planned school speech, scheduled to be televised in classrooms all across America, is still being heavily scrutinized.

It seems strange, as Presidents Reagan and Bush, respectively, gave speeches to students. Therefore, why is it a problem now, for a sitting U.S. President, to give a speech to schools.
