Not sure what to think
John Hinckley Jr., who shot and wounded President Ronald Reagan in 1981, was freed from court oversight Wednesday, officially concluding decades of supervision by legal and mental health professionals.
“After 41 years 2 months and 15 days, FREEDOM AT LAST!!!,” he wrote on Twitter shortly after 12 p.m.
And there's going to be a concert
Freedom for Hinckley will include giving a concert — he plays guitar and sings — in Brooklyn, New York, that’s scheduled for July. He’s already gained nearly 30,000 followers on Twitter and YouTube in recent months as the judge loosened Hinckley’s restrictions before fully lifting all of them.

If he'd shot a democrat POTUS he'd still be in a cell.

Nope. If he shot a Democrat POTUS the CIA and FBI would have made sure he never survived to arrest, let alone trial.

He has essentially been free (released from St. Elizabeth's) since 2016. Even before then, he was allowed unsupervised visits outside the hospital with his family. This latest round just removes any court oversight.

That POS was never even charged for murdering James Brady (who died of his injuries many years later). He should have been executed.
I detest our criminal "justice" system.

Interesting timing. In 2017, several Republican politicians came close to being assassinated. Court supervision ends just days after a would-be assassin goes after a Republican-appointed justice.
