Just thinking about how much this whole incident has and will continue to cost us over the years in dollars and cents from the minute he pulled the trigger to the day he passes away?

John W. Hinckley Jr., will be released from a government psychiatric hospital more than 35 years after he attempted to assassinate president Ronald Reagan and shot three others outside the Washington Hilton on March 30, 1981, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.
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., effective as soon as Aug. 5subject to dozens of temporary treatment and monitoring conditions, U.S. District Judge Paul L Friedman of Washington wrote.
If Hinckley adheres to all restrictions, they could begin to be phased out after 12 to 18 months, removing him from court control for the first time since he was confined to St. Elizabeth's Hospital after the shooting, according to the order.
Hinckley lived at hospital full time until the 1990s, when he was permitted supervised visits with family members that gradually have been extended to 17 days a month at the home of his 90-year-old mother in a gated golf course development.

We support Millions of Wack Jobs and I get tired of it too. Some Folks need killin..would you do it..
You either pay for all the Wack Jobs treatment or kill them, your call.:shrug
Coincidence? I don't think so.
The one that got me was the transgender that was in prison in Massachusetts I believe. The federal judge ruled the state had to pay for his sex change operation. That takes the cake there I couldn't believe it.
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
