This man is the first person to step inside of a movie theater and go "wow, that guy is literally me."
very similar to this case I believe is Mark Chapman, though it was the book not a film.
I’m confused?. . . There are people who do cameos in a movie. Brett Favre could go into “They’re something about Mary” & say:
“That guy is literally me”

The true victim was Jim Brady. The man was shot through the brain, and was partially paralyzed and disabled and in pain for life.
And he died of his wounds.
@@84saints I noticed that. 33 years after the shooting, though, which is very strange to call that a homicide.
I'd love to know what the autopsy showed, that linked his death(at age 73) to his being shot in the brain 33 years prior.
Wish I could upvote twice.

Brady may have not died from his injuries at the time, but he eventually died due to his injuries 💔
Yes. And many serve much longer for less.
Good.
His death was ruled a homicide for that reason.
@@jakejerrison5181 you seem like a nice person. 🙄
And suffered and had an altered life. Really sad.
A July 2024 interview is something I want to see now.
He uploaded a video saying he wants to live in peace and harmony and he is sorry for what he did
Imagine for Jodie Foster to be 17, fitting into college life & this outrageous batshit

Hinckley is ok. A lot of guys buy guns to impress women. Big guns scream big penis!
Scary.
Never really found myself having the time or inclination to worry about Jodie Foster. But then again, I have a life
What exactly is it you want this man to say? He has said he has true remorse for what he did. Asking him stupid questions like "what would've happened had you succeeded" he answered and the reporter says, that's it....what do you mean that's it? WHAT IS HE SUPPOSED TO SAY??!!
He's supposed to remember the names of the people he shot, not just the celebrities he shot.
@@justthefacts8872 ok. That I can understand!! Thank you
@@justthefacts8872 it just seems as thought they are trying to make him feel worse than he probably already does. I know the psycho part of criminality gets thrown around easily these days with the mass shootings but back than it wasn't normal to plead insanity and get it!
@@mackersun man you guys do this to people all day everyday lenient on one person and then going to burn the rest of everybody else especially people who don't look like you
🤡🤡 ALL of you ppl..
@@mackersun I get it. But I find it hard to sympathize with a person who, as a free, 26 year old man, was able to purchase a gun, shoot 4 men to impress a 17 year old starlet, gets put in a mental institute not a prison, with free room, board, healthcare and unrestricted weekends away from the hospital, for decades. 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.
He should skip the PR interviews, be grateful that he gets the ambulatory life that Brady was denied and enjoy his advanced years, quietly.
He’s so heavily medicated it’s not even him anymore
Right, he's out of the hospital, but he's not off of his meds or out of mental health therapy. He's never had a job, family, or a normal life. It seems like he's not a danger anymore, and he's just an old man.
It was a good idea, in my opinion, to cancel the musical performances. There's too much possibility of someone trying to get "revenge" for the late president or even press secretary Brady. For Hinckley's safety, it was better that he didn't do them.
They should up the dose until there is no him anymore
Do you know him?

Look at his eyes. This man has been under strong treatment with anxiety pills and countless drugs for 25 years. His brain must be absolutely shattered by his everyday massive pills and shots.

Dang why such strong feelings? Guys seems like a grew up drinking water from a lead cup lol what he did was awful but this is like getting mad at Lennie for hugging the kitten too hard, of mice and men reference (let’s not remember the end of the book please lol)
CIA MKultra Democrat. He was programmed to do it. It is the same play book.
He should he made a mistake 40 years ago and now is a functioning human being
Ronald Reagan (whom was the main target in Hinckley’s attacks) himself forgave him, and even prayed for him and wished him the best in life, plus was 40 years living under the scrutiny of the justice and the mental health system, so just leave the guy alone already and let him live out the rest of his life in tranquility. Nobody can change what happened, so what’s the point for Americans to keeping dwelling about an event that happened such long ago.
Yes just don’t mention Jody Foster in front of him. Man is he’d only known that being crazy was just the first reason he never had a chance with her.
This whacko while heavily medicated says "sorry" with no emotion whatsoever and you think he's just going to "live out the rest of his life in tranquility"? Lmao no, one thing the past has taught us is "therapy" doesn't fix people like this

Beautifully written thoughts Ms Rendon. 🧸
@@ghostwalk2446 "therapy" does fix people like this..
The only presidential assassin in history to have ever been granted full freedom. I hope John has been able to find peace of mind and more people will be able to forgive him
He was locked up in a mental facility for years. That will NEVER grant you a piece of mind. Mental health facilities are worse than prison.
Attempted assassin.
I believe at the time his parents were multi-millionaires with that kind of money no matter what you look like you could get better-looking women than Jodie Foster...At the top I wrote my comment what happened.. I guarantee it will be taken down within 2 days maybe less..Why did Jeb Bush's son Neil have lunch with John Hinckley Jr. The day before the attempted assassination..At the time George Bush Senior was vice president by taking Reagan out he would go right to the top."WHOWHATWHY".. tells you 90% of the story..
No not the only one
He makes music now. W man
While there is now more focus on mental illness being a factor of the mass shootings that have become so much a part of our society that should have been a part of this conversation.
absolutely. I felt like the interviewer wasnt great at this. I felt more like. "Say your sorry, say you feel badly"
Heck no
Yes and it just goes to prove that we, as a society, need to focus much MORE on mental illness rather than our own personal needs and greed and that of our immediate family.
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.
They're not redemption concerts, and you have to remember he's over 60 and hasn't had a job. No one will touch him, he was willing ot take a payday for an interview, it's that simple. He was trying to do concerts because he wants to do a profession but no one will touch him again.
@@Folsomdsf2 He'd lose his disability if he were paid for it.
@@Folsomdsf2 No one would touch him and his twin brother Mark David Chapman before 1980.
Your absolutely right. 👍💯
Hinckley wants to follow the new American dream of being a victim seeking empathy
Still sounds like there’s a bit of a disconnect.
My grandfather was a chauffeur and drove around many famous people and John Hinkley Jr. was one of them when he got let out he said the one word to describe him was just numb absolutely numb
*just drugged absolutely medicated
i believe it.........the mental health system just threw drugs at him for 35 years. he just doesnt seem "all there" in this interview IMO
@@andyman8214 Better than a raging maniac like in 1981.
@@andyman8214 No they didn't. He received a LOT of therapy as well!
He seems truly regretful, at certain points tears barely surfacing but not a dramatic show.
I've been damaged permanently by sociopathic abuse but I could forgive anyone completely if they became truly sorry for what they did and became better people. In fact it's what I'd like from them most
(Not all survivors have to feel that way, tho).
I remember this like yesterday. I was in high school in the 11th grade when this happened. This was all over the news for a few days.
Well he doesn't remember it.
I remember this too exactly in detail! I watched the news all day on tv with my family all day that afternoon and evening and I was just 14.41 years later and I can remember in detail on what I did that day.
I remember it too. I was in the sixth grade.
I can’t forget either. My husband proposed to me that morning. Later I was in a department store, walking past a row of TVs when I heard the news.
I came home from 6th grade and sat in my basement bedroom and listened to the news until supper time. Poured over the newspapers. Might have a clipping saved. I almost voted for no lips. I was stuck in a campus meeting. Good thing it would’ve tarnished my Democrat background now.
He sounds like Morgan Freeman the first few times he’s up for parole in “The Shawshank Redemption”.
At his clinic, every night was Enchilada Night! And, there was no buried cash in Mexico waiting for him to get out.
Stamp "REJECTED".
@@RobARug Haha! Exactly.
Assuming they were looking for the tell-tale signs, I never could figure out the denials. Maybe because already saw Morgan Freeman as a good person.
i was in 11 at john f. kennedy H.S. when this happened,it was shocking when i saw it in the news at home coming out of school that day.

James Brady’s life was changed forever.
And he died prematurely! Cause of death: homicide.
Horrifying.
True. James Brady's life became seriously different after he was shot in the head. He started liking gun control. Too much brain damage.
@@valmacclinchy Prematurely? Do tell. The life expectancy for men in America, which is actually going DOWN (and is the only first world country to do so) is about 76. Brady lived to be 73.
@@retroguy9494 are you his doctor? The cause of death was homicide. It turns out a bullet can do long-term damage to a brain. What's your excuse?
@@valmacclinchy You want to insult me when I think its YOU who has brain damage. Now see if you can follow me on this. Try REALLY hard.
I NEVER questioned his cause of death. I questioned your statement that he died prematurely. And I did it with FACTS. One does not need to be a doctor to read the government timetables about longevity. The average life expectancy for a man is 76. That's a FACT. Brady died at 73. That's ALSO a fact. So there was nothing "premature" about his death. Period full stop!
For some reason I think the guy on the right is more candid and truthful than the guy on the left
I agree with the statement below. Brady is the real victim. He suffered many many years after the incident. It left him "Brady" completely disabled. Unfortunately Brady passed away for to other health issues.
if its up to him to take his meds its up to him to not take them or skip once in awhile,who's their to make sure he takes them?
Hopefully the judge, as a condition of his release from the hospital, requires regular blood tests to ensure he continues to take his medicine.
Exactly my thought, he might stop and look for a new celebrity to be obsessed with again
I felt bad for John Hinckley's parents. I think they tried to help their son.
That's very kind of you to say that.
His parents wrote a book called "Breaking Points" that gives an inside view of the events that lead the Regan incident. They explain that he had lingering mental health issues for years prior.
Please check it out.
They took him to a psychiatrist , who said nothing was wrong with him and he was just immure furthermore just needed tough love . That doctor was clearly wrong .That psychiatrist made his parents put him out and tell him to fend for himself . He ended up unsupervised and able to commit the crime .Clearly the doctor did more harm , than good . He was probably not even evaluated . His siblings wanted to have him institutionalized before he commit the crime , his father along with the psychiatrist objected . If he had been , he might never have commit the crime .

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.
If that was the case, George HW bush would not run in 1992 as president.
@@AndrewSmith-hw4ml Do you mean if he had succeeded?
@@nancychace8619 Yes
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.
Next time can we get a better interviewer for a big interview like this?
Yeah, just give him the fame he wanted
@@mattk8810 He got that already long time ago. So whats new. Everyone wants there 5 minutes of fame. Even you. That's why you replied to my comment.
@@MrRatingz You're absolutely right. Would have got a more insightful interview with a skilled interviewer instead of the dingbat they chose. I think a segment on a morning show would be more his speed

My nature is compassion and forgiveness, but something remains creepy about this man.
At least he’s putting his energy into music
"We've never heard his voice"
*me having been listening to his music since he started using his own name*
This dude does not belong out on the street! Don't care how much meds he's on. He can be forgiven (metaphorically) but what he did cannot be forgotten or dismissed. He deserves life behind bars.
and taxpayers have to pay his jailtime due to your extreme mercy?
What if you succeeded?
(Me thinking he'd say "death penalty ")
Him: I guess a new president.
These shooters have shotty memories. Sirhan Sirhan was the same. (Pun intended)
I'm old remember when he was up for parole. " Kennedys would for give me. " The 1 person I killed would have forgiven me"
Yep. It dawned on a investigator that Sirhan was a liar when he noticed that Sirhan's memory was very selective (in a interview). I think it is the same with this guy.
I want to see Sling Blade now
That interviewer HATES john hinkley , it's so obvious
I was too young at the time for this to really affect me but the reporter seemed really rude during the interview.
Right??
I was 13 when this happened. You're right, reporter does seem rude.
The guy is genuinely remorseful. Probably still delusional but so are the venues that were prepared to let him perform. I hope those people can all forgive him.
The human race will never forgive him, nor SHOULD they.
He deserves a second chance and I'm not big on giving second chances
If he’s alive… I guess he deserves a second chance. I have a hard time accepting his actions and/or forgiving him.
Do you think Jodie Foster is sleeping easy tonight?
His desire for a career in show business gives me reservations about how mentally healthy he really is. If he craves the “limelight” perhaps he could become an advocate for the mentally ill; doing vlogs, or blogs or writing a book. He could try to sell his songs rather than seeking the adulation of being a performer.
I was in DC for an Arts conference, and jobs fair, staying in a hotel less than a block from where Reagan was shot. In fact we had walked the same route, near to where he was shot, a couple hours earlier. I'd never been to DC before and it was big day for myself and my fellow Art school grad students. We there hoping to get hired as new professors, by the colleges and universities represented at the jobs fair.

Why would he do the CBS interview on National television if he wasn't sincere and remorseful? He apologized to the Country,the Reagan families,Brady families and the rest.I think he's remorseful.

You can look at it ANOTHER way. The man DID live another 33 years to the age of 73. The average life expectancy for a man in the U.S., which has actually been declining (the only first world country to go backwards), is around 76. That's not bad despite his medical complications.

With a woman
He sounds like the Sling Blade guy.
Judy Woodruff was one of those other families. She was pregnant with her son. Details sketchy but she was near or at the hotel when the shots rang. A press secretary pulled her down when the shots were fired.
Do not let him out!
Hinkley should have stayed in the mental hospital for life !!!
Three men were seriously injured and that included the President, a Secret Service Agent and a Police Officer.
The 4th man Brady was critically wounded and nearly 40 years later he died and his death was ruled a homicide.
Hinkley may very well be sorry by know but that doesn't give him a free pass to get out of the hospital.
Why is he not prison
Been eating good in the slam. Got more chins then a Chinese phonebook
He should not even be interviewed.
Let's face it, he'll probably write a book and make a lot of money. He did his time though, so good for him.
Since when did we consider doing time an honest accomplishment. You know considering they are forced to.
I hope he DOES. Mental illness robbed him of most of his life, including his prime earning years so I hope his book earns him enough money to live in his old age.
A young Hinckley looked like a young Elton John.
I really dnt think he shoulda been able to walk away smh
