McCain's letter to John Hinkley

[Texas Yellow Fever]

This is an oldie, but still funny....

John Hinckley released from prison

You might recall that John Hinckley was a seriously deranged young man who shot President Reagan in the early1980s. Hinckley was absolutely obsessed with movie star Jodie Foster, extremely jealous, and in his twisted mind, loved Jodie Foster to the point that to make himself well known to her, he attempted to assassinate President Reagan. There is speculation Hinckley may soon be released as having been rehabilitated. Consequently, you may appreciate the following letter from John McCain that the staff at the mental facility, treating Hinckley , reports to have intercepted this past weekend:


To: John Hinckley

From: John McCain

My wife and I wanted to drop you a short note to tell you how pleased we are with the great strides you are making in your recovery. In our fine country's spirit of understanding and forgiveness, we want you to know there is a non partison consensus of compassion and forgiveness throughout. My wife Cindy and I want you to know that no grudge is borne against you for shooting President Reagan. We, above all, are aware of how the mental stress and pain could have driven you to such an act of desperation. We are confident that you will soon make a complete recovery and return to your family to join the world again as a healthy and productive young man.

Best Wishes,

John and Cindy McCain

PS: While you have been incarcerated, Barack Obama has been banging Jodie Foster like a screen door in a tornado. You might want to look into that. We just thought you should know.

Tim, Hinkley has had on and off unsupervised release from the hospital since 2000 according to Wiki. I saw a special on TV the other night which stated the Secret Service does watch him while he's out.

From Wiki:

St. Elizabeths

Shortly after his trial, Hinckley wrote that the shooting was "the greatest love offering in the history of the world", and was upset that Foster did not reciprocate his love.[13]
After being admitted, tests found that Hinckley was an "unpredictably dangerous" man who may harm himself, Jodie Foster, and any other third party. In 1983 he told Penthouse that on a typical day he will “see a therapist, answer mail, play (his) guitar, listen to music, play pool, watch television, eat lousy food, and take delicious medicationâ€￾.[14]
He was allowed to leave the hospital for supervised visits with his parents in 1999, and longer unsupervised releases in 2000.[1] These privileges were revoked when he was found to have smuggled materials about Foster back into the hospital. Hinckley was later allowed supervised visits in 2004 and 2005. Court hearings were held in September 2005 on whether he could have expanded privileges to leave the hospital. Some of the testimony during the hearings centered on whether Hinckley is capable of having a normal relationship with a woman and, if not, whether that would have any bearing on what danger he would pose to society.
On December 30, 2005, a federal judge ruled that Hinckley would be allowed visits, supervised by his parents, to their home in Williamsburg, Virginia. The judge ruled that Mr. Hinckley could have up to three visits of three nights and then four visits of four nights, each depending on the successful completion of the last. All of the experts who testified at Mr. Hinckley's 2005 conditional release hearing, including the government experts, agreed that his depression and psychotic disorder were in full remission and that he should have some expanded conditions of release.
After requesting further freedoms including two one-week visits with his parents as well as a month long visit, U.S. District Judge Paul L. Friedman denied that request on Wednesday, June 6, 2007, but not because Hinckley wasn't ready.

"The reasons the court has reached this decision rest with the hospital, not with Mr. Hinckley," Friedman said, adding that Hinckley's prior visits have been uneventful and his family has done all that has been asked of them. "Unfortunately, the hospital has not taken the steps it must take before any such transition can begin".[1]
​

On June 17,2009 A federal Judge ruled that Hinckley would be given the ability to visit his mother for nine days at a time, rather than six, spend more time outside of the hospital, and even have a driver's license. This was done over the objections of the prosecutors who felt that he was still a danger to others and had unhealthy and inappropriate thoughts about women. Records show that he has had sexual relations with two women, one who was married for a long time, and the other who is bipolar. Hinckley also has recorded a song, entitled "Ballad of an Outlaw" which the prosecutors claim is "reflecting suicide and lawlessness."

I'm sorry, but I respectfully disagree with you on this point. IMHO he should have been shot (repeatedly) on the spot. No need to dirty up a perfectly good chair with his stupid guilty ass.
