United States: The man who wanted to kill Reagan will be sold out

John Hinckley, the man who tried to kill Ronald Reagan, now writes and sings love songs and the news is that he would have run out of tickets for a future concert in New York.

According to FOX5 New York, Hinckley Jr., 67, was due to play at the Market Hotel in July. The information was initially extracted from the club’s official website and was also communicated by the artist on Twitter.

The show was supposed to be part of a tour called the “John Hinckley Redemption Tour”, which was supposed to have started sometime ago in Connecticut and Chicago, but performances at both venues have been canceled.

Although Hinckley Jr. is free from the remaining supervisory restrictions as of September 2021, the judge’s order will not take effect until June 15.

“Thank you very much to all who have helped me to obtain my unconditional release. What a long and strange journey it has been. Now it’s time for rock and roll, “wrote the singer after being completely free.

A star was born?

“The world still suffers a lot, but we have a lot to gain, this is the majesty of love”, he intones in “Majesty of Love”, his first original song.

At the end of 2020 the man opened a YouTube channel in which he has already released six songs, four of which are original and two covers: one is “Can’t Help Falling in Love”, by Elvis Presley, and the other is “Blowin ‘. in the wind ‘, from Bob Dylan.

Hinckley was able to show his new face in the middle of a room full of clocks and paintings that he painted himself. Guitar in hand, he offered quite harmonic songs that were celebrated in the comments.

The new way of speaking about love she has found is much healthier than the previous one. On March 30, 1981, John shot the former US president six times to impress actress Jodie Foster..

Foster, who was 19 at the time, had starred in “Taxi Driver,” a film that haunted Hinckley. He saw it 15 times and felt very identified with Travis, the character played by Robert De Niro.

The attack on Reagan

John began planning his attack when Jimmy Carter he was president. I wanted to imitate what Travis does in one of the film’s scenes. But since Carter lost the election, the new target was Reagan.

He went to Washington and learned that Reagan was at the Hilton Hotel. He believed that when he left the building it would be the perfect time.

Two hours before meeting the president at the hotel door, he wrote a letter to Foster as proof of the act he would commit for her. She left it in the room.

I got to the Hilton, waited for Reagan and when he saw him he shot him six times. Four people were injured, including the president. One of the bullets ricocheted off the 70-year-old politician’s limousine and hit him in the torso under the left arm. He survived the attack thanks to the excellent work of the doctors.

Who got worse was James Brady, the White House press secretary at the time. He was shot in the head and although he survived, he was disabled for life.

Hinckley Jr. trapped

Hinckley was captured and taken to St. Elizabeth Psychiatric Hospital.in Washington, where he remained confined until 2016. He was not found guilty of his obsession and madness with the fixation he had with Foster.

More than five years ago they released him because they realized he no longer poses a threat. He first lived with his mother and brother in Virginia and currently lives alone, close to their home, completely devoted to music.

In 2019, John had begun to fight hard to be released from the 30 strict court orders that were imposed on him when he was released. including that of not being able to move from their state.
