In case you were wondering what John Hinkley Jr was up to...

[Ohio Guy]

He's now a country music singer and is playing his first ever sold out show in New York in July.

I'm all for second chances, but we live in a strange, strange world.

When I listened to that song, this song immediately popped in my head

Smelly Cat

Didn't Sirhan Sirhan get pardoned?

He deserves an audience of 1 (Squeaky). She's one of the Manson girls who was released from prison. God knows if she's really living where she's supposed to be.

Imagine you had to wonder the rest of your life if Squeaky thought your singing was sufficiently respectful of Manson or not.

Didn't Hinkley also repeatedly contact/stalk Jodie Foster when she was in college? I doubt she thinks he is harmless.

He's probably considered a hero in AOC's district.

Pardoned? Good Lord no.

The state parole board recommended/approved him for parole, but Governor Newsom rejected it.

holy hell

Is it really that surprising 450 people in NYC bought tickets for $20? That's all the venue holds.

Pretty sure she can live wherever she wants at this point.

I mean, the whole reason he shot Reagan was to impress Jodie Foster. (Remember, in Taxi Driver, the movie that got Hinkley obsessed with Foster, De Niro plotted to assassinate a presidential candidate.) He actually trailed Jimmy Carter around the country for awhile (and was arrested for weapons charges at one point) but gave it up when he ran out of money. Later he managed to shoot Reagan.

And now he's a budding country star. If Foster is not yet impressed, screw her. What does a dude need to do?

I think so, yeah. 450 is a lot of people. I'd say most aspiring artists in any music genre would love to have a solid out audience in a 450 seat venue.

I also think it's kind of shocking that a venue would actually book him.

I don't think anything he's going to do will woo Foster romantically. Or, so I've heard.

In this case, a dude would need some surgery and some hormonal treatments

Stuck up bitch.

The Proles love their shows.

His plan really fell apart when she announced that she was a lesbian.

I’m pretty sure @JamieDimonsBalls has it correct.

That’s some of the boringest shit I’ve ever heard. He could double his music’s enthusiasm by adding one corpuscle of life energy.

I think the antipsychotics put a damper on things.

It might explain some of the posts on here, too.

Lack thereof is more like it.

Did somebody pick "Things No One Ever Says for $1,000"?

I know one of the shrinks who worked with him for years.
