Read "Breaking Points" by Hinckleys Parents to get another perspective of this story. Very sad. We need a population educated on brain illnesses like schizophrenia ...it would certainly help.
If you have schizophrenia, you are not alone.
maga love their schizophrenia .
Hinkley suffered from untreated schizophrenia. Ironically Ronald Reagan is a big reason so many long term psychiatric hospitals closed but Reagon did not pour money into alternatives as Kennedy had planned before his murder...therefore we now have no help for people like Hinkley unless they have aware educated parents or get into serious trouble with the law. Untreated, many people with brain illnesses can become delusional and hallucinating and eventually tricked into taking drugs and then become chronically homeless cause no one in society is looking out for them and there are not enough people going into psychiatry or careers to treat them as its usually low paying. Usually only people with someone close to them who gets schizophrenia ends up going into psychiatry field.
Why are you bringing Ronald Reagan into this? Are you really so dumb to blame everything bad in this country to Ronald Reagan? Stop watching news channels and get real. Your knowledge of politics and history is trash!
Even the serious trouble won’t help the law is into PUNISHING not rehabilitation
Oh, it's worse than that, Jimmy Carter had it all sorted out with outpatient support and outreach in the works and had secured full funding for it. One of the first things Reagan did when he got in office was to scrap the whole thing. Here are some fun numbers for you... 1955 The total U.S. population was 161,136,449. With 560,000 psychiatric beds Now:The total U.S. population is 327,200,000. The U.S. now has 37,679 state psychiatric beds, that's for the whole country! They have made it almost impossible to force someone in to a hospital, and the ones that need the help the most are unable see they have a problem because their brain is literally not working right. And the ones that aren't as bad off may want to get into a hospital but are unable to find space available. I've worked at a homeless shelter for 8 years and plenty of times it too bad for us to keep them and the cops are the ones that dumped them on us. Example: One lady would get up 7-9 or more at night, get in people's faces, and full-volume yell about the devil being in her butt! Or the lady who tries to say other people's young children are her and we had to block the door because she tried to take a baby. Clearly if we have any moms with kids younger than a teenager I can't take a chance with her.
Really is sad - it is a vulnerable segment of society that isn't great at advocating for themself - they get left behind then everyone wants to complain about a delusional person doing a crime or all the homeless people. Often there is some hand holding and investment required, but with the appropriate help a lot of these people can live decent lives and be contributing members of society. Guess my point is, the same people who are the first to complain and want to punish these people are the exact same people that refuse to part with a penney for social services. They come from a good family, have normal mental health and are doing well - anyone who isn't doing as well as them simply needs to pull themselves up by the boot straps. What these fiscal conservatives don't understand is that an once of prevention is worth a pound of cure - some basic support and healthcare costs a fraction of incarceratring these people.
I remember being a child coming home from school my Mom was watching the aftermath of this on the news. 😢
Same, I was in first grade, and I remember asking why Tim McCarthy would be a human shield, after she explained he swore to do that I thought it was the bravest thing I had ever seen.
Same here. My grandmother was watching and she told me as I was walking in the door from junior high school. I wanted to scream "the President has been shot", but didn't. I was in 7th grade at the time

I remember Reagan saying Lets Make America Great Again. It never trickled down.
It did. That's why he got reelected.
@@specialagentorange4329😂 that was deficit exploding spending.
You get Trickle Up Poverty with Democrats. It's not good and hurts the middle class.

It sure did for my family.
Why would he think Foster would be impressed for him shooting Reagan,?
"Taxi Driver"
Because he was insane. And his insane fantasy for Jodie Foster was triggered by that movie. She's lucky he never got close to her, or she could have easily been killed. I never voted for Reagan. But I am glad his life was saved by his security team and the doctors in the GW Hospital. Reagan died a sad death from dementia, but he did live a long life thanks to quick thinking and quick action. May he rest in peace.

@@michaelcelani8325wanna get political? comment on another video. Whinning isn’t gonna change history
I was a schoolboy in Europe when the Reagan shooting occured. All TV channels were reporting this assassination, it just blewed my mind.
Back in the 80's it was said that even if you hate Reagen you must admit that you like him a little. Nobody wanted him dead.
Reagan is the main reasons why we have a homeless and immigration problem. We are suffering from Reagan's policies
Why cnn are showing stupid things when Israel’s bombing children inside Gaza ?

When America-last democrat politicians OVERPOPULATE the states with ILLEGAL ALIENS . . housing costs and rents SKYROCKET . . due to THE LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND = too many people + not enough housing = higher rents for everyone
Let’s never forget that Ronnie was selling missiles to the very same Islamic radicals a few years later. 😢
Never forget all the money that the wicked who stand up on the platform of eternal damnation which is the Democratic platform gave billions of dollars to the terrorists funding regime. Look in the mirror you're guilty in the eyes of God Jesus Christ is your lost souls only hope
Let's never forget, that President Reagan was nearly killed, when he was shot by the man who attempted to assassinate him. I was much too young to vote for President Reagan, but if I could vote, I would have voted for Carter and Mondale. Nonetheless, I would never refer to Mr. Reagan as "Ronnie." It is cheeky and childish.
Reagan was selling missiles to Hinckley in prison?? Also, Hinckley converted to Islam?
@@PopulismIsForBottomFeedersis Hinkley more than one person? Was he involved in Iran Contra too? Hint - 3:20.
Don't be ridiculous. Reagan was too busy with his responsibilities as President. Nancy Reagan was selling missiles to Hinckley in prison. She was also calling strangers for eight hours a day, attempting to sell solar panels for the houses. She was an over-achiever.@@PopulismIsForBottomFeeders

Reagan was an actor. We are still suffering the results of his voodoo economics and unfunded big government spending.
Nobody cares about your fake story😂😂😂
So the guy was released in 2022?Damn.
What else is on?
I will say this. Reagan really recovered. Dude was a man.
Reagan was SHIT.
And a criminal.
Was he convicted of a crime? No. He was not. @@williamshaw5388
No, not so much. Duders were gun running and drug peddling while the Gipper was just clocking in at 10 and clocking out at 6, there was no hand on the wheel whatsoever. China really raped his ass when Reagan visited them and forked over U.S. Manufacturing to them during their summit in '83. Reagan could sure deliver his lines from the prompter but man if he wasn't such a good actor people would've noticed that: "well, he don't know how to do shit" a whole lot sooner.

I played sick from school that day. 8th grade. Was watching TV with my mom and this breaks in. Remember it like it was yesterday. Scary day. And Hinckley was doing it for someone who would never be interested in a man.
Hinckley damn near invented the photobomb.
“Rawhide down!” After a couple days of 24/7 coverage, we could all reenact this. 12/80 Lennon, 3/81 Reagan, 5/81 the Pope. Yikes.
Republicans' "fix" to the economy since the '80s, has been "trickle-down," which is where you make rich people much richer on the promise that they will suddenly become very nice and give people who are not-rich, more money. Tell me how that's worked out for us so far? Every vote for a republican on the issue of the economy for the past 40 years, by anybody making less than a million a year, has been a shotgun blast right in their own foot. But they keep doing it.
You are correct on that comment! Regan was a puppet.
Truer words have never been spoken. Happy new year brother!!
Stop pretending it was just "republicans" getting rich. Especially now, when vuirtually every corporation is pushing a democrat platform. They're the wealthiest people on the continent. Trickle down vs outsourcing... That's the choice that no one makes or votes for. That's decided between politicians and corporate. Both aisles, before any election cycle.

32:04 Good thing they were able to find stock footage of an XB-52, which never went into service... apparently nobody took any stock footage since June 29, 1955 when B-52B Number 52-8711 became operational,
The silver looks better.
Economy musta been booming. This looser was able to travel EVERYWHERE on a whim to follow his targets. Not to mention purchasing 2 guns with ease. The 70s were awesome

Donald Trump -Marjoltadultery Toilet Grangrene 2028!
I think the greater point trying to be made here was the risk involved with no one in actual charge of the country for a short (way too long time lapse). With this, it means, do not let any clowns running the country because, that is serious business. Donald Trump -Marjoltadultery Toilet Grangrene 2028! Chuckle chuckle
The principal point of the video here, in its whole is, "never never vote in a government that does not know what they are doing in a period of crisis. This could have turned out way worse. Way way worse. The job is NOT for clowns.
Good documentary.
I remember that day it was on TV all over the place I was 12 now 54 watching this I fell old
I was gonna say damn that practice paid off.. 🤦🏼♂️ but a ricochet c’mon but my forever all time fav Regan moment was *bang* “..missed me” 🤣🤣 classic
That's a pretty sick comment. Let me guess you're a Democrat. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. But it sounds like there wasn't very much rattling around in your head to waste to begin with.. just saying
Hinckley was incompetent. Too bad we can't go back in time and switch Hinckley with Chapman.
Reagan was better than Thrunp. When Reagan was president, there was free cheese.
Trump wouldn't have been able to be elected back in 1980 cause right wing media wasn't in the place where it is now to create the alternative reality for millions of Americans, and the Republican party wasn't radical yet so they wouldn't have allowed it.
For Jodie Foster's sake, Hinckley should never be free.
well he is. So far he is much better and even has a youtubr channel
Jerry Parr thought he was bouta lose his job. Lol
Great article!!
“MR WHEAT!”
While his actions towards Jodie Foster were traumatizing enough for anyone to go through at least he didn’t decide to kidnap her, much easier than murder a president, wasn’t he so delusional and just obsessed he probably would have gone for the easier option.
แก้ไขให้หน่อยครับ
Even my sister it seems them thief and holding hostage as an impression who are them what do they do to stop the law agencies from defeating them as of now ?
If I speak I am in big trouble
Didnt u just speak
What's stunning about this documentary is just how close Hinckley got to Reagan WITH A GUN, repeatedly before March 1981. Like, including Inauguration Day, December 1980 -- it's just nuts!
Funny thing about John Lynch, he manufactured meth right next door to my grandfather's house. He was charged and went to prison, likely not in this case but he used to talk about setting lots of people up.
Can't believe they let Hinckley out.
What purpose would be served otherwise? Is he going to shoot Reagan again?
@@disorganizedorg Maybe somebody else? Duh.
@@09rja Do you have reason to believe that he has or had any ill-will toward anyone other than Reagan in the context of his mental illness?
@@disorganizedorg As far as I know, he really didn't have any ill-will towards Reagan. This whole thing was to impress Jodie Foster. He was stalking President Carter before Reagan. So ill-will isn't the question here......the question is: what else might he try to impress Foster? If the shrinks are convinced he isn't a danger.....I guess we have to trust him. But common sense makes me wonder if this joker should be on the streets. Hopefully he is done trying to impress Foster.
He is considered the model case for this type of release. It's done in stages.
Imagine that 😮 a republican who doesn't know the constitution. Not even something as basic as who's in charge in the event of a catastrophe.

Why couldn’t they teach this with this type of documentary
Read "Breaking Points" by Jack & Jo Ann Hinckley written in 1985. I think that's a much better perspective than this CNN show...
I wonder if the reason Hinkley looks so ticked off, is because he found out Jodie Foster is a lesbian? Talk about someone barking up the wrong tree.
I wasn’t even born
Imagine if the Republican party emulated the values of Ronald Reagan and Abraham Lincoln simultaneously? What a trip.
imagine if you werent a tool and realized that Reagan promoted less government spending, and the Democrats literally spend more on government than anyone else. L take buddy
And Teddy Roosevelt
kzhead.infomgx7cVN2-Yw
No one of zees people reading dees thread know in which state the Republican party was started in. ?
Oxymoron essentially since Reagan was the opposite of Lincoln in how they viewed the role of government in society.
I grew up on the street he lived on in Evergreen. Crazy. Willie Nelson and Farrah Faucett lived there, too. Beautiful place.
Just to think this dude lives in my state. I hope on some kinda house arrest 😢😮
Today 43 years ago, was the day he was shot
Here's the thing, I never shot Regan. Unless Regan was in the front or back yard in Grove City, Unless he was shot with a BB from a BB gun, I do recall taking out a bird, then it wasn't me. I had no car, I had two bicycles one I built from parts found in trashes. So I never shot Regan and that bird was laughing at me..
“I also noticed there were some shots fired from an overhang on a sidewalk above where the Presidents car was.” -Judy Woodruff reporting for NBC News immediately after the shooting and never mentioned again.
....beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeecause of all the videos from multiple angles that were released by the many outlets present showing the showing the shooting coming from the crowd and nowhere else.
@@PopulismIsForBottomFeeders But no one is even looking toward Hinkley when he is shooting right in front of them. Everyone is looking off to Hinkley’s left. Everyone. Also the angle of the bullet that hit Reagan was a 45 degree angle back to left to right wound. No ricochet of any of Hinkley’s bullets could have possible done this. Unless Hinkley fired high to the wall to his right and for it to miraculously ricochet back down at a 45 degree angle in to Reagan. I don’t think anyone witnessed that though.
Because eye witness testimony is notoriously unreliable. Let me guess, you think Hinkley was a patsy? The real shooter is still out there?😂
@@user-em1dw3ft6m Hinkley used a cheap .22 pistol with tiny .22 cartridges. The bullets pulled out of Reagan were .22 that matched the pistol. A second shooter would have had to have used the same .22 calibre, right? What are the chances of that?
@@zx7-rr486 The “bullet” was revealed to be a flat dime like disc. William Colby the head of the CIA in 1975 showed a weapon that fired darts or fleshettes fired by a weapon charged by battery and modeled after the Army’s Colt semi-automatic pistol.
ThTs scary
Jimmy Carter freed the hostages
He needs more credit for his deals to free the hostages. They only freed them under Reagan because they hated Carter.
As mentioned in the video, the Iranians HATED Carter and wouldn’t have let them go until Carter was gone. So no, Carter didn’t do anything for them but leave the White House.
[yawn]

Referring to the hostage crisis? Republicans revealed they sabotaged negotiations to help Reagan win the election.

I know it was probably a joke but...imagine asking if the doctors were republican....why is America so partisan
They are stupid brainwashed
America is partisan because of how our political system works as a dual-party system. Washington warned us about this. It's just that it was only with the rise of the modern conservative movement where they really started to develop it and define themselves as opposition to Democrats at all costs. Nute Gingritch really began that style, but the seeds were already being sewn.
I'm lost he can go on vacation to see his mother in a resort and then go back to prison????? 👴🏽🇺🇲🇺🇲
Technically, I don't think he was in prison, because he was never convicted of a crime. He was in a mental hospital, with armed guards.
@mikejewpants4099 thanks for the information 👍🏽
There was a public outcry after the jury returned a not-guilty verdict. Consequently, the laws were changed (in both federal court and many state courts.). Today, it is nearly impossible for a person to pursue an insanity defense, even if the person is plainly insane. Thanks for Mr. Hinkley, there are thousands of crazy people sitting in prisons, when they should be in mental hospitals. @@vernonholsey1449

I’ve only got half way through this… I was 10 when this happened…. I always wondered about where Hinkley’s fixation with Jodie Foster came from… Also the other thing I remember is about Jim Brady and the Brady Bill… that hasn’t been mentioned yet…
It was mentioned in another documentary. Hinckley was obsessed with Jodi from the movie "Taxi Driver". Where Jodi was 14 or 16 at the time, playing the role of a 12 year old prostitute. He reportedly watched the movie over 15 times. The plot of the movie is actually Robert De Niro, playing a loner taxi cab driver who dreams of "saving the world" and cleaning up the city. So he plots to take out the Presidential candidate, and then he becomes obsessed with Jodi Foster in the movie. Hinckley was basically playing out the movie, but in real life.
@@naturalselection1096 So Hinkley was a taxi driver, as well as mentally disturbed..right? Apparently he’s out of jail now too… and so sorry…
Buffalo nu
He’s out of prison now 🤔Jodi, quick! Say you’re a Trump supporter!
I'm pretty sure it happened (video footage shows it occured) but if CNN is doing a special on it then I have to be skeptical and question that this assassination attempt ever happened.
I understand your reasoning for questioning whether it happened or not considering the sources but in this "one" case even CNN got most of it right. This was CNN long before TDS.
CNN isn't as inaccurate as many want to believe. They are just one of the main punching bags of the right-wing. Rupert Murdoch really hated CNN, and so when Fox News started they attacked it a lot.

Poor Jodi.
John Hinkley certainly was a victim of mental illness. What he did was horrific and he served his sentence as he should. John went into remission and eventually was granted weekends to stay with his mom. Of course eventually Hinkley was set free and is monitored by mental health experts as a condition of his parole. Anyone wanting to see John Hinkley can look him up on KZhead as he play’s the acoustic guitar and performs cover’s as well as songs he written. This generates an income stream for John and he has many supporters. His new found freedom is controversial but he seems to have made a lot of progress and for that I wish him well.
