He is, of course, John Hinckley. You may recall from your Grade 11 history class that he was the fool who shot President Ronald Reagan in the hope that that act would propel Jodie Foster into his arms.
Not only deranged, Mr. Hinckley was also a bad shot. Instead of killing the Prez he just hurt him a bit. For his trouble Mr. Hinckley has been locked up for close to the last 30 years.
Not even a phone call or a note from Miss Foster. On the day he shot the sitting President. Mr. Hinckley left a 2-page handwritten letter addressed to the actress behind in his hotel room. In the note he asked her "...to please look into your heart and at least give me the chance, with this historic deed, to gain your respect and love." If flowers don't work...
He is in the news now coz he is getting closer to getting out. And that disturbs many.
