John Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity at a 1982 jury trial.

That verdict prompted Congress and some U.S. states to adopt laws limiting use of the insanity defense.


Nice one OP, quite detailed. RIP to the secret service guy who took the bullet that could have killed Reagan, he died on the spot.

Boucher na friend to thatcher and Reagan,
Boucher na friends to some other world leaders too.
And together dem won dash us human right

Ask questions and learn.
Botha not Boucher

Pieter Botha was the Apartheid South African Prime Minister and then President at the time!!

"This uprising will bring out the beast in us" in the song is actually from Botha's speech in 1985 when they received global sanctions.

That's the thing, they don't have tribes over there,
which is why the case could be looked at objectively on its own merit. Here, all sorts of ugly repercussions would have arisen due to the actions of just one man. Lets do away with tribes in Africa and see if we won't progress. Instead of saying lets stop tribalism, how about just abolishing tribes? This is the secret the western world isn't telling you cos they know you want to protect a meaningless identity at all costs

Over "There" is where, really? The USA, the entire West or all countries with fair skinned people?

While I very well understand the point you're trying to make, it's necessary to clarify the above so that the not too informed won't get carried away.

Every country in the world have their demographics be it ethnicity, race, gender etc and there are bigots everywhere based on this things.

Reagan suffered a punctured lung in the assassination attempt.


White House press secretary James Brady lies wounded on the sidewalk outside a Washington hotel after being shot during an assassination attempt on U.S. President Ronald Reagan, Monday, March 30, 1981.

In the background secret service agents and police wrestle the alleged assailant to the ground.

TOPCRUISE:
So Reason of insanity for comitting murder like this was allowed for in the USA. And was removed as defense in court because a murder attempt was made against the President of USA. If it did not happen the law will still stand today. And if this incident happened against other unfortunate world leaders those countries will be tagged lawless by the US if they sentence the attempted murderers to death

What are talking about? Reason of insanity is still a defense against murder in US. This had no impact on it at all
