John Hinckley Jr, the man who tried to assassinate US President Ronald Reagan, is to be released from a psychiatric hospital next month after 35 years.

Mr Reagan and three others were injured in the shooting outside a hotel in Washington in March 1981.

Mr Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity but was sent for treatment to a Washington hospital.

    “Dragon kind was no less cruel than mankind. The Dragon, at least, acted from bestial need rather than bestial greed.” ― Anne McCaffrey, Dragonflight

    Oh I'm sorry, I thought we were quoting from fantasy books.
