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.

It really is a sad state of affairs when almost everyone hates BOTH of the presidential candidates.
Almost everybody on the internet. We get a bit of a skewed perspective here on the tubes. The 16 million [realclearpolitics.com] Democrats that voted Clinton in the primaries (compared to Sanders' 12) clearly don't hate Clinton.
