While some found Hinckley's behavior amusing, others were less amused and argued that he should be in prison.

Your mental excuse allowed you to avoid prison, but it is an injustice that you are free to commit this act. This is yet another example of a liberal justice system's poor decision-making.

Hinckley was found not guilty of assassination by reason of insanity and spent more than 30 years in a mental hospital. In 2016, he was conditionally released to his mother's home, but the conditions were dropped in 2022, and he has since been fully free.
