John Hinckley Jr., who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in 1981 and was later released in 2022, has made a social media post condemning violence in light of the recent attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Hinckley, known for his past actions, expressed a new stance advocating for peace and pursuing a music career. His history of mental health issues and obsession with actress Jodie Foster, as seen in the movie Taxi Driver, remains part of his narrative. Despite some skepticism and irony in responses to his post, Hinckley's message of peace stands out amidst his troubled past and current endeavors in music and painting.
