Was the Reagan shooting a gov't conspiracy?
Since this was mentioned today, I’d thought I’d see what people's thought are about this here (I’m sure I can guess).
Here’s a couple little snippets:

And the bullet trajectory you are probably not aware of (yes, it was supposedly Hinckley’s very last shot that ricocheted 90deg around the limo’s door to hit Reagan in his left armpit while his arms were being pinned down by his Secret Service agent): ![]() You can view the rest of the evidence here: http://killtown.911review.org/assass...ns/reagan.html . |

I've never heard of the idea that Reagan's shooting could have been an inside job. Is there any evidence for that?

The anti-gun freaks? Brady did , once he could, speak out against handguns!
Not buying that for a dollar, though. |

I wonder how many of you who already voted "no" reviewed all the evidence on my website? Gee, let me guess.

If true, it's kind of an interesting story. At best, someone in Hinkley's family knew someone in George Bush's family. At worst, the Bush family found a crazy person to shoot Ronald Reagan. However, there's not even a hint of a government conspiracy in those stories.

You are a stupid idiot. Honestly, the fact that you would put so much work into something so ridiculous truly enlightens me to the naivette surrounding the Conspiracy Theory population. You deserve to be beheaded by a terrorist to wake your stupid ass up to reality.

Your cartoon has convinced me. Larry Flynt did it at the behest of George H. W. Bush and Tip O'Neill.

Oh there's plenty out there. In fact, several months ago I was 'introduced' to the website of another whacked out individual, this one with an unhealthy obsession with bill clinton. http://www.alamo-girl.com/ She's a doozy! lol |

So what? He was also an ex-Navy pilot. By your logic, the Navy tried to kill Ronald Reagan. You are better offl accusing Al Haig of trying to kill Reagan, since he's the one who claimed 'to be in control' after Reagan was shot. At the time, a lot of people thought it was suspicious. Besides, if Bush Sr. was behind it, he would have made sure to be in Washington to take over from Reagan.
You need to show that Bush's evil plot involved some cooperation from the US government for this to qualify as a government conspiracy. So far, you have the Hinkley family, who have no government ties whatsoever. It's a very poor attempt at a government conspiracy, even by conspiracy theorists standards. |

After extensive consideration of the material on Killtown's website, I've come to the obvious conclusion:
![]() Bonzo did it... to impress Jody Foster. |

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the #1 reason why George H. Bush could not have ordered the assassination. He was too much of a wimp!

Here's the conspiracy theory. I'm not saying I believe in it, but I do know many Conspiracy theories. So don't chop off my head. Ronald Reagan was shot so George HW Bush could become President -- to achieve goals re the New World Order. Fortunately, it didn't work. A photo exists of a guy crouching down on a screened-in terrace to Hinckley's right and up a flight. He was shooting too. I hope I can locate the picture. It doesn't matter to the oil barons who else gets killed. I feel so sorry for the others who were shot. That's the theory as to why. It was a serious attempt on his life with the neurotic patsy found shooting nearby.
Dick Gregory maintains that they took a mentally ill man who was in love with a movie star, have him shoot a President who was an actor on Academy Awards Day. Just reporting. kc440 |
