Your page is too long because you pasted the same paragraphs twice.

Also, you're missing all of the information about John Hinkley's long history of mental illness, his letters to Jodie Foster, or his obsession with the movie "Taxi Driver" and Lee Harvey Oswald? You aren't trying to hide the fact that Hinkley was crazy and obsessed with assassinating a president, are you?

Why would he apologize to the woman who attempted to kill Ronald Reagan? And remember what Lynnette "Squeaky" McClatchey did to Ford? There's bad blood in that family, my friend, bad blood.

Oh, BS. I was looking for any evidence on your page, and have not seen any. In spite of having little or (more likely) no evidence, it's still dozens of pages long. If you think you have any evidence, let's just see what it is without all the numerology crap.

This is a HEADLINE on Killtown's Reagan "evidence" page:
Quote:
Was it just a coincidence that Reagan was 70 yrs old and shot at on his 70th day in office?
Killtown, why haven't you apologized to Val McClatchey, and why do you think that Photoshopped feces on the graves of 9/11 murder victims is "Funny!"?

Just asking questions and demanding answers. You've refused to answer the questions in your other threads, so I'm going to keep asking them wherever you post.

Why would high level government officials need to shoot the President? Considering how everything is prepared for him, why not just poison his food or something?

That keeps it in-house, cleaner, less witnesses to the act, you don't need a gunman to hurdle the Secret Service, etc etc.

True, a couple USSS agents and the coroner in on it, and you're set.

Why did you close this poll? and who was the schmuck that voted yes with you?

But seriously, why close the poll? Getting creamed in the votes too much?

Also, just to let you know, traditionaly there is a "planet X" option in polls. It is a joke choice, and not including one means you have to pay 100 dollars to me.

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.

Even if you find the photo, just because there is a person crouched on the balcony doesn't mean he shot the President. You would have to produce ballistic evidence that the bullet pulled out of the President didn't come from Hinkley's gun.

I have never heard of Dick Gregory. What evidence does he have, beyond speculation?

Aww, c'mon KT -- you know you only do this to get people to visit your crappy web site. But as I said before, if you believe nothing else I ever tell you, believe this: I would no sooner visit your web site than I would one that promotes pedophilia and snuff movies. Because visiting your site would undoubtedly leave me feeling just as unclean.

ETA: Anyone who thinks the Reagan assassination attempt was an inside job is a stark raving lunatic. The man was in his 70's, for crissakes. Killing him would have been as easy as slipping something into his drink and having the coroner say it was a stroke. It could have been done totally in private, involved just a handful of people at most, and at Reagan's age no one would have suspected a thing. Then again, that's always the way with conspiracy theories, isn't it? Why use a hammer to drive in a nail, when you can use a sledgehammer mounted to a rocket being fired off by an F-15?
