RE: hinckley not guilty		(typo corrected)

Two of the jurors stated to the media that they truly felt that hinckley
was guilty and not insane, but they wanted to go home and were swayed 
by the other jurors, so they agreed to the not guilty verdict.

At least one other juror stated that s/he could not understand the 
poetry that hinckley wrote.  Well there are one helluva lot of poems
floating around out there that are not understandable; are those authors
insane?  Is Shakespeare insane?  Is Allan Ginsberg insane?

hinckley's parents and (I'm sure well-paid) lawyers claim that they will
not seek his release until he is deemed harmless.  I know what will make
him harmless...a lobotomy...via Smith&Wesson...

WHERE IS JACK RUBY WHEN HE'S NEEDED?

Pardon my flame.  The lower-case h is intended as a sign of disrespect.
