Talk:Reagan assassination attempt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Added some info on Hinckley's motivation for the assassination attempt, ie his obsession with Jodie Foster and the movie Taxi Driver. My rain face 21:28, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I think many viewers would like links to video-sources of the event to really see the kaos that erupted and the speed Reagan was rushed away with. 10:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC)Zarkow

[edit] Discharge?

When did he recover and act as the POTUS again in the hospital?

When did he walk out the hospital? -- Toytoy 04:50, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The inevitable conspiracy theory

I added it in under the section about Al Haig, since it seemed to follow on in natural sequence. (So far, no one has pointed out the umbrella visible in the photo, but that can only be a matter of time ... :¬) Garrick92 14:56, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

This should be removed as it links to a home made website as its citation...not exactly reliable Macutty 18:49, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Himmler connection

Hinckley is also the grand-nephew of former Gestapo head Heinrich Himmler, and is thought to have been used as a pawn by a network of ex-Nazis seeking revenge on Reagan for his WWII espionage.

I removed this sentence, feeling that such a bold statement needs to be verified to warrant inclusion. Nufy8 00:10, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

The reference provided by the anon redirects to the History Channel's Web site and, more specifically, to its video gallery. I searched for audio and video related to Hinckley, Himmler, and the Reagan assassination attempt, and found nothing that spoke of a connection between the Gestapo head and this would-be assassin. If there's something I'm missing, please point it out. I'm reverting the addition for now. Nufy8 03:57, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
