   Shades of Obama's economic incompetence.  Flash forward to Joe   
   Biden in 2022.  The stench of Obama is everywhere.   
      
   NEW YORK — A planned concert by John Hinckley Jr., who shot and   
   wounded President Ronald Reagan in 1981, has been canceled even   
   as Hinckley was freed from federal court oversight, the New York   
   City venue that had booked the performance announced.   
      
   The Market Hotel in Brooklyn cited “very real and worsening   
   threats and hate” in its announcement on social media Wednesday   
   that it was canceling the July 8 concert.   
      
   A show scheduled for Chicago at the Logan Center on July 23 was   
   canceled weeks ago.   
      
   The now 67-year-old Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of   
   insanity in the March 30, 1981, shooting of Reagan in Washington.   
      
   Reagan was seriously wounded in the assassination attempt, and   
   his press secretary, James Brady, was permanently disabled.   
      
   Brady went on to campaign for gun safety legislation until his   
   death in 2014. The Brady Bill that passed in 1993 required a   
   five-day waiting period for handgun purchases and background   
   checks of prospective buyers, and the Brady Campaign to Prevent   
   Gun Violence and the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence are   
   named after Brady and his wife, Sarah.   
      
   Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy and Washington police   
   Officer Thomas Delahanty were also wounded in the shooting,   
   which was motivated by Hinckley’s obsession with the actor Jodie   
   Foster.   
      
   Hinckley spent decades in a psychiatric hospital before being   
   released to live with his mother in 2016. He was freed from   
   court oversight as of Wednesday, writing on Twitter, “After 41   
   years 2 months and 15 days, FREEDOM AT LAST!!!”   
      
   In recent years, Hinckley has released songs on Spotify and   
   posted videos of himself singing and playing a guitar on YouTube.   
      
   Several public performances had been planned following   
   Hinckley’s release from court supervision, but venues in Chicago   
   and in Hamden, Connecticut, had already canceled Hinckley   
   appearances when the Market Hotel announced that the concert it   
   had scheduled would not take place.   
      
   “There was a time when a place could host a thing like this,   
   maybe a little offensive, and the reaction would be, ‘It’s just   
   a guy playing a show, who does it hurt — it’s a free country,’”   
   the Market Hotel said on Instagram. “We aren’t living in that   
   kind of free country anymore, for better or for worse.”   
      
   Hinckley tweeted Thursday that his promoter was looking for   
   another venue.
