| Brooklyn concert venue cancels sold-out John Hinckley Jr. concert |
| 2022-06-17 |
| [NYPOST] Attempted presidential assassin turned musician John Hinckley Jr. is free from court oversight, but not yet free to rock and roll. Hinckley — who attempted to kill President Ronald Reagan in 1981 — was set to perform at a sold-out concert in Brooklyn next month, but the venue where the gig was booked has cancelled the show. Market Hotel, in Bushwick, announced Wednesday that the July 8 event was nixed. "We don’t see the need to allow someone who did something awful to skip the line and play even our middle size independent community stage," the event space said in a statement posted to Instagram. "And in doing so put our vulnerable communities at risk (without their consent) — especially if that artist wouldn’t have sold the tickets without the story of who they are and the Hinckley, 67, shot up Reagan on March 30, 1981 outside the Hilton in Washington, DC. He maimed the 40th president, his press secretary James Brady, police officer Thomas Delahanty and Secret Service agent Tim MCarthy. Reagan recovered from his injuries, but Brady spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair while Delahanty suffered nerve damage.
