Cancelled: Hotel Reluctantly Kills Brooklyn Concert by Reagan’s Attempted Assassin John Hinckley Jr

Share

John Hinckley Jr will not be warbling love songs at the Market Hotel in Brooklyn on July 8th.

The hotel has cancelled the Hinckley show. I was among the first to report the booking back in April.

Market Hotel posted a long explanation. They didn’t want to cancel but felt pressured to from customers. Come on, are you kidding? This man ruined James Brady’s life, altered his family’s. and tried to assassinate the President of the United States.

The Hotel says it thought this might be an “interesting” booking. That’s one word for it.

Maybe they can bring in Squeaky Fromme to sing Beatles songs instead.
