What's sad is that I mostly remember this because gunman John Hinckley, Jr. supposedly asked, "how's LSU doing in the Final Four?"

LSU had already lost prior to the assassination attempt.
The championship game between UNC and Indiana was held that night.
However, back then there was a 3rd place game that LSU played UVA the same day as the shooting.

That ended up being the last 3rd place game played. They almost cancelled both games because of the shooting.

But did he get to bang Jane Fonda?

I'm in the camp that believes he did.

Yeah. He was trying to impress Jody Foster and thought shooting Reagan was the best way to do it.

Makes sense. Does anyone know if it worked? I'm at a loss as to how to impress Zendaya.

Shame...weren't even around for Ronnie's Reign?
You missed out on a lot...

This one time, during a debate, he says: "Well, there you go again"

It was awesome.

Crazy that I started watching "The Americans" this week and happened to watch the episode where Regan was shot last night. Completely out of the blue.

I used to take all of my smoke breaks during events right on that spot at the Hilton.

I was looking at photos. The guy with the machine gun - seems to big to be concealed. Wonder if any of President Obama's security detail have hidden machine guns?

He's using an Uzi in that photo.
quote:

The United States Secret Service used the Uzi as their standard submachine gun from the 1960s until the early 1990s, when it was phased out and replaced with the Heckler & Koch MP5 and FN P90. When President Ronald Reagan was shot on March 30, 1981 outside of the Washington Hilton Hotel by John Hinckley, Jr., Secret Service Special Agent Robert Wanko pulled an Uzi out of a briefcase and covered the rear of the presidential limousine as it sped to safety with the wounded president inside.[6]

I have always wondered why Joan Quigley didn't warn Nancy that Ronnie was getting shot that day
