A Brooklyn, New York, concert venue has cancelled an upcoming performance by former president Ronald Reagan’s would-be assassin John Hinckley Jr after the listing allegedly “antagonised” too many people, some of whom were described as “dangerous”.
In a social media post on Wednesday, the Market Hotel said the risk of violence was too much of a “gamble” to allow Hinckley Jr to take the stage. The 67-year-old was recently released from court supervision and had been living in a Virginia community since 2016, having spent the previous several decades in a hospital for mental illness.
