Man Who Shot George Wallace Released
HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) — The man who shot and paralyzed Alabama Gov. George Wallace in 1972 was released from prison Friday after serving 35 years of his sentence, a Maryland prison system spokesman said.
Arthur H. Bremer, 57, left the prison before sunrise, said spokesman Mark A. Vernarelli.
Wallace, a fiery segregationist during the 1960s, was wounded on May 15, 1972, during a campaign stop in Laurel, Md. He abandoned his bid for the Democratic nomination and spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
Bremer, a former Milwaukee busboy and janitor, was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to 53 years. He had been held at the medium-security Maryland Correctional Institution near Hagerstown, about 70 miles from Baltimore, since 1979.

Bremer was nuts. Can’t see how jail changed him to something better. Hagerstown is a shitty place. There’s no such thing as rehab in Hagerstown. I think the system let out another phreak to prey on society.
