You're both trying to ascribe a rational motive and describe the shooter as profoundly mentally ill. You simply cannot have both.

John Hinckley was suffering from so many different severe mental illnesses at the time of his crime that his ability to exist in every day reality was completely gone. His motive was entirely irrelevant other than the fact that it was sensationalized by the media because it involved the President and Jodie Foster. He is also probably the biggest success story of mental health treatment in history. 

I'm not saying Tyler Robinson isn't suffering from some kind of mental illness, he likely was radicalized in some way by being part of some chronically online circles, and it is highly unlikely he could be rehabilitated enough to rejoin society.

I don't think the comparison you're making is apt beyond the crimes being of similar nature.

I’m not giving the shooter a pass. He deserves to be in jail for life. But I was trying to say his motive may have been intimately personal. He may have done this merely to impress his girlfriend who wasn’t all that into him. That may not be his motive. I don’t see him as some hired mercenary either or a paid patsy like some people are suggesting he is on X. He doesn’t deserve to be free. He has proven that. No matter what motivated him to do this and no matter what’s going on in his grapefruit. 
 

I am also not doing that whole “well the guy is white so he must be mentally ill” bullshit. Clearly his shit ain’t right but it doesn’t rise to the level of anything other than he deserves to rot behind bars. Cuz he does deserve to rot behind bars. I’m not excusing him. I’m just not into the whole “his motivation is X” and so that vindicates a political group saying that kind of thing. If any of what I wrote makes sense. I’m trying the best I can to express he is in fact guilty, his motives matter but proof that he is the sole perpetrator is in fact necessary bc people are saying he didn’t do this which is repulsive. He deserves to rot.

This is just further proof that Lionel Richie should sue for that bust done of him in the music video “Hello.”

I'm not sure murdering someone to impress your girlfriend is a rational motive. 

Rationality is relative and entirely dependent on context. An action that is seen as crazy and/or awful by most of us is still rational to the person that took the action if they arrived at that point via a line of reasoning, even if that reasoning is deeply flawed/incorrect.

My point was that John Hinckley arrived at the conclusion that he must shoot and kill Ronald Reagan irrationally because his mind was completely disconnected from reality and he was unable to follow a line of reasoning to any conclusion. Until it's proven otherwise, and it's very unlikely that it will, it seems that Tyler Robinson likely arrived at the conclusion that he must shoot and kill Charlie Kirk rationally, even though his line of reasoning is, of course, wrong and bad.

There are plenty of examples of this kind of phenomenon out there, and it extends beyond the individual. Look at how countries like Iran or North Korea behave in certain instances. To outsiders, some of the things they do seem completely out of pocket, but from their perspective what they are doing is completely rational.

I often wonder if the Treaty Oak killer still has feelings for his methadone clinic counselor as the tree didn’t completely die.

We do not even know if charlie was shot nor where he was shot from.   You people fall for this same dog and pony show every single time,

 

Candace Owens is hot but has those Wide eyes like she is either retarded(no offense) or prey.   Candance just wanted a rich white guy to trap into family life - nothing more than that.  She is dumb and simple and Christian.

I don't know, man. I'm pretty sure he was fucking shot in the neck. CGI hasn't gotten that good yet.
