    Dude is fascinating and I can see him genuinely thinking that.

    He was a mentally ill fail son to a wealthy oil family, who mistreated him and sent him away to both dodgy MKUltra linked hospitals and just paid him to do the bohemian thing and stay away as an embarrassment.

    His family also happened to be extremely close contacts with the Bush family, knowing them from the oil business, living in the same small town at one point, being big donors to both Poppy and W’s campaigns, and also being associated with the CIA front World Vision that was a big Bush initiative.

    When he was previously caught by airport security with three guns arriving on the same day and similar time as Carter (another guy hated by Bush) they just let him go, supposedly without even running a background check.

    Obviously, if he’d got Reagan, Poppy would have become President as his VP.

    But the other weird interplay is that Neil Bush had been staying at the Hinkley’s house, while John Jr was there, before the assassination attempt and was going to meeting another member of thr Hinkley family for dinner the day afterwards - allegedly to try and smooth over or help out with the news that Reagan’s admin was allowing the state to bring a $2m fine against the Hinkley’s oil company.

    And there’s a whole load other bizarre facts that link Hinkley, the Bushes, the CIA, and the MKUltra fuckery in hospitals like St Elizabeth - where Hinkley was later sent.

      If he wasn’t mentally ill or a failson, I would say it’s just another conspiracy theory, but I can definitely see these ghouls take advantage of someone they consider an embarrassment. If he succeeds, then everyone celebrates a job well done between friends. And if he fails, there’s a risk the embarrassment becomes shown to the world, but in this case, it seems pretty contained as no one really gives a shit about the assassination attempt, Hinckley, or his family.

    He only shot Ronnie so he could have sex with a child. He just happened to shoot a bad guy.

      He needed mental health treatment over the infatuation, not shooting Reagan.

      He exchanged letters with Ted Bundy while in jail which are pretty crazy reads. And he tried to contact Charles Manson

        Yeah, he wasn’t in an amazing state. If he hadn’t managed to shoot Reagan he’d likely have just shot someone else, including Jodie Foster. The line between stalkers being willing to commit violence to impress their victim and stalkers being willing to commit violence to control their victim is basically nonexistent.

    Seems like he’s talking to prospective president killers here, which I suppose is reasonable. He knows failing to kill a president is the worst mistake of your life.

    imagine talking about a failed assassin as a failed assassin lmao ratio

    fr tho, media commentary by actual assassins would be so funny and onion-esque.

    like imagine talking about the assassination attempt on Trump and then interviewing a hitman right after lmao

        Hexbear Comrade @GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net is right. To be slightly fair and to date myself I listened to this in high school and only barely remember the title of the album. It’s also crazy to think this dude was a pioneer in the internet rap phase. It’s crazy to think Bandcamp and Soundcloud rappers exist because this dude was rappin’ over the most doo-doo beats with even worse bars.
