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.
