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.
He only shot Ronnie so he could have sex with a child. He just happened to shoot a bad guy.
She was 19 when he shot Reagan
she was underage in the movie that he became infatuated with her
He needed mental health treatment over the infatuation, not shooting Reagan.
He shot Reagan as a direct result of his infatuation.
He exchanged letters with Ted Bundy while in jail which are pretty crazy reads. And he tried to contact Charles Manson
