Part 8/16:
The Psychological and Planning Aspects of the Shooter
O'Neal offers insights into Robinson's mental state and planning. Based on available evidence, Robinson's writings and communication reveal a calculated, lucid mindset—differentiating him from unhinged or impulsive individuals. His motives seem meticulously crafted, suggesting weeks of planning, fueled by anger at Charlie Kirk and the ideas he represented.
O'Neal also foresees typical legal defenses that may include mental health claims, with psychologists potentially diagnosing disorders attempting to mitigate Robinson's culpability. However, the evidence of planning complicates such defense efforts.
