Erotomania
Perhaps some more information on this is needed. Am I right in thinking that the erotomaniac already believes that there is some sort of, perhaps secret, relationship between himself and the person on whom he is fixated, often "proved" to him by delusions of reference, so to speak? And if Jody Foster was already in love with him, why the need for the grand gesture of killing Reagan? Was it erotomania or simply a misestimation of Foster's reaction? How did Hinckley believe Foster felt about him at the time and how do we separate this from the known fact that men accused or convicted of the most appalling murders do receive feminine fan-mail in the clink? --Daniel C.

Assasin?
Hinckley wasn't a successful assassin, but I think he should be added to Category:Assassins. Agree? -- InterruptorJones 23:01, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
