He Thought She'd Understand: John Hinckley and How Stalkers Think

The Hang Theory, a lecture series by Hang Dallas: one speaker, one big idea, one good room.

John Hinckley shot a president to impress an actress he had never met. In his mind, the relationship was already real. Dr. Timothy Ingram, a clinical forensic psychologist who takes court appointments in criminal cases across seven East Texas counties, examines how stalkers build belief systems in which connection and obligation exist long before any contact. He walks through the recognized types of stalking behavior, how unwanted attention escalates into a credible threat, and why early warning signs are so often misread by victims and bystanders alike.

Doors at 6:00 PM. The talk starts at 7:00 PM, followed by audience questions and time to meet the speaker. Out by 8:00 PM.

Tickets: $35
