Criminologist Goes Off Script on CNN, States Kirk Shooting Suspect’s Hate for Christians was the Driving Motive Behind the Murder

BONN: “At some level, Laura, I believe that he is proud of what he did. And this is something that had been planned for quite a while, I’m sure. And while we don’t know the specific motive, I can almost guarantee you it’s rooted in rage in some way, and it’s highly specific. And I think Charlie Kirk represented something both personal to him, as well as symbolic, and he was striking out at things that he had grown to hate and resent, and I’m talking about Christian conservativism and gun ownership. And so at some level, I think he was actually taking recognition, saying, ‘Yes, I did this,’ and, at some level, taken some pride in it.”
