Robbie Hawkins felt abandoned by his birth parents and hated his step mother because he thinks she was the reason for his parents not getting back together. Robbie sets upon a destructive path at an early age. From the age of 4 he was institutionalized because his parents "didn't know how to deal with him." Part 1 takes you through his childhood and tries to explain why this 19 year old imploded and became the Westroads Mall Shooter at the age of 19.
It is broken down into a 2 part series because of the length but both part 1 and part 2 have been uploaded at the same time so you don't have to wait for the ending.
