Based upon the Congressional hearings over the assassination attempt on high profile Mr. Trump, NO motive had been discovered yet, even though with the authorities critical & fortunate access to the assassin's handphone.
They can only deduced at this stage that the MOTIVE may had been to gain notoriety.... which may be a psychological motive itself....
It is said that to understand another fellow Human, one needs to walk a thousand miles in his shoes....
With the info gathered so far, he seems an exceptional kid from a small town - intelligent but introverted, with interest in shooting skills, & had some form of bullying in his formative years, but yet worked as an attendant in a social old folks home... SUCH signifies that he may have higher ambitions & potential, but perhaps OPPORTUNITIES are limited in the small town that he lived in...
His life merely revolves with video games, books or TV shows which are only 2 dimensional or media manipulated, small earnings as a social worker & may NOT even be appreciated by the elderlies he served, as the aged are often cranky & may had passed foolish remarks childing the youth to get a life....
Human REALITIES are based upon our 5 gifted senses - see, touch, hear, smell & taste COMBINED. Books & Screens are 2 dimensional, & will never be able to replace our 5 senses to define realities....
ULTIMATELY, kids are Humanity's future. The best time to learn about life & Civilization is when they are in the formative years...
Perhaps, more attention would be needed with the Education dept for taxpayers funded ORGANIZED trips for kids & teens to see REALITIES within & outside the country, to form up their perspectives in the formative years for life.
Thru such student exchanges, not just for those whom excel, but for all so long as their protective parents allow - whom only desire a sheltered life for their kids which will only result in 'frog in the well' mentality, those students will be able to have a better grasp of the World they live in. Kids from agrarian societies to visit cities & city kids to visit farming communities - to study & understand their cultures, beliefs & motivations to be contributors to Humanity.
Such programs may be costly to fund, but the costs of harm done by the misguided & insane to innocents & leaders are beyond measure....
