Am I the only one who thinks like the unsuccessful Trump assassination was very similar to this successful one? The motivations for that one ended up being kinda ... muddled too.
As far as demographics, they are pretty similar but most shooters have that in common here. Their methods are pretty much identical. Both climbed on a roof and shot. This shooter's accuracy is a lot more neck than nick. Both in trump areas. Most recent one is more competent to since he shot and fled successfully. I would say unclear motivations aren't that surprising for essentially kids who are shooting someone knowing they might die or lose their freedom. Also keep in mind government agencies are going to be selective in what they release since they are trying to prosecute in the future. Press outlets also are going to as well to cater to their audience and get clicks.
It certainly helped with the getaway that there weren't any snipers protecting Kirk. And at these distances there's always an element of chance.
