She played you like a pawnshop guitar.....
One could get the idea it's a concrete, verifiable fact. Semi-verifiable, anyway, since there is an imputation of intent, and it's always necessary, in court, to convince people of intent since it's so hard to demonstrate. That's why prosecutors invented the formulary maxim, "Intent follows the bullet" since in accidental-discharge cases it most manifestly does not; but where findings of intent are necessary to reach a conviction (on first-degree murder versus, say, involuntary manslaughter), one must lead a jury by the nose, by instructing them as if they were seven years old.

Clearly "LOOK AT MEEEE!" was the message, it was painted right on the bus.
