the intentions of a possible shooter could be similar to the motives of an actual shooter, but at this time the definitions of the words “motive” and “intention” are being investigated and are being considered for redefinition.

“His intentions were unclear”

Meanwhile, some fat elderly citizens wander through the Capitol building, and it’s so very “obvious” that they are trying to overthrow the government.

Yes, he was undecided to take care of the cities pigeon problem or go duck hunting at the city pond. What else could he possibly been up to? /s/

This is Milwaukee, a hard core leftist enclave. I bet this guy is home grown. Why in the world the RNC chose this place is beyond me.
