  • I understand.

    How much of the 'intent' is known at this point.

    How much of the intent to diminish safety was caused by the assailant and how much by the way it was reported.

    How much of the intent to create division was caused by the assailant and how much by the way it was reported?

  • Its unlikely that the full motives will ever be understood although we'll get a more comprehensive picture over the next few weeks and months.

    My own speculation is that the attacker will not have acted entirely alone and that others in the background will have been involved in encouraging and facilitating the attack. If the attacker themself didn't consider it, the others would be likely to understand the reaction of the major media outlets and how that would have affected public perceptions of safety and exacerbated divisions.
