Who's to say he didn't just want to die and take someone important out with him. In the mental state he was in at the time, he may not have even cared about politics.
I was thinking there's no proof he didn't do this to impress Jodie Foster. We may never completely understand
Narrator:
Jodie Foster was not impressed.
Are we sure?
Can somebody get her on the phone please, we need to get to the bottom of this...
He did it... for Johnny. This is like that movie Citizen Kane where you later find out Rosemary was a sled, but we'll never find out who Johnny is, cause, like, he's dead.
Context It's quite prescient because he did indeed catch the bullet right in the ear.

Crazy that that song was made before school shootings were even a thing
Hopefully he wrote something down somewhere that gives us an idea to his motivation, but you're absolutely right. We may never know. From the little bit that has come out about the shooter, it sure seems likely to be a typical case of a young man feeling isolated and angry at society. I'm certainly not convinced that politics had anything to do with it at this point.
He left a note saying it was to impress Taylor swift according to fox News proving is was a psyop
Spain supported the colonies in the American Revolution. They were at war with Britain in Europe at the time and they provided money and supplies to the colonies as well as attacking several British positions along the Mississippi River and ramping up the European War. The Fourth of July holiday doesn't even mark a battle, it marks the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the war had been being fought for over a year at that point.
You don't try to assassinate people for altruistic reasons, and I have no ancestors that killed Spaniards on the 4th of July.
