You don't need to put bad person into a political bucket but some do this to themselves. A bad behavior or action is rarely devoid of motive, understanding those motive help take the right action. If one crime have been committed because of one party political rhetoric and repeated half veiled call for violence against actors of the opposing party than it needs to be called out.

I'll have to disagree greatly.  I think bad people do bad things all the time without any real motivation.  Just look at school shootings...  what is the motivation other than to cause harm?  Bad people do bad things.  I don't think there is ever going to be a short answer on why people do the things they do.  

Revenge. Or do you think it's coincidence that the shooter was pretty much always a pupil at exactly the same school that he chose to start a shooting?

There are types of crimes that don't require any great plan to carry out, hence why such crimes typically do have a short answer (read: a single primitive motivation). Bad people typically lack empathy, meaning that they don't consider or don't care about the consequences of their actions for other people.

In this specific case it was a politically motivated crime, because the culprit had no personal connection to his intended victim who is a politician; there's no doubt that his victim wasn't chosen at random. It shouldn't bother conservative Americans that the culprit was a far-right nutjob, because all one has to do is to distance oneself from far-right ideologies. The entire longwinded conversation that has been going on for several days exists for no other reason than ConservagameR not being a conservative.
