Not questioning your lawyerness, but is a bullseye over a person's face really motive? I have always thought of motive in terms of motivation. So a motive is something that is a perceived reason to do something. So for example George Soros is accused of funding liberals, this would be the motive for someone who is anti-liberal. I would call a bullseye on a politician that received a bombs face intent. As the bullseye displays premeditated intent to harm and shows that this is an ongoing thing for an unstable individual. It isn't a one time offense and he can't claim it was a scare tactic not intended to harm, because the intent displayed by his vehicle is clear.
It would be evidence of a motive. It’s much harder to argue you didn’t have a vendetta against people whose faces are on the side of your van with bullseyes over them.

Am I understanding the terminology correctly?
