> What change was the person who shot him hoping to elicit? We don't know yet, but we can infer these possible changes "the person who shot him [was] hoping to elicit": - stop an effective communicator from further moving the needle of public opinion in his side's favor - intimidate other effective communicators with similar views - intimidate other future possible effective communicators with similar views - cause more violence (some people love chaos and violence)
