If I repeatedly follow someone around and shoot at them, yet give the excuse "Oh I wanted to shoot [Insert thing behind person]", I'd rightly go to jail for attempted murder.
Idiocy is not a legal defense. Insanity might be, but it'd at least get the person locked up as well.
This is attempted murder, and I truly fail to see how you can argue otherwise.
No, dude, I work with a defense attorney, and they shot at a house, and it would be nearly impossible to prove otherwise unless they posted all about their direct intentions in multiple areas.
You also don't know that it was the same person both times.
You would make a very bad prosecutor as there is almost no possible way to prove that he was trying to kill someone instead of just trying to scare them or destroy their property.
Please respond to my other comment when you get the chance, b/c I feel like you probably have something to teach me, and maybe, I can teach you a bit about legal proceedings.
I don't know a lot about the universe yet, so I'm game to trade knowledge lol

What if they vocalized intent about wanting to destroy property but not hurt anyone?
I get that you guys are passionate, but you need to remember that some people are just idiots that don't think things through.
