In the only two examples I'm somewhat familiar with (John Lennon and Ronald Reagan), when someone's mental illness led them to attack a public figure, the trigger wasn't anything nearly as obvious as an incitement to violence, or even criticism of the public figure. Unpredictable people are unpredictable; trying to foresee what might set them off is pointless.
