Don't think he was trying to hit the guy. He threw it in utter disgust for the speaker.

25 years and still no justice...I'm surprised he restrained himself that well.

the shoe was actually not thrown at him, it was thrown towards him at an angle so it wouldn't hit him. His way of protesting was wrong, however it opened some eyes in the congress party, they denied votes to Sajjan kumar and jagdish tytler. We can relate this to Bhagat Singh ji's assembly bombings, the grenade had no shrapnel and was thrown in an open space, just like the reporter had no intentions of hitting the home minister.
