Some how a lone wolf always ends up being an army of extremists/terrorists.
Always?
I dont think so.
The Columbine Killers turned out to ...have no army ...nor even a cause.
Ditto Aurora, Sandy Hook, etc.
Same with the Las Vegas Shooter, and Nashville Bomber, and the Beltway snipers.
And number of spree killers in the US who did it in the name of Islam -whom everyone assumed were the spearhead of legions-of foreign state sponsored terrorists- turned out to be self appointed lonewolves (Atlanta, San Bernidino, Boston Marathon).
Other politicized mass murderers -Like Brevik in Norway, and the Unabomber here in the US-who did it for other non Jihadist political causes- also turned out to be lone wolves.
The perpetrator of the second biggest terrorist act on US soil after 9-11 (and the biggest act of domestic terrorism) was Timothy McVeigh, who was essentially a lone wolf (with only one or two accomplices).
