President Obama says don’t worry, the Orlando terrorist was just another “lone actor” operating in isolation, unconnected to any larger group of supporters. In fact, these so-called “lone wolves” are running in packs, and suggesting otherwise gives the public a false sense of security.

Yet Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson echoed Obama, saying Omar Mateen was “self-radicalized” without any religious, ideological or operational support from friends, family or others in the Muslim community.

“What we do know at this point is it appears this was a case of self-radicalization,” Johnson said. “He does not appear to have been part of any group

The “lone wolf” myth was invented so the folks wouldn’t realize that there is an army of 1.5 billion out there who all hate us.

WWII German snipers were lone wolves and not really part of the Wehrmacht.

Exactly, there are no “lone wolf” terrorists. The left, masters at obfuscation and deceit, using words or phrasing to accomplish their evil deeds. In this case and many others they use the claim of not affiliated directly with ISIS or any known terror group, a lone wolf, so to speak.

This is a way for them to deny these people as “real” terrorists. Just wanna be’s or copy cats or lunatics set off by Donald Trump’s hate speech.

You see, that is why there is no such thing as “Radical Islamic Terrorists”.

The Fort Hood shooter, (piss be upon him), is the most ridiculous example. “Work Place Violence? This should have made everyone that heard this for the first time, blow milk up their nose.

I mean LOL! I can’t believe that the liberals in the room, hearing this idea for the first time, didn’t laugh the person, whose idea this was, right out of the door!

Then again, lies, word games, etc. have worked so well on us dupes before, why not try this whopper, the press will go along.

So now, unless the “terrorist” has an ISIS badge or an official stamped Jihad card, they are just “Lone Wolves”.

If they use a “weapon of war” like an AR-47 (/s a la Dick Durbin) then it’s just another gun crime.

If they attack gays (LGBTQXYZ), Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Muslims, Mexicans, White Hispanics, or any other group that aren’t White Trump supporters, then it’s just a hate crime.
