A 'lone wolf" [rhetorical] question. (vanity)
me

Posted on 07/14/2016 7:05:39 PM PDT by Leaning Right

So this latest Islamic terror attack (in Nice, France) was a "lone wolf" attack. Why is a bad cop never called a lone wolf? Why are only Islamists lone wolves?

Just curious.

Actually, the questions in my post were rhetorical ones. We all know the answers to those questions.

Don’t you know?

A true “lone wolf” nutcase with a gun is representative of all 100 million law-abiding gun owners while every member of a worldwide political movement with world-domination as their goal and terror as their method acts alone.

Lone Wolves don’t accumulate the amount of weaponry that is being reported in the truck.

He had help.

And his coward friends are alive to do this again. And again.

He did not have his paid up membership card to Al Queda or ISIS on him. Maybe he had a membership card, but it was not to a “recognized” group.

To be a “lone wolf” one must have and agenda and plan.

In almost all cases, the bad cops that have shot people for insufficient reasons had no agenda and it was not premeditated.

The major problem with lone wolf terrorists, is that you cannot infiltrate their network.

When a Muslim kills non-Muslims for religious reasons, it is always lone wolf reaction to Islamaphobia and let us not jump to conclusions about Muslims and Islam.

When a cop kill a black felon for legitimate reasons, it is how racist all the cops are and how the society is perpetuating racism on the oppressed black folk (who were enslaved in the last millennia).

'Lone wolf' is Orwellian New-speak.

It indemnifies government and prevents blame on those terrorists they seek to politically protect.

Could it be the uniform? We have struggled in the past with enemies that don’t wear uniforms and blend in with the citizenry. Uniform=army, no uniform=lone wolf?

Wild Wolves hunt in packs....maybe 4 to 5, and kill by surrounding their prey..... a lone wolf without a pack is a hungry desperate animal. and will attack any animal regardless of the results....

If he was a lone wolf, then why are they looking for up to two others and who’s holding hostages in the hotel? Same meme as always, if they have one bad guy body, then it’s rubber stamped a lone wolf and the crisis is over. Two to several bodies, then there may be others out the but most definitely their wives and mamas were in no way involved or had a clue. Zero to a thousand bad guy bodies, it’s just too hard to know what caused them to get a bit upset.

‘Lone wolf’ is Orwellian New-speak.

A better term is “Known Wolf”.

The Senate had hearings today on the Known Wolf terrorist threat.

It turns out that there are almost no lone wolves, who attack from nowhere, without warning, all on their own. Just about all of them have relationships with multiple islamists, and received support with their preparations.

Even more telling, the overwhelming majority of islamist terrorists in the US, had been interviewed by the FBI prior to their attacks.

The problem is Islam. There, I said it. These groups, Al q, Isis, Hamas, Boko Haram....the commonality is islam. I don’t believe the poor refugee bull crap. This is a stealth jihad. Look at how quickly Italy, France, Belgium, Brussels, Germany, et al have changed. We are on the same track unless we get some common sense and get rid of the leftists who will kill us with their psycho ideology.

Hollande used the word “fanatics” in his broadcast to the nation . . . apparently he has been told that there were more than one attacker.
