Sadly, it is becoming the norm.
What I find unsettling it when they say 'lone wolf'.
We all think of nutcases like Isis, of organised well planned out attacks and religious zealots or hardened extremists who travelled to the Middle East for training and trod their murderous tendencies back here.
When it is just a guy who hires a van to mow down innocent people it is altogether more chilling.
How do the security forces ferret out a 'lone wolf'.
A man who otherwise might just live life like we do .. who one day decides to go on a killing spree.
There seems to be getting a lot of lone wolves out there.

A lone wolf is someone who commits violent acts in support of some group or ideology but who does so alone, the perpetrator will be a follower of IS(or similar) and acting on orders, not direct orders but orders to supporters in general.
As there were grenades, rifles, ammo etc in the rear of the truck I think it was a funded attack with direct lines to IS. Imho.
I think the news often use the term 'lone wolf' unjustly, it sounds more sinister than 'a bloke on his own'

I refuse to blame all Muslims for this, I blame a group of nutcases that just happen to be Muslims.
Muslims are as much a victim of IS ideology as all of us.

.You ain't there yet though.
And I agree with you by the way - partially.
