For anything that happens, it’s a ‘lone wolf’ if it’s provably an ‘inside job’, and if it’s provably a conspiracy, they are outsiders. Because there’s no such thing as an insider conspiracy, even though that’s the most likely way to pull off any conspiracy. Just sayin’. But you don’t need a large conspiracy.

As a free and democratic country let’s all agree to mount a camera on every telephone pole on every street in every town and city across the country to track down the “evil doers.” Better yet let’s strap a tracking device on every citizen, man, woman, and child, so that “Big Brother” or the NSA, can follow our every move throughout the day and night. “Whenever a man does a throughly stupid thing it is always from the noblest motive.” Oscar Wilde.

And if he’s Muslim, we’ll be the ones saying lone wolf. About the only thing that will hold broad public agreement is that these victims deserve our sympathy. Even there a disagreement arises about context and whether the civilian victims of our military violence deserve the same. As soon as there’s an arrest all of our given narratives come into play about causation, and the false front of our unity will fragment on predictable and predetermined lines. Probably the only outcome that will lend itself to some agreement is if it turns out to be another Ted Kazinski, someone so palpably crazed that he can’t be pegged other than mentally ill.
