Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
The authorities insist there is no evidence the Ohio State attacker had a membership card from ISIS. Another member of Local 473 of the Amalgamated Union of Lone Wolf Muslim Terrorists.
Seriously, how many “lone wolves” does it take to make a pack? Can’t anybody in the media admit there’s a pattern to this violence?

Not just a pattern – a motivator.
ISIS is specifically targeting people in the west who are susceptible to being teased into becoming martyrs to do exactly this sort of thing, via their online and media outreach. Their website and (very slick) magazine show would-be martyrs how to carry out mass shootings (likely including San Bernardino, Orlando and, quite possibly, Saint Cloud), vehicle attacks (like Nice, France and of course OSU), IEDs (like the Boston Marathon), and, well, stabblings.
So yes – it’s an asynchronous pack.
And we know that the only response to a pack is a bigger, better, and still more civilized pack. Which at least some people in Ohio get.
