Not saying that it doesn't exist. But why do all these lone wolves seem to go off on a murderous rampage after they become radicalized? I'm sure it's just a damn coincidence. We can't blame ISIS for this, right? The guy is a "lone wolf". Hell, for all we know, the guys from ISIS were probably trying to talk him out of it, right?
Was Dylan Roof a lone wolf? I don't know - was he associating with a group that encouraged him to kill black people? If so, then he wasn't a lone wolf. If the KKK was counseling him to do this, then they should be culpable, as well.
To me, a lone wolf is someone who is insane, who is triggered by a random event or events - his girlfriend dumps him, he gets bullied and reaches a tipping point, etc...

We absolutely can blame ISIS for the "lone wolf" attacks. They are the ones feeding the propaganda that turns these guys. They are not without blame.
But to me, there is a difference from a coordinated ISIS attack from someone that was sent directly by ISIS and someone that was radicalized by internet propaganda.
