Yeah, same. I mean - anyone *other* than a white guy was going to whip tRump fanatics into a frenzy worse than they're already in. Can't really deal with that.

But now he's a 'lone wolf' instead of a terrorist, so...wtf ever. (And 'lone wolf' has connotations of coolness and good-guy-ness. People don't take that as an insult, really....)

I feel naïve now, I thought they meant lone-wolf terrorist. Didn't realize they were saying that in place of "terrorist."

They're saying it *instead of* terrorist.

It just doesn't have that same connotation.

Well it's not the same thing to be fair. He's a nutter and doesn't have a vast, well organised, ideaogically driven support network behind his actions.

It generally seems to be code for white. If there's a shooting by a non-white person, they're labeled a terrorist by the media, but if they're white, they're a "lone wolf".
