According to the Anti-Defamation League, the term "lone wolf" was popularized by white supremacists Alex Curtis and Tom Metzger in the late 1990s:
The term "lone wolf" was subsequently adopted by US law enforcement agencies and by media to refer to individuals following this strategy. The FBI and San Diego Police operation to investigate Curtis' activities was named Operation Lone Wolf, "largely due to Curtis' encouragement of other white supremacists to follow what Curtis refers to as 'lone wolf' activism".[3] Currently, the term "lone-wolf terrorism" now refers to violent acts that take place outside a command structure, regardless of ideology.en.wikipedia.org...

i hope our Lone Wolf friends get busy because we are going down the tubes pretty quickly.
What do you mean "get busy"? What do you expect them to do? I wouldn't think there is any kind of organization among them. I don't see where there would be any "plan". I would think you might be expecting some action that is just not there.
These people don't fear anyone. Especially people with nothing to lose.

Lone Wolves are extra scary because they likely share their plan with NO ONE that could rat them out.
They also hold the destructive power of an army, striking any mark at any time in any circumstance to nearly any degree in any place at any time.
No matter what, actions would appear as random to the mark(s).
There is no definitive profile, nothing to predict and no way to track per se. Just a scorned soul looking for revenge.
There's probably a hundred determined wolves for every elite. When? Where? How? Which One?
Only the wolf knows and THAT is what scares them.
