When will we realize that sadly, lone wolf attacks can occur anywhere in our nation?

Tragically another violent attack has revealed the rise of 'lone wolf' terrorism. This time Marines are dead in Chattanooga. I know it is shocking it is, but shouldn't we now anticipate attacks anywhere in the US?

And I think we we see more of these all too frequently.

The whole point of the lone wolf is that you don't realize them. Wolves are pack animals. A lone wolf attacking is something a victim will seldom ever anticipate. The issue of it is that you can't completely prevent every crime. Even if you knew they were there would you want all military personnel in the US to wear body armor and carry a rifle while in uniform? I don't think we didn't anticipate them. We did. But just as that lone wolf is you just about never see it coming.
