When the FBI discusses the threat of domestic extremism, they often refer to "lone actors," known alternatively as "lone wolves." In fact, just days before a gunman opened fire in Buffalo, New York and killed 10 Black people, FBI director Chris Wray called lone actors "the greatest terrorist threat we face." "Because they act alone and move quickly from radicalization to action—often using easily obtainable weapons against soft targets—these attackers don’t leave a lot of “dots” for investigators to connect, and not a lot of time in which to connect them," Wray said earlier, in a September 2021 address.

Americans recognize what happened in Buffalo because they've seen it before.
