Riiiiiiiight. One nutjob working alone is sooooo much scarier than a well connected underground outfit with enough reach to have a sitting president whacked.
On some level, it is. Lot easier to catch a group than a lone wolf.
I say the exact opposite.
Ever see Arlington Road? They say the same thing. Thinking it's one lone, disgruntled individual actually puts people's minds at ease. That means it's a one-off event and when the guy is caught/killed, it's over. If it's known that there was a group behind it, people get scared because they're still out there. Think Oklahoma City vs. 9/11. Which one scares people more?
I disagree. The evidence actually supports that people cannot accept the randomness of individual, violent acts, going so far as to ignore actual fact and evidence to weave a web far more intricate than one nutjob with a rifle.
