In short, remote-control murder by lone wolf. This is what occurs when Bin Laden releases a video that stirs random extremists halfway around the globe to commit a bombing or shooting. This is also the term for what Beck, O'Reilly, Hannity, and others do. And this is what led directly and predictably to a number of cases of ideologically-motivated murder similar to the Tucson shootings. As of this writing, there is no evidence to link Jared Loughner to a specific source of incitement; but some of the other cases can be clearly linked.</blockquote> <p><a href="http://stochasticterrorism.blogspot.ca/">http://stochasticterrorism.blogspot.ca/</a></p> <!-- tumblr url: [https://agalmic.org/post/134291044242](https://agalmic.org/post/134291044242)-->
