"Loon Wolf" A New Meme?

Post Reply New Topic

Today on CNN they were talking about the Baton Rouge shooter and that he seems to have been acting as a lone wolf. Then the other commentator said "a loon wolf." Presumably meaning a lunatic acting alone.

I can't help but be concerned about this rather dismissive reference to people suffering from mental illness. I'm not trying to say the criminal actions of people are okay because they are ill, of course not. But really, "loon wolf?" I think a little more sensitivity could be shown.

What do you guys think? Am I being too PC?
