That's kind of obvious (I think) ... but whether he was doing anything more publicly is still kinda up in the air (afaik)

This really doesn't appear to have had much in the way of other elements that would have been notable. He was on no watch lists targeting white supremacists, etc. No co-conspirators I've seen mentioned, no associations with any groups that are on anybody's radar, etc.

There's a very legitimate reason that a lot of experts consider the most dangerous terrorists of all to be those who plan & act on their own.

It's nearly impossible to stop one person who is determined to act against soft targets (as opposed to a hard target like assassinating a president or such), sort of one of those things that the public doesn't like to think much about 'cause it bursts the fictional bubble that is the notion of being generally "safe".
