The military term “force multiplier” comes to mind.

Because one man (Dorner) has both the motivation-to-use and the access to the required weaponry, and by targeting the very means society has to police itself, his effect seems quite magnified compared to what a single person normally can accomplish.

I’m reminded that Timothy McVeigh’s alternate plan was to organize a sniping campaign.

As I said before, imagine if Dorner hadn’t yet published his manifesto, if the LAPD had no suspects, nothing to go on.
