You could pretend that he's just a bad person and that he's an anomaly, but he's not. He is a forerunner for more like him. If he was just a single bad actor, I wouldn't even bother to respond to Cleatwood. Ronster is the result of a system that is divisive, corrupt, and amoral. He's a part of a growing group of people that is reacting to the political landscape that is declaring him an enemy of the state.  His numbers will grow. Any idiot should be able to look at what's going on and predict this. You can fixate on him if you want, but he's not the problem. He's a symptom of the problem. I argue that the Cleatwoods and Martys contribute more to this mess, because they don't take a stand against the insatiable left. They keep letting the narrative push civility further and further out of the picture.

Cleatwood, it is a group of people, even if you can't see it. The right as individuals all have different length fuses. Ronsters is just shorter than others. There are more like him and more to follow.

I don't disagree with you. It's sad that people are so divisive and so divided. I could get as angry and frustrated but I can't let myself go there or I'll be consumed with hate and sound like Ronster but it wouldn't be toward just one group of people. 

What we're seeing today isn't because of one person, one group or one belief. It's coming from all sides and when the powder keg finally blows it's going to suck for everyone.
