I can't tell you how many times I have come across these fellows - waiting in lines at stores, approaching their houses, being "in their way," listening to the irrational anger at homeowners and community meetings etc.

I am 61 myself and there are certainly many others who do not behave this way but I have learned to spot those who are amped on anger.
I should have added that there are churches here that feed that hate as well.

It is time to recognize that there is a problem. Doctors need to keep up with behavior changes when they prescribe certain medications for one.
