He's just one individual, but I have to admit, this IS one right wing nutjob wound up in his own rage. Dedicated to Trump and his ways so much that he had to paste his van filled with stickers and news clippings and pro-Trump stuff to stand out.
Apparently he has done a lot of hate filled things over the years and has a long list of offenses. And then finally went over the edge. Thankfully, no one was harmed, and he'll be in jail for up to 58 years.

Living in a Van Plastered With Hate, Bombing Suspect Was Filled With Right-Wing Rage
AVENTURA, Fla. — On Twitter, Cesar Sayoc Jr. lashed out at immigrants, gun control advocates, and prominent Democratic politicians. On Facebook, he misspelled a racial epithet, directing it at the likes of Oprah Winfrey and former President Barack Obama.
With fury in his fingers, he shared inflammatory news stories from Breitbart, hard-edge videos from Fox News, and angry posts from pages like “Handcuffs for Hillary.” He tweeted a threat to former Vice President Joe Biden. And he posted photographs of himself wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat at one of President Trump’s campaign rallies.
After a frenzied nationwide search for the person who sent 13 makeshift bombs to some of Mr. Trump’s most prominent critics, Mr. Sayoc, 56, was arrested Friday morning in Plantation, Fla., at an AutoZone car parts shop. Authorities released a photograph of a man with a buzz cut and a mouth that drooped toward a frown. They hauled away a white van plastered with bombastic stickers expressing support for Mr. Trump and animosity toward those who clashed with him.
“Dishonest Media,” read one on the van’s back right window. “CNN Sucks.” Cross hairs appeared on a photograph of one of the liberal commentators at the network, which received more than one package from Mr. Sayoc at its offices in New York.
Records show he was a registered Republican; friends said he once danced as a male stripper. He also had a lengthy criminal history — he was once accused of threatening to use a bomb against a customer service representative — and led a life filled with failure.
Well into middle age, he was living with his mother with no furniture, according to 2012 bankruptcy records, and he appeared to have been living most recently out of his van.
Federal officials said Friday they were still exploring questions of motive. “He appears to be a partisan,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said at an afternoon news conference announcing Mr. Sayoc’s arrest, “but that will be determined by the facts as the case goes forward.”
And so, even as the details of a grim and bitter life began to emerge Friday, a shaken country was left to ponder what could have prompted someone full of political grievances to manufacture a slew of improvised explosive devices.
Some of the packages falsely listed as a sender Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida Democrat. On Friday, Ms. Schultz spoke, with a shaking voice, for the first time about the ordeal.
“No matter what your political persuasion, we need to turn the volume down,” she said. “It’s deeply disturbing. I just can’t imagine that anyone would do this.”
