Ryan Wesley Routh

What unsettles me about Ryan Routh is how ordinary the starting point was. A roofer from Guilford County, an Eagle Scout as a boy, a man who worked with his hands under open skies. Somewhere that path bent into something nobody could undo. I don't excuse the act for a second, but I find I can't dismiss the human question underneath it either: how does a person lose their footing so completely? His story reads less like a villain's and more like a warning about isolation, grievance, and the slow drift away from the rest of us. I think about it longer than I'd like.
