I think this incident will prove to be a major inflection point for Ralph. People may think I'm being histrionic but I've thought about this for several hours before posting. I think Ralph is close to becoming homicidal. As in, I would not be surprised if he's been sitting in his Portuguese hotel planning a murder.
I base this on several facts:
-He has been openly and viscerally humiliated in a way beyond any of his prior humiliations. Remember how the original gunt photo affected him. Think about the images from the fight and how those will follow him. His manhood was diminished. His embarrassing body was exposed. His ill-advised attempt at a machismo victory with his return trip was turned on its head perhaps in the worst possible way.
-He has thrown away $50,000 purely out of pride and spite - meanwhile he's almost certainly been burning through savings for some time now. He might even be taking on debt. You better believe that $1,100 child support has been weighing on his mind. He knows it's only a matter of time before he's paying Pantsu $1,100/month as well. Think about the house he lives in and his spending habits. If it were humanly possible for him to live in a nicer home to own the A-logs, he would. But he cannot. Ralph's finances are causing him enormous stress. The Warski fight had the potential to make all of Ralph's exploits pay off financially. And he threw it all away. He hates himself for it and he hates the people he blames for his situation (Jim, Warski, A-logs in general).
-He has no support system. No one to pull him back from the brink of despair and tell him it will be alright. No one to cool his anger and help him cope in a healthy way. Tranny loving Fuentes has his own problems and isn't a real friend anyway. No parents. His wife is a bizarre clout chaser. The list of people he feels have abandoned or betrayed him grows by the day.
-He is full of rage and the state is more or less permanent. Self explanatory.
Ask yourself, who murders people? People like Ralph do. Desperate, out-of-control, hopeless, rage-filled people with no impulse control who delight in being a villain. Ralph fits every criteria, even before you take his ritual public humiliation into account.
Who would he try to kill? I don't know. Cog's friend would probably be his first choice, but England might be tough for him to swing due to gun laws. However, if the doxes are out there (I don't know), I wouldn't be surprised to see Ralph go after Cog or his friend regardless. Maybe he'd try to come at them with a samurai sword.
Another possibility is, of course, Jim. Ralph has promised he's going to Minnesota. Will he show up and impotently live stream himself squealing like he did to Elijah Shaffer? I don't think so. Even though he didn't admit it, I think he was deeply embarrassed by how that unfolded. I wouldn't at all be surprised if he showed up armed. I think Jim is smart enough to not answer the door, but Ralph may try to ambush him or Jade coming to and from the house. I hope Jim will take precautions. PPP and Warski have talked about going down to Minnesota to confront Ralph and I think that would be highly unwise. Don't sink to the level of a ragepig.
I'm sure I'll get some puzzle pieces for this, but I've known victims of murder-suicide and have studied massive amounts of true crime, and this scenario just sets off all the alarms for me. After Portugal 2, I don't think Ralph will be content to sperg out online - and I don't think he wants to show up for an ambush without some kind of "gotcha" to avoid a Blaze redux (or get beat up again). I think Ralph is likely to try and murder someone eventually, the only question is whether he's reached that point. I hope I'm wrong!
Edit: I left out or underplayed an important part. Ralph is incredibly prideful and will not allow his pride to be damaged without a response that is greater in proportion. Ralph MUST always "win" - and what at this point could possibly constitute a win for him?
