I agree.
I look for a pattern of behavior before I assume people are crazy or unable to contain themselves. The only exception is if they do something that is sooooo over the top and the closest Etheridge got to that is grabbing the man around the neck. That was inappropriate but almost looked like a father scolding his son. Other than that, I consider this an isolated incident for which he has apologized.
I just hope he doesn't claim to be seeking anger management or some kind of treatment. Enough of public figure apologies followed by treatment programs.
