Maybe they ran into some guards that were delayed changing shifts due to chatting with the shift they were tagging out for, or the kitchen the Ranger's eating at (if a public place) comes under unrelated attack.
That is a good idea. The reason why the Warlock went after him is to help him and had he not, the Ranger would have definitely been knocked unconscious and killed. The Warlock is a team player and doesn't want to let the Ranger make mistakes, but it just ends up enabling the behavior and preventing the Ranger from learning from their mistakes.

Note how you *want* to have him there, and truly enjoy most of his roleplay stuff, but that you feel frustrated because his actions negatively affect the group and yet he seems oblivious to these problems.

Like...it's not about attacking him, it's about honestly telling him how you feel and why you're upset. If he cannot handle honest communication shared without rancor, then you don't want him in this game anyway. If he tries to pull a victim card, be clear about how deeply frustrated you are and how the group agrees that his actions are hypocritical and tedious for you all. Again, emphasize that this is not about assigning blame, but rather about being forthright when problems happen and trying to fix them rather than letting them continue to fester until they explode.
That is very​ wise advice. I will definitely sit down and talk with him.
