From a FB post I saw, don’t know who this guy is, but I think he sums it up well…

Rob Reiner is dead. So is his wife. It was violent. It was ugly. And it's tragic in the technical sense of the word. But let's not do the dishonest thing where we pretend this man suddenly deserves reverence because he's gone. No tears will be lost here.

For decades, Reiner made a career out of sneering at half the country, smearing anyone who disagreed with him as stupid, evil, or dangerous. He didn't just criticize policies, he dehumanized people. He mocked them. He wished ruin on them. And he did it loudly, smugly, and without apology.

Now that he's gone, the same people who cheered that behavior want silence, grace, and decorum. They want critics to suddenly discover compassion they were never allowed to have themselves. Funny how that works. This isn't celebration. It's accounting.

A person's death doesn't erase the damage they spent a lifetime doing. It doesn't magically convert cruelty into courage or arrogance into virtue. Legacy isn't written at the moment of death, it's written in the years before it. And Rob Reiner's public life deserves to be remembered exactly as it was, divisive, contemptuous, and fueled by an open hatred for people he considered beneath him. No canonization. No forced mourning.

Just the truth, plain, uncomfortable, and earned. One less Meathead...

Being killed by your own mentally ill child is an awful tragedy. The parents have my unqualified sympathy for their last moments. Beyond the tragedy, I saw a summary of Rob's political tweets and it seems to me that a less unstable person was killed by a more unstable person. The son should have been in an instution I suppose.

The previous page, I commented that it must be a mindfuck for Conan O'Brien, and now I cannot fathom what is going through his mind. Reportedly multiple guests wanted the police called.

quote:
“They got in an argument, the father and son. It got so bad and loud someone wanted to call the police to report it,” the insider said, according to the paper — which cited more than one insider concerning the incident.

“But Conan stepped in and said, ‘it’s my house, my party, I’m not calling the police.’ He talked them out of calling the police,” the source added.

"When the s**t was hitting the fan, somebody said we need to call the police. The conversation was about getting this kid put into a mental-health hold,” another source said, adding, “Conan O’Brien stepped in and said, ‘no, I don’t want the police at my house."

I have no sympathy for Reiner’s last moments.
The first post on this page nails it.

In the 1960s these patients were locked up for decades. Suddenly community care arrived and these patients were going to get outpatient care. Our local community health center closed about five years ago. The only care was to be hauled in on a commitment affidavit. You would then see a psychologist and eventually sent for custodial care for a few weeks. The patient was then back in the community.
