He's right; we should not be happy about the death of anyone. And certainly we shouldn't become as callous and hateful as the Left. But we have to be logical about this.
Yes, Reiner did condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk, but we should remember he said some horrible things over the years and while he may have been upset by Kirk's assaassination he should at least remember that he helped create the atmosphere of hatred that led to this.
"Only one thing to say about Rush Limbaugh getting a Presidential Medal if Freedom at The State of the Union: I loathe this f***ing man,"
He also accused Rush of being a huge liar and dissembler after he died.
So J.R. it's hard to find a whole lot of sympathy for this guy.
But this is a teachable moment. He was murdered by his son and no doubt because ultimately he messed the son up completely with his radical views and his hatred for others. The son was a serious drug addict and no doubt not thinking clearly but why was he a drug addict? And why did he bear such malice against his father? I believe this is the fruits of Reiner and his wife's sixties radicalism. Leftism makes people angry and bitter and vengeful.
If we are going to discuss any issue properly we must take sentiment out of it and face it squarely. While we should condemn what Nick Reiner did we should also admit Rob was a POS who was consumed by hatred by and large. Yes, he changed his tune when Kirk died, and he should be commended for that. But I for one am not going to give him a pass for what he previously said about Rush or many other conservatives. Reiner was a man with much anger and hatred.
BTW here is an essay saying pretty much the same thing as i, pointing out Reiner and his wife spoiled their son rotten and that this was a model of how liberalism when applied leads to disaster.
