states that Rob Reiner made amazing films and contributed massively to American culture and will be missed.

Yeah, sure.

None of that really matters.

The movies were fine--light entertainment--I liked them too.

But the measure of the man, evaluating his life, HAS to include the circumstances of how it ended.

When some poor minority person with no financial resources has an out of wedlock child who ends up being a drug dealer and an addict and a murderer, both the Left and the Right look at how the child was raised. Yes the individual is responsible for his own actions.

But "the culture" which created the dysfunctional adult also matters.

People are saying they didn't even know Reiner had a son. Much less a very disturbed son.

Yeah that was deliberate. The Left and MSM and social media will probably try to bury whatever sad family history contributed to this tragedy.

Because then Rob Reiner's utter hypocrisy as well as that of the Left (especially "Hollywood") would be put on display for all to see.

Rob Reiner was a shitty father, a phony, and no hero. He was himself a narcissistic psycho who wished nothing but the worst for his perceived political adversaries.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
