The only difference being that this is THE F@CKING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA MAKING THIS STATEMENT not some anonymous dipstick on an Internet forum.
Good God. I never expected MTG to be the voice of reason, but it's happened a couple of times now.Cal88 said:Rob Reiner and his wife were tragically killed at the hands of their own son, who reportedly had drug addiction and other issues, and their remaining children are left in serious mourning and heartbreak.

This is a family tragedy, not about politics or political enemies.

Regardless of how you felt about Rob Reiner, this is inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered. I guess my elected GOP colleagues, the VP, and White House staff will just ignore it because they’re afraid? I challenge anyone to defend it. pic.twitter.com/j3dvzRxLQJ

This breaks my heart. If any of you have had child that's seriously troubled you know how brutally hard this whole situation is. If your kid's bigger problems have been getting a C+ on a test or staying out past curfew…count your blessings.

There are reports the Reiners had a big blowup argument with their troubled son Nick Saturday night at Conan Obrien's Christmas party. He may have been using again. They may have wanted him to go to a treatment facility and he may have wanted to do treatment while living at home. Their necks were slashed at home sometime after that party and 3:30 the next afternoon.
In prior interviews around the time of the semi-autobiographical "Being Charlie" the Reiners spoke about 'mistakes' they made not listening to their son about not wanting to do treatment; they believed the professionals because they had degrees; the professionals told them they were enabling the son, etc.

Oh, I can relate to this story. My younger sister is a homeless drug addict bully thief with no bank account or phone number or email address who's occasionally violent. When my dad was alive, he filed 2 restraining orders against her. He tried dealing social workers. The cops. Nothing has worked.
Now, she's my problem.
I try to manage it the best way I can.

Every event doesn't have to be a prompt to make social or political points.
"It is really sad that (Charlie / the Reiners) was heinously murdered. Nobody deserves to die like that" is plenty. Hell, if we must we could add a "I don't agree with him/them on politics but..." as a lead in. That is all that is needed. Why can't people just be human?

A private citizen I know who was just a great human being - kind, giving, gentle, decent, involved in the community - passed last night. The world is a lesser place for him not being in it. I am hurting today.

My condolences!
What would you like to share about him that you will remember?
I'm listening.

Yeah, my dead brother.
Why I'm so against mind altering drugs, including the now legal marijuana.
Once you start the subconscious connection between substance and feeling, addiction can follow.
It's bad training of the brain.

Well in that case, he'll probably receive a Medal of Freedom honor.
