1. WTF?

He's 78 and his wife is 68. Oh my.

4. This is from The Independent

The Los Angeles Fire Department said the two individuals were approximately 78 and 68 years old.

Difficult not to jump to conclusions.

8. With a knife.

12. Ain't no decent way to go.

Not one.

One has to wonder …
Or not. He was born Jewish, but said he was atheist and was “sympathetic to the ideas of Buddhism” (Wikipedia)

I just had to look that up given recent events.

13. I was thinking the same thing. Usually they are stabbed several times. It must be horridly painful.

15. I was just listening to the Met Opera Andea Chenier yesterday. Grim as can be. The French machine (not on stage)

And the quiz concerned “in which opera are the most people killed”.

As a pacifist, my blood was curdling. (The worst was Dialogues of the Camelites) which I can’t listen to or even think of.

I almost universally detest opera plots but they were the “soap operas” of their day.

The Buddha’s first sermon was “The World is on Fire” … and things haven’t changed. May be worse.

5. Story says a 78-year-old and a 68-year-old were found.

Those are the exact ages of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer, his wife.

This would ruin my night and my week. Rob has been one of my favorite people in TV and film since I was pre-school.

7. They were stabbed to death. Just reported on the live ABC 7 stream.

10. Dec., 14th SUCKS!!!!!

Today sucks, the month sucks, the year sucks.

Elleng is gone and so is Rob Reiner. I'm running out of Kleenex.

[canetoad]

11. EllenG?

Hadn't heard - just finding out now. I'll miss her.

[BigmanPigman]

17. I am going to be in the loony bin any day now.

Seriously, my body can't take this ongoing anxiety. I'm down to 82 pounds again. My body reflects on my state of mind.

[GoodRaisin]

14. Oh no.

Stunned at this news.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

16. Just tragic.

[Nixie]

18. He will be as famous in death as he was in life. This is such

shocking and unbelievable news. He was everywhere in Hollywood media, a political spokesperson in media frequently —a larger than life type persona. And now such a shocking death will have a huge story that will never quit.

Not many celebrities are stabbed to death. I’m still in total shock.
