I can't even get my head around it. To be murdered is bad enough, but by your own child? It's unimaginable.

The world has lost a good, decent, honorable, talented man and his wife. And for what?

RIP Mr. Reiner and thank you for all the great entertainment you provided us for all those years. Thank you for using your voice to stand up for what was right. You will be missed.
