It is pretty clear that Reiner was obsessively unstable regarding Trump. I saw no issue with what Trump said, and when he said it.

The man colluded with people whose goal it was to put Trump in jail, real jail for an infamous 641 years in jail. And Reiner would have been completely fine to see an innocent man (in the person of Trump) go to jail for the entire sentence.

They all would have.

Your post reinforces that. Trump factually called Reiner “deranged” which is appropriate. Reiner himself had to check into a facility after Trump’s election.

None of this means that Reiner and his wife “got what they deserved”. None of this means that anyone who hasn’t said so “wished” for it to happen to them.

But if I observe that Reiner and his ilk were enemies of the Constitution of the United States, that is an appropriate and factual observation regardless of the time frame around his death.

I listened to a video podcast by a hospitalized Scott Adams today; he was thoughtful and gracious, he did not think that what happened to the Reiners was anything other than a murder and a tragedy, and said he didn’t think the Reiner’s “parenting” had anything to do with what their son did to them. But he did not in any way excuse Reiner’s obsession with Reiner’s own perceived provably false derangement that Trump presented a danger to this country. He called Trump illegitimate, a traitor, treasonous, and criminal. I was impressed with Adams, pretty level attitude towards Reiner, given that Adams feels that Reiner had a hand in getting him “cancelled” and destroying his livelihood (regarding his public associations and collaborations with Comey and Brennan hyping the RussiaGate lies)

I don’t blame James Wood. I will take him at his word that Reiner was his “friend” and had an influence on his career, so I assume he is upset at the loss of a friend, although I do not in any way understand the rationality of calling Reiner a patriot. I see that as pure emotion from Woods, and I won’t hold that against him.
