5. I am just devastated by this (and even more by the early reporting by Don Lemon*)...

Rob Reiner is among that small group of celebrities that I will forever think of as the BEST of humanity. Talented, kind, intelligent, intensely entertaining, influential--and a real treasure for those of us who are fighting for democracy for his progressive viewpoints.

Honestly, this one makes me feel as though I lost a family member. That lump in my throat has been there all morning.

*I feel as though this is not yet substantiated sufficiently to post more than a note, but Don Lemon has reported in a video from his instagram or youtube (or both) site that the 32 year old chronically drug-addicted son of Rob is the leading suspect. Even more sad, if true, but I will only state that is being reported (LAPD are being intensely cautious and close-mouthed so...? )
