I also want to point out something else. Rav Yerucham in Daas Torah in Bamidbar, page 138, brings down from the Ramchal that the Ribbono Shel Olam doesn’t “do” evil, he was just “borei ra.” So I think you aren’t supposed to say that the RBSO killed Leiby, like Rabbi Twerski said, even if you hold that a baal bechira can’t kill someone who isn’t chayav meesa. It would be a chutzpah to speak like that about the RBSO.
I would like to point out that the quote from Ami was not the author speaking; it was Rabbi Michel Twerski from Milwaukee. So I don’t see why there is a possibility of complaint against Ami; they were writing what a well-known rav told them. If anything, one can complain to Rabbi Twerski.
The Bais Halevi at the end of Bo says that it is impossible to prove Yiddishkeit to a person who has lost his emuna. I don’t understand his sevara yet, but he clearly says it.
