Rob Reiner's Mentally-Ill Son Arrested for Double Murder, Held on $4 Million Bail

As I'm sure you know, director/actor Rob Reiner and his wife were stabbed to death in their LA home.

Police questioned Reiner's son Nick, who reportedly had a history of mental illness.

Nick Reiner has now been arrested for the double murder of his father and mother.

Police have arrested Nick Reiner, the son of Rob Reiner, on a charge of murder following the death of the acclaimed Hollywood director and his wife, Michele Singer.
Nick Reiner, a 32-year-old screenwriter and the middle child of Rob Reiner and Singer, was taken into custody on Sunday, Dec. 14, and booked on Monday, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department records reviewed by USA TODAY. He is being held on $4 million bail.
...
Reiner has been the most forward-facing of the Reiner siblings. The writer has opened up extensively about his battles with drug addiction as well as homelessness, telling People in a 2016 interview that his struggles began as a teen.
He told the magazine he made his first visit to rehab at 15, and would return 17 times. His 2015 film "Being Charlie," which he cowrote, is loosely based on the experience. His dad directed the film.

JUST IN: Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were reportedly kiIIed by their son Nick Reiner.

I didn’t care for his politics, but this is a terrible tragedy and he didn’t deserve that.

See? That’s not so hard to say, Democrats.pic.twitter.com/TO0J5NVsD3

Trump unfortunately posted on social media, which is always an adventure, and often a bad one. Trump essentially claimed that Rob Reiner's "Trump Derangement System" infected people around him and caused his own murder.

This is very, very similar to deranged left-wingers claiming that Charlie Kirk essentially murdered himself by supporting gun rights, or by pumping "hate" out into the world. Amanda Seyfried -- a fading actress who will fade still more -- made that claim.

Hollywood actress Amanda Seyfried has decided to make the stunning and brave choice of weighing in on Charlie Kirk’s assassination by essentially saying he was asking for it.

Do not watch any movie she’s in. Give her the Stephen King treatment. pic.twitter.com/gGhtv29wrY

Of course this froggy little whore is refusing to retract or apologize for that nasty statement.

Amanda Seyfried is "not f--king apologizing" for her comments on Charlie Kirk after his shocking murder.
"I mean, for f--ks sake, I commented on one thing. I said something that was based on actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes," Seyfried, 40, told Who What Wear in an interview published on Wednesday.
"What I said was pretty damn factual, and I'm free to have an opinion, of course."

Yes, one can offer a defense of Trump that the left has been doing this for three months with Charlie Kirk. But... in that case, what are we complaining about ourselves? If we support this kind of thing, then we can really have no objection to Amanda Seyfried or a hundred thousand other poisonous leftist murder cultists.

It sure would be nice if Trump would think once and a while instead of immediately jumping on Truth Social to show his ass.

For his part, despite how wretched Rob Reiner's politics are, and his Trump derangement (yes, he was in fact Trump deranged and I think he even conceded as much), he did not descend to Seyfried's level after Kirk's murder.

I disagreed with nearly everything Rob Reiner believed politically, but I won’t celebrate his death.

His thoughts on Charlie Kirk were heartfelt and caring.

Obviously, this view was not universally shared on the left:

Worth noting 🚨

Even though the 77.3M Americans who voted for Trump, didn't care for the way Rob Reiner talked about Trump on X

One thing you won't see us doing is, celebrating the way he and his wife were murdered by their own son, like Lucy Martinez did about Charlie Kirk pic.twitter.com/C4ErQNT0pN

6 I am going to say something hard but it is not casual hate, Reiner died (understandably tragically no sarcasm) because he had what wound up being suicidal empathy which is a huge reason we are where are as a society.

He had a duty as a father to try to save his junkie kid, and he died in so doing. I am not mocking that and I am not making light of it. The Ukrainian and the Ginger in NC and IL are dead and burnt because of suicidal empathy on the part of officials.

The problem is that Vi Lyles and Brandon Johnson and the rest are not the CAUSE of the evil they are the symptom, there are a lot of people on this soil that love the criminal more than their political opponent.

I do not know what the answer is.

Yep. I thought the same thing when I saw Trump's post. Disappointing.

I remember conservatives were ripping the left for their statements about Charlie Kirk's death, blaming him for his own death, and stating that conservatives would never do that if a leftist died.

So much for that.

24 In the end there is a societal impulse that may counter-intuitively be part of what made this nation great or more rapid in rise than most, we can be suicidally empathetic.

I am not mocking Reiner, and I am not casually throwing heat what killed Reiner in all likelihood is what drives the leftist mind to value the deviant over the sane and hard working.

Reiner of course had the burden of it being literally his child as the assailant...he died engaged in in all likelihood his patrial duty.

I can understand, and in sadness even admire it as a trait while lamenting its ultimate cost in him towards *his* child.

I am at a loss as to the impulse in otherwise sane people to non-relatives.

This is like a child getting caught doing something bad and giving the excuse "well he does it too!". That doesn't make it correct.

The moral benchmark is not the actions of the left, the moral benchmark is your own moral compass (e.g. Christianity, Judaism, etc.). That moral compass should not change based on the depravity of others.

Also, why assume all condolences are fake? Most people can show humanity despite political differences.

calling the parents of that National Guardsman to extend sympathies for the loss of their daughter.

You think he's going to continue playing the Democrats' game after that? He's done with the bullshit.

79 Trump unfortunately posted on social media, which is always an adventure, and often a bad one. Trump essentially claimed that Rob Reiner's "Trump Derangement System" infected people around him and caused his own murder.

This is very, very similar to deranged left-wingers claiming that Charlie Kirk essentially murdered himself by supporting gun rights, or by pumping "hate" out into the world.

Except Trump is accurate. The hate meathead spewed did infect many on the left.

Hm. Monetizing your kid's mental and physical health problems by making a movie about them.

How very Hollywood.

His death is shock, but I don't think anyone should be surprised. And no, I don't care it that's not nice.

There's a difference between people who get killed for trying to persuade others to abandon their nihilist death-cult world view and people who get killed for living their nihilist death cult world view. And it's okay to say that.

He likely had very little involvement in the raising of his kids, so they are what they are. One was ignored at an early age and battled hollywood demons most of his life.

129 Pop Crush, today, in part -

A Long Battle With Addiction
Nick was born on September 14, 1993, the second son of Rob and Michele Reiner.

Though raised amid privilege and fame, Nick’s personal struggles became public in 2016 when he opened up about his years-long battle with substance abuse.

He said his drug use began in his early teens, leading to his first rehab stint by age 15. Over the next several years, he cycled through more than a dozen rehabilitation programs, often refusing treatment — and at times, disappearing entirely.

“I was homeless in Maine. I was homeless in New Jersey. I was homeless in Texas,” Nick previously told People. “I spent nights on the street. I spent weeks on the street. It was not fun.”

He added, “If I wanted to do it my way and not go to the programs they were suggesting, then I had to be homeless.”

Turning His Struggles Into Art
Despite his challenges, Nick turned to writing — co-authoring the 2015 film Being Charlie, a semi-autobiographical story about a young man battling addiction.

His father, Rob Reiner, directed the project and called it the most personal film of his career.

I don't behave with humility and grace and dignity because it helps me, I do it because I should. Because it's the right thing to do. Whether it helps me or not.

I was raised on The Golden Rule: do unto others as you would have others do unto you. If others still decide to be assholes despite the fact that I try to be a good person, nothing I can do about that. I can't control the behavior and morals of others, but I can control my own.

Integrity is a foundational virtue rooted in the Latin word integer, meaning "whole" or "complete." It refers to the quality of being honest, having strong moral principles, and consistently aligning your actions with your values — even when no one is watching.

143 God, and God alone will judge each and every one of us in the end. That’s really the only judgement that matters. That said, I don’t know how one holds the moral high ground if you’re celebrating, or reasoning a persons murder. I’m as guilty as the next person, perhaps more for engaging in argumentation that amounts to verbal fisticuffs. But that’s with the living, and if they want to engage, no matter how that engagement takes place, I’ll never shrink from that. But when their life ends, hyperbole disappears and the real truth begins. That doesn’t mean the way the lived their life is any less sad, tragic, wrong, unintellectual or insensate. It just means that particular battle is over.

161 I don't behave with humility and grace and dignity because it helps me, I do it because I should. Because it's the right thing to do. Whether it helps me or not.

I was raised on The Golden Rule: do unto others as you would have others do unto you. If others still decide to be assholes despite the fact that I try to be a good person, nothing I can do about that. I can't control the behavior and morals of others, but I can control my own.

Integrity is a foundational virtue rooted in the Latin word integer, meaning "whole" or "complete." It refers to the quality of being honest, having strong moral principles, and consistently aligning your actions with your values — even when no one is watching.

This sounds like some more weak sauce from that invertebrate Marcus Aurelius. What a RINO! (Roman in name only)

The moral high ground is lovely but Trump never tries to occupy it, and our side's attempts to do so have mostly only ended in tears, as the Left knows how to manipulate it. Because they know where our weak spot is.

One thing Trump knows is how to make a story behave a certain way, which carves the air out of whatever "they" may plan to do with one.

And yes, the vile public invective that Reiner was involved in during the last couple of decades is as much of his legacy as his directing career.

Don't want people expressing bad thoughts at your funeral, don't be that guy.

Part of Trump's appeal to many is not to engage in the phony bullshit political speak that our ruling class engages in. Remember Bush's Religion of Peace bullshit as an example. PM Albanese expressing regret of Australia but somehow neglecting to mention that this was Islamic hatred directed at innocent Jews. And endless bleating about deploring the violence while failing to put the shame and onus on the very community that is committing and supporting these ghastly crimes.

I will have none of it.

As to his artistic output, he's had a single modest box office success in nearly 30 years, the rest of his output has either been stinkers with the public or with critics, and often both. Whether his often fantastic early films balance out his later output, I'll leave to others to speculate.

You know what's even easier? Saying nothing.

Why do people on the Right do this?

Nobody should be spiking the ball on this dude's corpse. It's unseemly. But Reiner is no-longer-living proof that someone on the Left can spend 50 straight years shitting all over the Right and their values, supporting their enemies with his money and megaphone, and viciously ridiculing them at every opportunity - and they will STILL line up to kiss his fat Commie ass.

Why? Because the greasy nepot once paid some homosexuals to play dress up and read some script they liked two fuckin' generations back? Is it the urge to virtue signal by publicly praying for his black little soul?

Whatever it is, it's weapons-grade cringing obsequity. Just say nothing and move on.

How odious? Did Rob Reiner ever shoot somebody? How much physical violence do you know he caused?

See, your beef is not even with wackos like Reiner, but you're spreading it to people with whom you have a difference of their opinion of how they should act when somebody on the other side of the political divide is violently killed.

Reiner was sick of other people having differing opinions as well.

Everyone can and should choose their own path. I am fine with my choices, and I am fine with Trump's choices.

I do question the choice to pretend we are not in a hot war with the left with only one side fighting and with limited time to pull back from the abyss.

I don't think Trump's choice moves us either further or closer to it, same as the high road or being better does. In that light, Trump's comment is neither more or less morally pure than condolences, fake or otherwise.

In their eyes, we are Nazis - they plainly state it - and they aim to murder us for it.

242 It is pretty common for schizophrenia to manifest right around college age. I worked in the field for a good while early on in my career and saw families devastated as a very bright son or daughter descended into the hell of this mental illness. It is not a situation where one goes to a therapist and everything turns out okay. It is a lifelong battle of chemical imbalances most likely exacerbated by drug use but not the primal cause.Shutting down mental institutions and turning them out on the street because of some misguided attempt to give them "freedom" made it worse and why we have homeless encampments and drug overdoses rampant.

Posted by: Elric The Blade at December 15, 2025 01:02 PM (iFTx/)

250 While not a fan of Reiner, I did love "Princess Bride" and other films he directed.

No one (well, except serial killers) deserves to be killed by their own son. Stabbing is worse than anything. To be found by their daughter makes this story worse than horrific.

I simply want to know of the tiny rumor is true that his son was trans. That's all I want to know.

He was probably off his meds and his sister said he was "dangerous." In any photo his eyes are dead, with the fake smile not reaching them. There was probably fear of him for decades. Sad.

Trump was wrong to write what he did as I think TDS was the last thing on anyone's mind during this horrifying murder of his parents. I read on TMZ that Nick and Reiner had a loud argument at Conan O'Brian's Christmas party the night prior.

One good thing I will say about Rob Reiner...he had compassion about Kirk's death. The fact that Erika forgave his murderer impressed Reiner. While I read he was atheist, he said he was a Jew but that Jesus' writings impressed him.

I will NOT be like the Dim haters who were happy when Kirk died. Yet I do want to know if Nick is trans, simply to keep my statistics.

May he and his wife RIP

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at December 15, 2025 01:02 PM (WONhk)

251 189 No mention on the condition of the corpses. I am curious about how the son knifed his parents. My suspicion is this might have been really messy.
------------
I read that he slit their throats and when the daughter found them yesterday afternoon, it's been reported that they had been dead for 'some time.' Also read that they and their son went to Conan O'Brien's Xmas party Saturday night and Rob and Nick got into a fight that was overheard by other guests. So maybe he killed them when they returned home from the party. Awful.

None of those people did or repeatedly said the vile things that Meathead did in the last decades of his life and yet we worry that Trump said bad things about him--mainly for politics and class reasons (don't speak ill of the dead because others might return the favor sort of thing).

I dislike the whole public grieving as theatrical attracting some of the worst scum seeking to benefit (Tucker at Kirk's funeral talking about hummus for example) or any Democrat pol funeral.

298 I've dealt with some true schizophrenics over time, at least one that I know well committed suicide because of it. I've noticed that most tried to self medicate with illegal drugs, but I find it hard to criticize them for doing it; the legal drugs are expensive to get and often do little more than the illegal ones. Saddest yet were one or two I knew who could actually approach normality when they were heavily stoned, but who dropped back into hallucinations and paranoia whenever they tried to go straight.

It's really impossible to figure out what can be done for such people.

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at December 15, 2025 01:02 PM

"The Princess Bride" will always hold a special place in my heart. I first saw it on a trip to Arizona with my uncle and his wife to visit my other aunt (my uncle's sister) when I was 12 years old in 1988. She was taking care of a ranch for the summer and the first night we were there she set me up in the living room pull-out couch and left the TV on to calm me. There were coyotes howling outside and she could see I was a bit scared. They had satellite TV at the time and there were a ton of channels to watch. My aunt went through the channels for a bit and then settled on "The Princess Bride".

That was my introduction to the movie and I have loved it ever since.

Saw "A Few Good Men" for the first time freshman year in college and immediately liked it. I remember my roommate and I playing over and over the scene where Tom Cruise rips into Demi Moore for being stupid and missing the day they taught law at law school and laughing our asses off.

I like Princess Bride, and you just have to take it for what it is - an Adult Fairy Tale, with Fairy Tale characters and a Fairy Tale plot. With that as a given, I think it's the most enjoyable and funny fairy tale ever put to film.

From what evidence I have, and it is scant, I think the Reiner household was a seething cauldron of anti-Trump sentiment that likely was never turned off. Rob had his father, Carl, stewing in it before he passed. I cannot imagine that it wasn't bubbling beneath the surface in Rob's own home and thus his kids were immersed in it, too.

Most of us are not interested in discussing political topics all the time. Discussing politics is practically the only thing that TDS aficionados wish to do. They champ at the bit to unload their political perspective on everything. Disagree with them even mildly and they shunt you off to the MAGA camp and then deem your opinions as not being worthy of their esteemed consideration.

There was a guy last week who flew into a shouting match with someone else in the room. Out of that guy's hearing, the other party engaged in the fracas said, "He's probably a Trump supporter" without Trump ever having been mentioned at all in their mutual bellow fest. It's a disease.

The vast majority of them continued to call everyone they don't like "Nazis" or whatever, and the usual contingent blamed his death on himself. And that was before the National Guardsmen were attacked.

I am fine with anyone who reacts to dead lefties the way Trump did moving forward. In fact, other than Turning Point people (or maybe just Erika Kirk), I will be suspicious of anyone "on the right" who engages the left on Trump's comments.

384 His first book about Hollywood and screenwriting > The Princess Bride
Posted by: TheJamesMadison
========
Having not read it, I'll take your word for it. But scripts often read flat compared to a book and adaptions of a book often go very wrong (or right).

One can read Shakespeare as prose but it can be kind of clunky (unless you have a good imagination or better yet seen the play staged). But in its right milieu, the theater, it can be incandescent depending on the cast and director.

As you note, generally trying to put the play into a movie often does not work unless you have someone of the mastery of Welles doing the adaptation. Branagh more inspired and lively version versus Olivier's traditional yet duller version also comes to mind.

The unique thing about the anti-Trumpism, though, is the sheer femininity of it, driven by his sexual past both real and fictionalized.

That's what animates a lot of the left right now, AWFL concepts of sexual danger (which they seem to love since they can't stop putting on sexual slave costumes).

With Vance, happily married one time to an Indian woman, Ivy-educated, and self-effacing...the energy of the left that they've fostered almost exclusively (the black anger thing is separate and another thing)...it becomes more toothless than before.

Yep. I had a cousin who had classic schizophrenia and a break with reality at 21yrs. Same eyes. Also saw the same eyes with mental patients in the ED.

It seems his parents tried everything and in the end none of it mattered. I don't "blame" the parents, but from reading of an interview with the nepo murderer's film of being homeless and drug addled...he blamed his parents. For listening to therapists.

He manipulated his parents and gas lighted the blame. Which is now sadly in retrospect.

I have yet to see a photo where there is life in his eyes. Even the one of him as a kid he looks sort of mean. Dunno. My cousin was not mean but he (9mo older than me) was always nervous and weird. Clung to me and my brother in HS and college as he could make no friends of his own weird.

He once tried to come on to me and I told him I would kill him if he touched me again. And I meant it (ok, I probably would have simply beaten the pulp out of him, then told Daddy).

I think figuring on Trump hate is misfiring. They hate the Right, Jesus the judge (instead of lovebombing Jesus who lets sinners go off and sin some more), they hate white people (in this case, lower class icky white people and dissidents to their class types), and so on.

When you figure out that they hate us and want us dead en masse, then you start to figure out a lot of what drives them. Making the US bankrupt while making Somalia fraud recipients wealthy--just swell, Islamic threats admitted by Obama and Biden killing us and Jews, just swell. Ham Ass killing Jews, etc.

Every vile thing that happens that the left promotes, they rejoice--assassinations, deaths like abortion as a sacrament, lopping off body parts to become miserable and suicidal fake men or women, molesting kids becuz love is love, etc,

There is no good among the left nor is there truth among them. They define themselves in opposition to those things like their true Father, Stan.

439 One of the diagnostic markers of severe schizophrenia is what is called "the mask"; no matter what emotion they are feeling, and no matter how intensely, their face shows a flat, dead impression, no difference at all from any other time.

IMHO. It's a night and day difference. Charlie was killed for his opinion. Reiner because of a mentally ill child. Both are tragic, I wouldn't wish Reiner's demise on anyone. I am and will not celebrate his death. But I didn't care for the man at all. Getting murdered for an opinion is a whole nother level of evil.

Luck of the draw - some of it in managing some rental property on the side (why do they find me?) and some in having a close family member who's dealt with mental illness off and on. It never really goes away.
Some people can tell you about all the famous and important people they've met by chance throughout their lives; I can tell you about all the crazy ones.

One thing I've realized was something Rob Reiner was quoted as saying in one of the articles I read today; too many of the professionals involved in treatment seem to have a vested interest in prolonging the problem, rather than curing it.

Yep. My late cousin's pupils always seemed blown, even as a kid. Like this Nick guy's. He'd be in a family photo and my brother and I looked like normal goofy kids and he looked demented. I just thought he was weird all of my life.

He did his psychotic break when I was over a thousand of miles away in college.He went to our grandmothers. Talked wacko with her. Left his car there and walked to the railroad and rode on top of a freight car for hours. This was the start.

His life ended when he was alone and refusing a half way house. His family made sure he had no guns for decades. He died apparently of hypothermia because he did not pay the gas bill. His brother tried to help him but he talked nasty about his wife. It is a sad cycle of stress for families for decades, and I am sure the Reiners, for all their $, had the same cycle.

My cousin was thrown out of Kroger for acting weird. Could not keep a simple job. It went on for 30yrs and after his parents died. Abusing his own mother before she died in a nursing home

Why can't people talk about Kane like it's any other movie? About how they liked the story and the acting? Why does it have to be, "You don't know how important it was because we can see ceilings."

They are in the local theater program - just finished a run of Seussical, and I think it is informative, interesting, and inspiring to them as young actors.

I think though the CGI in movies actually is looking worse and worse and more fake though through overuse.

I ended up listening to Christmas music and a number, Put One Foot in Front of teh Other came on with video. It comes from the stop action Santa Claus is Coming to Town TV short.

Yet, despite using obvious models being moved back and forth and bit of matte painting, due to its analog nature (shot on film then transferred), it looked warmer and homier than most cold CGI effects that cost millions more in blockbuster movies.

I also think that greenscreen poisoning affects actors delivering lines quite a bit making them flatter with nothing to react to.

Thanks, but I only dealt with him once he lost it. He called me about 2yrs into schziphrenia and wanted to come live with me and my roommate "while he got a job." I was in nursing school out West and thought,"Oh, hell, no." Said that there was no room and that was the end of it.

Decades later, in FL, I received a strange cig smelling cylinder "mail" from him. It had gone through some sort of bomb thing at the airport (had markings of the airport). It was a weird drawing of people, like a 3rd grader, supposedly at a concert in a park I went to with him and my brother. I don't remember the concert at all.

I was pretty freaked out about this "letter" and called my mother, who got one as well about something else. I was also mortified that our local beach town mailman delivered this stinky thing wrapped in Christmas paper, like a British cracker, in July.

518 Why even start the sentence, or include it anywhere, with "I didn't agree with his politics" or "I didn't agree with most of what he said"? Just from one human about another, can't we just say that we are sad about these tragedies? I say this often, but NOBODY CARES if "you" did or did not agree with things said. It's okay to just be sad about tragedies like this without adding a disclaimer.

520 "But you can’t make them unless they themselves want it."

And once they're 18, they call their own shots legally and medically unless they present a clear and present danger to themselves, or others.

And once they've been around the med/inpatient/rehab/counseling/etc block a few times, they know exactly how to answer the crucial questions at the pertinent time, to regain their own "control" of their lives.

And the general system has how many people standing in line for help behind them? "Okay, cool, you aren't suicidal or homicidal. Take your meds and talk to your therapist! Bye! Next?"

Responding in brief, because willowed: 1) Found it entertaining, but that may be generational; ii) a lot of people may not care about it, but it was interesting; c) grew up from early childhood with a lot of movies from the mid-30s through the early 50s, and they were landmark to me.

I don't think it is *just* overuse. A major contributing factor is modern moviemaking does not plan in the first place and thinks that changing CGI to cover errors or on the spot plot changes is cost free. Therefore the CGI is always reacting in a panic, and burning themselves out. With older tech, you could not just go to the model makers and tell them to remake the Millenium Falcon or something. But erasing a dude's mustache in every frame is somehow just doable.

Posted by: Oldcat at December 15, 2025 02:13 PM (8avO+)

526 I didn't care for Rob Reiner's political rants, but he had very kind words for Charlie Kirk's family after his death. Rob was a father too and his daughter is really my only concern now. I doubt I share her politics either, but I hope she finds the strength to navigate the difficult times ahead.

528 "his struggles began as a teen."

I have a theory - pretty straightforward - drug use as a teen makes you crazy. It screws up your brain development. I also think if you are inclined toward mental illness, it accelerates that.

Seriously - your brain is still growing till you are 25 or so. Brain altering chemicals impact that development.

And it shows that your brain is already giving up on control and order in favor of chaos. It's hard enough piloting your life with your eyes clear and hands on the wheel. Being in the back seat with eyes closed is wrong.

529 Retard Trump out and about on Truth Social.

I know we live in a chaotic society at this point, and the lead and death and violence has been flowing one way....but this was a time to just not say anything even if Reiner was a commie piece of shit.

Don't give the lunatics anything to distract from their violent lunacy. This will now be used to drown out the Islamic jihad killings and even the Brown shooting if it ends up being a targeted political hit.

That said I liked Reiner's movies. This is Spinal Tap is one of my favs.

536 Reiner may have had "heartfelt" condolences for Charlie Kirk, but Trump is absolutely correct. Reiner's words stoking the fires of TDS over the past 10 years certainly contributed to Kirk's murder.

When I came home from work, Mrs. Cop was talking on the phone with one of her sisters about Rob Reiner's murder. Mrs. Cop is not politically-attuned - at all.

According to Mrs. Cop, the son, Nick, killed his parents because they said Charlie Kirk didn't deserve to be murdered for his views. I have no idea where Mrs. Cop got this information.

If true, Rob Reiner DID get hoist on his own petard. He's been ranting about Trump for a long time.

537 my son is bipolar/schizoaffective.

The key for him is trying to keep the swings under control, because if he goes too far down it's suicide attempts, and too far/long manic, it's psychotic breaks.

Ace, thanks for pointing out Trump's vile hypocrisy on this matter. Though I have been a staunch Trump supporter, I am extremely disappointed in his attack on Rob Reiner by basically claiming that Reiner brought this horrific murder on himself.
Indefensible!
I could not stand Rob Reiner's political positions nor his overall ideology. He said plenty of anti-conservative and anti-MAGA things I found deeply offensive. Nevertheless, I was heartbroken when I learned he'd been murdered.
AND THEN LATER, I saw the Piers Morgan clip of Reiner's compassionate reaction to Charlie's murder. That man may have identified as being Jewish. But his reaction was beautifully Christian. RIP.
