News Rob and Michele Reiner found dead

You're assuming I didn't find the other major party candidate to be equally horrible, just in different ways.
No, I assumed exactly this from your comment, and it’s as catastrophically wrongheaded as it’s possible for a human being to be.

But this is the last I will say on the subject. This is a memorial thread, and Trump shouldn’t get to pollute it with his depravity the way he does everything else.

RIP to the Reiners.
 
If the stories are true that it was Billy Crystal and Larry David who discovered the bodies, that's got to be doubly traumatic for both of them; especially Billy, seeing how he had to bury his friend Robin.
Damn. That's absolutely horrible. I'm so sorry that they were the ones to find them.

I desperately want to give Billy a hug for the very reason you mentioned. :wah:

If anyone here hasn't watched it, I urge you to go to YouTube and watch "The Princess Bride: The Lockdown Version" and skip to the last scene.
The final moment between Rob and Carl is so much more poignant now.
I watched it live at the time and loved that entire performance, but that ending was especially poignant.

A timeline is starting to emerge.
Saturday night Rob and Nick got into an argument at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party and Rob and Michele left early, quickly followed by Nick.
Rob's daughter Romy, who lives nearby, went to check on the couple Sunday morning, discovered the bodies, called Billy and Larry, who called the police and Billy had to identify the bodies.
Nick was arrested and is in jail on $4 million bail awaiting arraignment.

Not that I don't doubt you, but where did you see this timeline?

My heart goes out to Romy. I cannot fathom what it's like to find her parents in such a way, especially when she probably already suspected her brother.
 
I'm equal parts disgusted, furious, and utterly unsurprised. What a vile excuse for a human being.
Im aware Reiner was very anti trump, and had posted some very strong opinions but regardless Trumps post is probably one of the worst things I've read from someone never mind the POTUS.

if this was the UK and our PM had posted something like this id fully expect calls for, and a subsequent resignation.
 
People know. The ones who support him and defend everything he says and does just don't care because somehow he's their Jesus 2.0.

Looks like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is just as deranged as he is, is calling him out over that posting.

I think this time he has gone too far. Many Trump supporters are calling him out on it. He won't apologize though. But at least many are speaking up. Sure Reiner didn't like Trump or at least his policies, he was very outspoken and I'm sure he took some personal jabs at Trump. but Reiner as far as I know has never made light of the death of a someone with opposing views. In fact .....

Saw this when I was going to bed last night.

People broke a story about their son allegedly stabbing them both. What did they do to their son to cause this to happen? is what I went to sleep thinking.

Sad. But I'm now curious about the non-public persona.

Son was probably higher than a kite (Nick is [allegedly] a drug addict). It probably had nothing to do with Rob and Michele.

How did he become a drug addict? What drugs?

It feels like to simple a solution to say he did drugs and stabbed them.

I see lots of people doing marijuana, and they're not going around stabbing people.

Charlie Sheen hasn't stabbed his parents, and he's come out that he did a lot of coke. Stephen King has also come out about addictions problems, and he hasn't stabbed anyone.

I'm curious about the behind the scenes motive. The fact that a knife was used is also pretty grim.

It's simply a POV shift.

I'm interested in the motive.

Please. STOP.

If you "have" to speculate, take it to TNZ.

Statistically speaking a few of them are.

If you talk to the modern-day Reefer Madness crowd, they'll tell you marijuana makes people schizophrenic and homicidal. They don't address the question of why this doesn't happen to most people.
