Sounds like it was the son. It would seem, based on the little I've heard, that he had a troubled history with drugs and violence.

Son is in custody.

2nd family in that area that this has happened to in less than a week. Take care of your families and the mental health of the 40 and under generations. I see it in my field every day, there are serious mental health problems plaguing these generations.

LA Deputy Chief news conference was worthless. Won’t confirm anything that’s already known.
Yea I was reviewing some information that’s usually on. Many saying rumors are he’s in custody. Lots of talk about Jewish holiday?

Was absolutely not a fan of his but hate this for all involved. Definitely don’t want to see men being stabbed to death especially if it’s by their own mentally ill son, if that’s what happened.

His drug addict son OJ’d him and his wife. Terrible way to die.

The more details that come out, the more disturbing this gets.

Also, it'd be nice to leave the veiled comments at the door. A couple was murdered and I immediately see comments about mental illness "running in the family" which is false but then I look at the poster(s) saying these types of things and I know why they're saying it. I hate that agenda type stuff, esp when we're talking about two people who were violently murdered. We gotta get much better as a society when responding to horrific stuff like murder.

Anyway, great director. Seemed like a good guy. Apparently their daughter found them.

He had a hell of a run directing movies. Then he shat out ‘north’. After that I’ll always remember him screaming about the equalizer in Wolf of Wall Streer

I bet you won't find one single person dancing on his grave or, God forbid, celebrating his murder.

I have a few wackos in my family. I have stayed as far away as I can from them over the years. Could not imagine having them show up to slit my throat. Had to be some dark issues within the family/son.

Son arrested and being held on $4 million bail.

my STEP brother was a junkie for a long time. He’s almost 60 and just now finally got a steady job. My parents had to take out a restraining order on him at one point because they told him no when he asked for money. He called my mom and said he was gonna kill her, tore up the yard something fierce, and other stuff we don’t need to mention. Addiction can happen to anyone and it’s awful

On a local level, I always make a contribution to The Shepherd's House, a charity that helps people with addiction. I must know 5 or 6 couples whose children either fatally OD'ed or have battled addiction for years. Not to mention plenty of people my own age who have battled alcohol over the years.

Unfortunately this saga also reminds me of how many folks I know who have seriously fallen out with their adult children. And in some cases, I KNOW the parents were very involved with the kids.But for a variety of reasons, they hardly speak or have no contact at all, including grandchildren, just really sad.

NW with the 4d chess per usual. This is his shtick. You see, he fully clicked this thread for the sole reason he knows Reiner is outspoken on certain things...its why he only pops up when he does in threads.

Then he had an agenda to make a post that there was an agenda by others and that disappoints him. Its all too predictable for the "enlightened one"

But finally sir, if MURDERING your own parents isnt mentally ill, please tell me what is. He was an addict since his early teens...which is mental health. Oh, and mental health is hereditary and genetic. You need some ICD-9 documentation, doctor?

There is no indication that Rob reiner had mental health issues yet you have people in this thread saying they weren't surprised he had a son with mental health issues (what do you think that means) and others calling him a POS for having political opinions.

We are also glossing over a pretty severe drug addiction that clearly made his existing issues worse.

Trump piling on isn't helping anyone.

Look my guy, an elderly couple had their throats cut by one of their children yesterday. That's horrifying. I cannot demand that those online act like normal human beings when it comes to what happened but you don't get cool internet points for acting like this. No one here is impressed by you or someone else calling a murdered man a POS in a driveby troll post. Yet you ignore that but focus on my words.

One last thing, there are those here who enjoy pushing everything bad and dirty onto one side of the room as they pretend their side is clean. Our President, someone you likely support, is currently crap talking a dead 78 year old man who was murdered in cold blood by his son. We also saw how the left behaved after Kirk was killed. It's all gross and happens across the board. I apologize if I expect better from people in life. Guess that's on me. We didn't use to behave this way, brassow, from regular people to the President.

Look up James Woods' tweet about Reiner from yesterday. They disagreed politically but were friends. That's how you treat something like this, like a normal person.

Where did you see anyone saying it’s “running in the family, must be other threads, cause I don’t see it in this one. Only one I see trying to bait this into a political argument is you. As you should be able to see, the vast majority of us obviously disagreed with his politics and TDS, but are at the same time being empathetic and saddened at the violent way in which he died. Nobody is openly celebrating it, saying he deserved it or making T-shirts glorifying it. It was horrific. He didn’t deserve to leave the world that way regardless of how any of us felt about him as a person.

Im the guilty one saying it runs on the family. I stand by that. Im not in anyway glad this happened and he certainly did not deserve it, as no one does. That said, Rob was not mentally well and clearly his son never has been.

I remember back in college. I was in my second year of Architecture School at UK. It was a couple of days before Christmas Break, my roommate/classmate were heading out for the night and were strolling through the first year kids setting up their end of semester projects for jury the next day. We stopped and talked for a bit with this one kinda goth/emo looking kid who seemed a bit stressed. We talked about his project, gave him some advice about the jury’s and his project, stuff like that. Have no idea how he did, but we do know that he went back home to Maryland for Christmas and proceeded to kill both his parents. They were both Doctors or something, he apparently came from money, but that hit home a bit, was a shock, especially for myself and Eric due to the fact that of all the kids down there setting up we were somehow led to him to talk to. Just eerie.

Do you mind elaborating on why Rob wasn't well? Did he make off color remarks, seem forgetful in interviews?

I haven't checked but those posts might've been deleted. They were unnecessary shots taken at a murder victim and you're continuing it. Did you really bring up TDS when talking about what happened to the couple? That's what you're going with? Two old people who didn't like the current President are killed and you're bringing up a fake phobia used to mock people into the conversation? You guys literally cannot stop for an afternoon and I do not get it at all. It's baffling. Normal people can't even have a single day to react to the awful news.
Ok Hall Monitor. Stop trusting what everybody says into some agenda. You are one of the worst on these forums at twisting things into an agenda to bait arguments. That’s exactly what your initial post did. All I said was people had opinions about him, but ABSOLUTELY NOBODY on here is using those opinions to OPENLY CELEBRATE AND CHEER his death line leftists. Show me one post on here where people said he DESERVED what happened to him. You won’t. While leftists go this day still cheer and celebrate the horrific way in which Kirk was assassinsted. You act like we aren’t allowed to even mention our disagreements with his politics in association with disavowing the horrific tragedy.

I unfortunately know several people who make it a point to post emotional and hateful things to social media on a regular basis. Not one is mentally well. Simply not the behavior of a grounded person.

To me it has nothing to do with Trump. It has to do with his behavior, and not all of it was about Trump. The guy had issues. It's not political or agenda driven to say so.

I in no way think he deserved what happened.

Is this the guy you're talking about?
