I love your view , young man. People are already making the excuse for Nick, by blaming his horrendous actions on drug addiction. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and, I am glad that your parents are alive! Merry Christmas.
So agree and thanks for being brave enough to mention your demon. God bless you and continue your good health journey. 🙏👍🙏
You are 100 percent correct. He is a Bad Seed, throw away the key….
I agree. Just because you have an addiction to anything does not give you an excuse to murder anyone, especially the people who brought you into this world. I know there are certain drugs that completely alter your thinking, however, during that period, you are still aware of what you're doing. Even if in your mind you are standing back watching yourself do it. I pray for your siblings who are left to pick up the pieces of this horrible & despicable deed that you have done🙏🙏🙏 RIP Rob & Michelle❤️❤️
The Menendez brothers all over again. They had 2 trials and we still don't have all the pieces to that puzzle.
Father dad used rape him n also father took his son Epstein island just saying cuz mom just turn her head like she didn’t know
there is no excuse to kill anyone🙏🙏🙏
I agree with you 100% there was absolutely no reason for him to kill his parents the way he did I don't care if he had mental issues addiction whatever he knew exactly what he was doing I think he was jealous of his father being famous
We don’t know what was said between them. Rob said he had to have total control over his job and probably his son. His son probably wanted money for more drugs. We weren’t there. So we can’t judge the son.
I agree 💯 and it also wrong to steal drag your family into hell because they can't help you.
thank you young hippie from an old hippie They thought we were weird in the 60s and70s for pushing peace & love the statis quo said of us i wish this was like that again they also said drugs was our problem you are right man thank you for being you💕🌸🌸🌸💕
No excuses for this privileged addict.
I don’t think this totally about drugs and addition. There’s a difference between addiction and mental illness. And you said mental issues. He doesn’t have mental issues. He is severely mentally sick. But I totally agree with you, this boy cannot be turned loose. No way . Rob and Michelle RIP and so brutal 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💕
Well said 🙏
The only thing that is tragic is that they didn’t lock him up a long time ago.
this man is speaking truth and I agree!!
Absolutely correct! You are so right! There isn’t ever a good reason for killing anyone unless it’s self defense and I can’t say I believe that is what happened at all ever! This was a heinous crime committed by their own entitled son! What is even worse is I’m afraid that he’s going to get away with it because of where it happened and who he is and his documented history.
I love, love, love Rob Reiner & am very sad & horrified that he & his wife have had their lives ended not in a natural way. You have a lot to learn about mental illness.
I am 💯 with you ‼️ This is the Ultimate Sin in my eyes to murder your own parents it makes me sick. I personally have had family members who suffered from addiction, and no way would they EVER do anything so horrific as this 😢
I totally agree. Nick should be held accountable for the murder of his parents.
put him in prison. no if or why. the boy is a meth addict who failed several times in rehab who his parents paid for and he killed them for money 💰 to buy drugs. ya put him in prison with the other animals
You stated it correctly and I agree 100%
It sounds like more of a mental health issue than an addiction issue—although both together are an extra challenging condition. It’s called Dual Diagnoses. I won’t be surprised if his mental condition was the main factor. This murder has strongly affected me. Yet as a previous Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, it seems like Nick’s mental illness must not have been fully dealt with.
RIP Reiner Couple 🙏 they did not deserve that no matter what the issue was. His son needs to be held responsible and accountable 100% no dang excuses 🙄 dont blame others. he needs to be fully prosecuted and give him the maximum sentence for his actions. I just can't believe that people are capable of this evil action, your parents gave you life after God. he is pretty much a dead man walking.
I agree totally. He killed his parents by slitting there throats. Being an addict all his life is not an excuse for murdering your parents ever. Babying him and trying to spin it on drugs or mental health will not help. You do this horrible thing and you try to justify it but you sorry you must pay the price.
💯 he was given so many chances since a young boy to stay in the steps it takes. I don't think he was ever going to change. therefore he was obviously a danger to his family with $ with the anger and rage he had. mental health is so underfunded. I'm not sure what Rob and Michelle Reiners options were at that point. treatment wasn't ever working. they couldn't force him as an adult. this is horrifying. with this type of son what should have been done when nothing worked? in a broken system. such a hard one. 😪
Rip may justice come in this senseless act...Mom and dad...rip
You are 100% correct. Drug addiction - No excuse! Mental illness - No excuse! There is absolutely no excuse to butcher your parents that loved you, gave you everything, and did whatever they could to try to help you because they wanted to see you get better! The son, Nick, is just a spoiled, rotten, evil human being who knew exactly what he was doing when he decided to slash his parents throats! There's no excuse for what he did!
100% spot on I love your raw honesty and pure courage to tell it like it is it’s absolutely disgusting what he did selfish ruthless and it’s too sad that his parents didn’t realize just how dangerous he was. I wish that he had had security guards around him at his home and you know around the world where he was going because especially people like his own son very dangerous Just absolute travesty horrific sadness that could’ve been prevented I can say that he was just a ruthless, selfish brat. Disgusting. I pray for justice in Jesus, precious name.🙏🏼
you are correct. Lots I f people struggle with addiction but they don't kill anyone.
Also everyone with MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES ARE NOT MURDERERS. I'd be VERY INTERESTED to know what he has been diagnosed with in the past; as there's a VAST VARIETY...
Out of rehab 18 times
Who is this? Why do I care what he thinks?
I totally agree! My son is dealing with mental issues and we are doing our best to get him the right medication and therapy he needs to cope. I think about how scared and terrified they probably were not to ever think their own child would do such a thing! I can't make sense out of nonsense! Two wonderful lives taken 💕 Blessing to the family on their loss🙏
Mental health professionals should have dealt with this illness are truly to blame as well !! That’s my problem with this damn system !!! I totally agree with you !! These parents suffered for years as do many of us do me being one !! Where’s the help for us parents !!!
Amen 🙏
I agree..you make 1 excuse for that person..it tells them in their minds..its okay in my opinion. I pray Rob and his wife did not suffer in Jesus name..Amen. 🙏🙏🙏
I agree people on drugs don't usually kill their parents they probably will steal something of value, it's more going on in that man, i. know EVIL
I agree with you. It should never be used as an excuse to murder your patents. Very tragic about their deaths. Praying for their loved ones.
I agree with you. Thanks for speaking up. Kudos to you for being truthful. You're a good guy.
very tragic no not a excuse not at all
Being dope sick isn’t a good excuse for murdering your parents lock him up and throw the keys away FOREVER
Well said. I agree 100%.
,My thoughts, exactly. Thank you 🤔.
You are correct! Parents were just innocent to Nick's addiction & mental health. His parents loved their son & tried to get him the necessary help But Nick , said himself, refused to get help. As a parent, if Nick's is an adult, going to get help at a mental facility, If Nick's refuses to go into that type of facility, they can't make go into the facility! if the doctors treated him before felt he was a threat to himself or others, then they could of forced him to stay and get the proper help & would have advised , the parents, ti keep Nick's away from them, the house, brother or sister, being he was a danger to them. I personally believe, that Nick got mad at his patents when they got home, and he allowed his rage of anger out & he knew what he was doing. Mental health had nothing to do with the murder of his parents!
He had Some Serious Rage issues from a very young age , Behavior issues , Maybe we will get some kind of Diagnosis during the trial
So well said 🙏🏼
Taking any life is mot validated ever. He meed to be put away forever . If there is any blame here, ir belongs with those that were not able to pronostícate his insane mental illness - he should have been put away a lo g time away. Just saying what comes to mind!
100% true. Well done young man and congratulations on your recovery. Overcoming addictions is a arduous lifetime journey...it gets easier with time.
man go wash your hair
I agree with you 100%!!!
I totally agree!!! There are a lot of people with mental health issues and many with drug & alcohol addiction but there don’t slaughter there parents or family members!!! Congratulations on your steps through recovery!!! I’m sending prayers up for you and keep walking the line!!!
He is so right for what he is saying. Killing his parents that gave him his life raised him and gave him everything is no excuse for taking their life. That son has no heart no respect and love for his parents. Two counts for murder will take his addiction away once and for ever.😡😡😠
I’m an addict and I have mental issues , but I’m not going to un alive my parents because of it
Its not ok .
Their son is very sick, violent & cold hearted. It was just a matter of time before he killed someone. They acted little naive to it. Plus bringing him out in public. It's disturbing with a horrible outcome.. Homicidal Maniac, Bad seed. Rip 🕊💔🕊
Well said. Both affect a lot of families, didn't miss mine. I totally agree.
exactly. he was coddled and pandered to. THATS NOT LOVE. THEY DID FOR HIM THE THINGS HE SHOULD HAVE DONE FOR HIMSELF.
great comments!!!!!
Amen. Thank you.
No it’s the devil he is here trying to take everyone down with him looks like he got another one. I pray for the family RIP. sr and your wife 🙏🏼
I believe he planned the murders n used this drug addiction act so he can get off on not guilty reason of insanity. He had that big loud argument n from of witnesses before he killed them. He knew exactly what he was going to do n played it out perfectly. there's people saying he didn't know what he did probably doesn't remember what he did. yeah right. he covered the hotel windows took a shower n changed clothes n goes to a convient store like he had no worries what so ever. hr sure didn't act it looked like someone on drugs or having a breakdown. if he gets convicted he will be sent a a cushy rich mental facility n be out n a few years n make a movie about what happened n try to be famous like his dad.🤔
is that a Sacramento Kings hat?
We don't need Ppl, using Addiction,or Mental health, as Clear Dunb Excuses, for their , Psychotic Evilness," 👍. Their is a, Huge Difference"" AMEN 🙏💕🌸😍. Recovery is About change, in all areas, and Always works Best, for Those who Truly want it All. 🙏 AMEN 🙌🥰💕 Live, Love,Laugh,Freedom🌸🙏 Peace, 😊 Joy.. etc..12 steps" to the Lite" 💕🥰
👍I totally agree "" 💯 It's an Excuse, " This Man , is Clearly Deranged, beyond Addiction, Mental health, He is an Evil person, you can see it in all of the photos of him, and his poor family," 😞, He should Never leave a Locked, securely, environment. He really makes me sick. A very Sad, Tragedy, 😥 made me cry, such a great loss, to our world, such great ppl, they both were.. 🙏💕RIP & Eternal LOVE, in Heaven and with all of us, who admired you so much.. They Loved Him_ A psychopath," too much, unfortunately... 😞.
Congratulations for your obvious recovery. I agree with you completely.
You are 100 percent correct! No excuses to me that person is just evil. Not because of addiction just an evil soul! Death penalty for anyone who takes someone’s life and no one is above the other. They kill they die.
It’ll be not guilty due to mental health of the perp
Not only did he brutally stab his parents, he slit the neck of each parent! Such senseless tragedy. Nothing makes this possible OK. There is no “but”….
