Rob Reiner lived his politics, we can say that much about him at least.
As more time passes, more comes out about how the Reiner household actually ran … a bit like Portland, Oregon; from what I can tell … except, rich … and with at least one highly successful citizen.
The Reiner household had all the much sought-after liberal social programs the blue state governors want most … in a platinum encrusted, limited edition, home version of the game.
Universal Basic Income (check): Nick Reiner got $10,000 a month plus expenses.
Universal Healthcare (check): Nick got 17 trips to rehab. This wasn’t public health style rehab, either, it was private, with intensive, personalized treatment plans, and lots of personal attention.
Unlimited Second Chances (check): 17 visits to rehab. Seventeen chances in a highly structured, expensive facility, not the L.A. County Jail.
Tolerance of escalating drug use (check): Nick went from booze, to weed, to coke, to Herion, to meth … and nobody cut him out of their lives, or kicked him off the Reiner Family Welfare Programs.
Reluctance to utilize police (check): apparently Conan O’Brian was instrumental in keeping concerned guests at his holiday party from calling law enforcement regarding Nick’s distself-helphavior at his party. Had police been called, the Reiners might be alive today. Apparently, police involvement would’ve been too embarrassing for O’Brian … so, ya know, none were called.
A self-help approach to serious mental illness? (sure to come up at trial … so possible check) it seems like Nick should have been institutionalized, whether from drugs alone, or drugs plus serious mental illness, which was left basically untreated. That seems to be a factor in the Reiner saga. Much like Soros judges refusing to incarcerate people who are likely to light other commuters on

Schizophrenia plus meth. What a combo.
Liberal scum. The whole bunch of them.
Coddling ≠ Love.
This article neglected the most important element of this story.
“In 1997, Reiner and Singer founded the I Am Your Child Foundation and, in 2004, they established Parents’ Action for Children, a nonprofit organization with a dual purpose of raising awareness of the importance of a child’s early years by producing and distributing celebrity-hosted educational videos for parents, and advancing public policy through parental education and advocacy”

Rob was teaching others how to raise children while being a miserable failure at it.
“Tolerance of escalating drug use (check): Nick went from booze, to weed, to coke, to Herion, to meth … and nobody cut him out of their lives, or kicked him off the Reiner Family Welfare Programs.”
They enabled him.......as tragic as it is they helped create the monster that ended up taking their lives.
I had a stepbrother in a similar situation. My stepmother was constantly giving him money and I’m pretty sure she knew he had a drug problem.
He ened up overdosing early on in the fentanyl epidemic before it was realized how deadly it was.
All she really did was accelerate his demise......it appears Reiner did something very similar.
i’ll be surprised if this isn’t settled out of court after an endless and time-consuming stream of attempts by defense to withhold evidence, etc. i doubt family wants lurid and revealing trial or Nick on death row.and they hold purse strings.
The Reiner story has disappeared. Why is there no coverage of the funerals. One would expect a big Hollywood funeral. The Reiner story exposes the wide spread dysfunction of Hollywood culture.
The family had a service the Monday (day after the deaths). I read that a larger celebration of life will be in a few months.
My all-time least favorite TV character was the Meathead.
He would have lasted about three milliseconds in my house.
I don’t know how much, if any, of himself Reiner brought to the role, but...
The family stated that they want Nick in a mental health facility vs prison so you are likely correct that something will be negotiated.
Much as I like blaming liberal Reiner for all of his son’s destructive
behavior-————when is Nick Reiner gonna take responsibility?
The other two Reiner kids seem to be ok.
So there’s that.
Nick seems to be completely irresponsible.........no self awareness at all...............and he was an adult
You’d think by now.....................
I'm reminded of this William K. Vanderbilt quote whenever I see stories like the Reiner story.
No need to strive for anything, no goals, no achievement. I suspect the drugs were a means to escape from those thoughts. He never HAD to do or accomplish anything and became a purpose-free miserable person.
The daughter was also a druggie.
I’m not sure the other two kids are okay. The daughter smokes almost 20 joints a day and has been on and off antidepressants. Don’t know about the other kid, but I don’t see how he could be normal, coming from that environment.
Most likely the schizophrenia came from the massive pot smoking.
1997. So Reiners response to having a child was to put on a public show of caring about children instead of actually caring with respect to his own?
Yeah that’s a liberal. Make the right noises and you’re good.
Isn’t atheism wonderful.
