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

The family had a burial for Rob and wife Reiner the day after their deaths? Very Jewish of them.
The name Meathead will forever be associated with Rob Reiner.
Did she enter treatment also?
#2 is an incredibly important point. Even Rob Reiner may have agreed with that, if he could now.
I don’t believe marijuana causes schizophrenia. Is there positive proof that pot causes schizophrenia? If there were proof, President Trump wouldn’t have lightened it’s legal cost.
Burying the deceased the day after death is Jewish.

My supposition is Rob Reiner had a lot of self hate (1 reason would be self hate for his inability to fix his son Nick). My other supposition is that President Trump wasn’t the only one Rob Reiner projected his self hate upon.
I have trouble recalling his real name, but his nickname and character are unforgettable.
They were cremated.
I am betting this was not Nick’s first violent physical altercation with his parents and probably siblings. One has to wonder if the police were ever called to the property and if so, where are the reports? Or, did they have a private security team they would call instead of police to keep his behavior under wraps. In fact, did Reiner ask Conan not to call the police?
