Being investigated as a homicide.

Wow, this is a real shock.

It appears that it was their son, Nick, that did this? How awful.

It appears that it was their son, Nick, that did this? How awful.

I hope he's guilty since it's already been reported rightly or wrongly. The media might be jumping to conclusions, but it does look likely. I'm very eager to find out WTF really happened.

I admit i didn't know who Reiner was off the top of my head, but I was of course familiar with some of his classic works such as The Princess Bride.

I am actually hoping Nick Reiner did not do it. I mean being murdered is horrific enough, but imagine it being your own child? The last words you hear in life is your own child that you love more than anything - saying they hate you?

Plus, I'm afraid if it was Nick, then some truly horrific revelations about the family might come out because one thing I've learned over a life time is - if a child is troubled - something or someone is troubling them. And it does sound like Nick has been troubled since he was young.

Both him and his wife? How horribly sad.

Made so many excellent movies. Also remember him as everyone’s favourite meathead. RIP

Those of us of a certain age remember him well for his role as the son-in-law in All in the Family, followed by his excellent career as a dirctor.

He's responsible for good number of movies I like, and can rewatch.

Apparently, his son Nick is not only being questioned, but is now in jail, but the reasons aren’t specified. He had addiction issues in the past, and had even made a movie about it with his dad.

Trump made a ridiculous post about Reiner’s death on Truth Social, but I won’t quote it here.

I'm much less than shocked to hear drugs may have been involved. I bet they tried to get their son cleaned but it didn't work out. Horrible tragedy.

I linked to that on the Trump thread. ...yeah... don't want to go into detail here.

I did, with the intention of (once again) highlighting the President's ignorance and lack of humanity. It wasn't gross, but it was definitely insensitive and uncalled for.

It was like a spoiled rotten toddler who experienced a not-about-me moment.

 

[Jopsy Pendragon]

I knew him from 'All in the Family' and a few movies, but I admired his activism. IIRC, he was a very involved in trying to keep Prop 8 from passing back in 2008 (which it did, reversing marriage equality in California until the supreme court overturned it).

We need more stand up folks like him who aren't afraid to use their influence to fight for fairness.

This is a tragic day. =(

So Nick Reiner has officially been charged with the murder of his parents.

Apparently they had attended a party at Conan O’Brien’s place with their son the night before.

Conan O’Brien Threw a Holiday Party to Forget a Bad Year. Then Nick Reiner Arrived.

Bill Hader and other guests worried the erratic attendee, 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds, had wandered in off the street.
