Bless your heart in the southern way is not necessarily bad. Many people mean what they're saying, "Bless your heart." |
| One consequence of their murder is that their son will finally sober up. In jail for life. |

I think there are some people who are a danger to others, that simply cannot be helped.
I don't know what the answer is. Do we lock them in an institution? What kind of quality of life is that? Do we give families permission to to euthanize them if they can get power of attorney? How do we do that without people taking advantage? I'm not talking ordinary mentally ill people, or people that are merely danger to themselves. But people that have exhibited violent tendencies towards others - that's a massively different red line. |
I read a comment that when dealing with an addict that cannot (or will not) recover, it’s either enable or abandon. |
And then innocent people can get killed on public transit? |
There are drugs in jail. |

This is just a self-serving quote from a sleazy defense attorney with no specifics. Even he doesn’t try to link it to intelligence issues. There’s nothing complicated here at all. |
As long as we keep celebrities safe. |
This thought haunted me today when I saw him being arranged. After 15+ times in rehab, and god knows how many other ways his parents tried to help them, he just couldn’t figure out how to live peacefully with his loving family and mountains of privileges. Now he’s going to rot in jail forever and his siblings have no parents. |
Are you kidding? Jail has the best drugs. Do you think drug dealing stops in jail? People will fake an episode just to go get Xanax or some happy pills from the doctor or some weed from the correction officer. |
For siblings, spouses, kids, and friends of addicts: yes. These are your choices. For parents it's more complex. To what extent were the Reiners' "enabling" Nick in order to protect others from him? My own parents enable my brother in part because they are taking actions to protect my brother's kid, and they also hope that by helping my brother he might better fulfill his parenting duties. So it's not just a straightforward enabling of an addict. Parents sometimes feel broader responsibilities. |
This is why it should be possible to get people like this off the street. |
I'm sure he is very, very suicidal. He has no future. He will commit suicide as soon as he is able to. speaking as someone with a similar brother. That destructive force goes inwards and outwards. |
Believe it or not, but people believe this lawyer. He got Karen Reed off using a lazy conspiracy theory that swaths of people, including users here, ate up. |
Are you implying the family members are NOT innocent? |
