Not PP but I think PP means DCUM is the first place he/she saw this news. |
It is hard to escape drugs or other influences if the person wants to seek them out. I know people who moved to small towns for this reason, and it did not work. |
All of our public schools have drug problems. Do you think rehab is only filled with kids of celebs? Please don’t be so ignorant about addiction. |
No. He has battled mental heath issues and addictions. He made a movie based on it. https://people.com/celebrity/nick-reiner-rob-reiners-son-opens-up-about-drug-addiction-living-on-streets/ |

My guess is either he was in drug fueled psychosis and didn’t really know what he was doing, or he was lucid and his parents did something (told him that he was cut off?) that enraged him so much that he killed them.
How absolutely awful and heartbreaking. My heart goes out to the family, this is tragic. |
People can find drugs everywhere if they are motivated. Scoring at NA meetings isn’t unheard of. A coworker put her son in rehab and only took him out to attend a family funeral. She flew with him and he was only out of her sight to go to the bathroom on the plane. By the time they landed, it was clear that he’d taken something. They end up in the ER. He got pills from someone on the plane. |

My friend’s son briefly had a drug problem. He had a bad lsd trip and tried to stab his dad. He was hallucinating and thought his dad was an actual monster. He didn’t know it was his dad. He did actually cut him and there was blood at the scene, but his dad was ok. As he was being taken away in an ambulance, he thought the trees were attacking him.
When I hear of something like this, it’s what my mind goes to. If it was their son, a part of me hopes he was high and didn’t know what he was doing and that they knew that. |

When Harry Met Sally was my favorite movie. He was clearly one of the best directors of all time.
I'm grateful for his legacy. I pray for his family at this time. I can't image a more tragic way to die. His family will feel the impacts of this for many years. |

Don't be absurd. This happens in every community in this country. We have a drug problem. Thanks to MAGA morons the drugs are coming in faster now. Rehabs rarely work as well. |

You mean alcohol? |
| There’s a 48 hour rule that you can’t say negative things about a dead person so just report the negative and stop responding to it. |
This. Also Rob Reiner was a "Hollywood child" (his dad was Carl Reiner, famous comedian and actor and friend to Dick Van Dyke and Mel Brooks) and he was a kind, successful person. Meanwhile, I grew up middle class in a small town in the mountains far from Hollywood or even a major city and I have a sibling with a serious substance abuse problem. He's lived in that town his entire life. Addiction and mental illness are not diseases that strike only the rich and famous. Equal opportunity life destroyers. |
