Rob Reiner’s son Nick on suicide watch, in solitary confinement after murder charges

1. Not really suprised, what he done will be hitting him now. Shit situation for everyone involved.

2. Just because hes on suicide watch does not means hes suicidal. Most high profile inmates are put there in the beginning as a precaution. Just a little bit of information for everyone wishing death on him.

3. Really what does he have to live for at this point

4. He looks like a completely different person in that photo compared to other ones that have been shared

5. Kind of sounds like this guy needs medical intervention more than anything. Assuming the schizophrenia and the meds fucking him up story is true.

6. Waited too long dude. He had a while before police found him.

7. Can we get a message to Bill Hader to let him know that it’s all good and no one is thinking about his involvement?

8. Fuck that piece of shit

9. I wouldn’t be surprised if he felt worse about the fact that he doesn’t have drugs than he does about murdering both his parents.

10. I would imagine he could be in danger from other inmates if he were not in solitary.

11. I understand that it’s public interest, but this feels gross, these “by-the-minute” updates. This story is so horrific for this family, on so many levels…. 

12. I think I heard on the news that he was in rehab 18 times before he was 22 years old. To be in rehab that many times is a sign of something deeper let alone at such a young age. He’s not even fully developed mentally at 22 and who knows what type of medication treatments he was cycled through. I’m no doctor but it seems he should have been institutionalized quite some time ago for his own well being and others around him.

    It sucks, there aren’t many celebrities or people of high status that are so well liked by the masses. Even those who didn’t know Rob Reiner, you could show them a picture or a movie he did and they would be like “oh that guy, yeah he’s good”. Fucked up situation for sure.

13. The medicine story sounds bullllshit. Sorry but I’m sure if he had schizophrenia (highly possible, not discounting that), they already knew from his at least 17 times in and out of inpatient places. No objection to bringing up any diagnoses he has for his defense, but blaming it on new medicine sounds HIGHLY pathetic, especially after reports of him bragging about his poor behavior and securing a hotel room BEFORE the crime (if that’s true, haven’t seen anything disputing that yet).

14. despite the horror, i gotta believe Rob would want his son to be okay.

15. It’s very hard for parents to have to institutionalize their adult children or young children and I don’t even know if it’s legal, but they definitely needed to do something drastic and unfortunately, he exploded very sad..

16. His poor siblings. Family just completely destroyed just before Christmas. I hope his sister and brother are a good comfort for each other in this awful time.

17. A schizophrenic who just murdered his parents? I’d hope he’s on suicide watch.

18. It could also be because he’s fucked if he makes it to general population. Despite their ow presumably immoral acts, there are prisoners in there who would be disgusted at the act of murdering one’s own parents. Parents who were great parents and gave him more than he ever needed or deserved.

    I’d bet a decent percentage of inmates have lost or never had their parents at all. Either way that’s a universally despised act.

19. I wonder if they are even giving him his meds. Probably not.

20. He was probably having an episode and now he’s out of the episode

21. Remember, he was a meth user so his appearance will definitely fluctuate drastically with weight gain and loss etc. The beard helps cover that up when he has one.

22. I wonder when he was diagnosed as schizophrenic and how long he’d been taking meds. His illness is deep. That illness usually appears from 15-early 30s. Seems like he was always odd and had issues and it developed into fully blown schizophrenia.

23. Man, I feel so horrible for everyone involved in this. Its all so damn tragic. The betrayal they must of felt in the end and the crushing guilt he must be going through it just so damned sad.

24. Being severely mentally ill like this is just the absolute worst fate in life. It’s not like any other illness. It’s so awful and so repulsive that it cancels itself out and people don’t care that it’s an illness because of the havoc you wreak in people’s lives. I’m curious as to who retained his lawyer and who is helping him now. I saw where his parents were in the process of getting conservatorship for him when they died but it looks like it wasn’t active.

25. If the guy wants to end it, they should let him. He killed his freaking parents by cutting their throats.
