Did Opie edit their link in the end? It looks the same now.

Oh hey, they did! Musta forgot what platform they were posting on, lol.

I'm new around here, it was my first post. I think I got it now.

God damn way to bury the lede with that title. He's an old guy I assume found dead in his home means he died like of old age or cardiac arrest or something. Not that it's potential double homicide.

And reports now saying it's their son

Hello, my name is Nick Reiner. You killed my father. Prepare to die...
Well, this is awkward.
emax_gomax@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 263d
I hate I lold at this.
AbidanYre@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 263d
Yeah, it didn't feel good to write either.
SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world · 4 pts · 263d
Would make more sense to be one of the other siblings saying that to him, wouldn't it?
HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works · 14 pts · 263d
People is reporting it.

It very well be true…but calling what People does “reporting” isn’t great. People was always a tabloid, but is now akin to TMZ as it struggles for relevance.
“Source say”…then not including what any of the sources actually said is just hack.

I'm not saying he didn't do it. In fact I'm pretty sure at the end of the day it will come out that he did.
But Pepperidge Farm remembers when news reporters remembered to use the world "allegedly" in their headlines until after the trial was concluded.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 263d
I remember lots of over the top and ironic use of that term years after the Simpson trial, too, since nearly everyone thought he did it.
It's still really wild how Norm Macdonald was one of the few people who wasn't a cowering pussy about it...but probably lost his job at SNL over it.
can@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 263d
He definitely lost his job over it.

Yay, more conspiracy theories - like we didn't have more than enough already.
Manjushri@piefed.social · 30 pts · 263d
Clearly a conspiracy theory because no one in the USA is ever killed because of their political activism.
dogslayeggs@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 263d
Or killed because they had a son who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, has been in and out of rehab since 17 years old, and has been homeless multiple times.
Manjushri@piefed.social · 2 pts · 263d
Nope. I'm sorry, but that story does not reinforce the glory of Trump. The God Emperor will not accept that explanation.
atzanteol@sh.itjust.works · 0 pts · 262d
Having happened before does not mean it's equally likely in all cases. Jesus, critical thinking is dead now.
andallthat@lemmy.world · 26 pts · 263d
Yeah, they didn't even kiss until season 2!
arsCynic@piefed.social · 26 pts · 263d
Suspect hypothesis, not conspiracy theory. Especially in the USA it's not far fetched at all.

"I'm only asking questions"
Stop it.
SaraTonin@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 263d
That would be why Trumps response was to slag him off then
CircaV@lemmy.ca · 66 pts · 263d
Their son Nick is in custody for the crimes. RIP Rob Reiner and Michelle Reiner. Reiner brought so much hilarity and joy.
MerrySkeptic@sh.itjust.works · 40 pts · 263d
Reports now coming in that it was their son, Nick. Tragic

Stabbed? That's fucked up!

People has some helpful links at the bottom of their story. No, People, I don't like this, I don't want to read this:

De-Googled link.
I had no idea that was his mom in "When Harry..."

Got an actual link to a story and not Google?

Man, I remember when he played Archie's son-in-law Meathead, married to Archie's hot daughter, Gloria. And in real life his dad was Carl Reiner, another amazing genius.
I genuinely expected Rob to live to 98, just like his old man did. This is horrible. RIP.
msfroh@lemmy.ca · 16 pts · 263d
Spinal Tap II just came to HBO on Friday. Rob Reiner was amazing in that.
WanderWisley@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 263d
Stand by me is one of my all time favorite movies. Evan as a kid the campfire scene where Chris talks about who stole the lunch money makes me tear up even today. It’s such a terrible thing to wake up to hear of Rob and Michelle’s death. RIP to you both, you may be gone but you will not be forgotten ever.
Ironfist79@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 263d
Inconceivable! Sorry but I think Rob would appreciate these kinds of jokes.
JerkyChew@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 263d

Maybe he's only mostly dead?
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 263d
I had seen that Spinal Tap 2 just hit the digital format on the 12th. I wonder if that is at all related, assuming his son did it...

People get stabbed for lots of reasons. It's early to be playing armchair detective.
aramis87@fedia.io · 15 pts · 263d
Or, y'know, it could just be their son.
