    What is the virtue of live updates for a story like this? It’s going to involve a court case from which we will neither have details nor proceedings for months. Short of he’s been charged there’s literally nothing to learn now other than baseless speculation.

      There is none. The video at the top of the article is about how Donald Trump said the dead Reiner was “deranged.”

      It’s a dark story that the son is being charged, so they’ll keep writing about it.

      This is simply “if it bleeds, it leads.” Literally any attention is good attention for modern news.

      Yes, but remember there is another Bigger Loser who insanely assumed this heinous act had anything to do with himself. That’s as base as it gets.

        I’m not 100% convinced it didn’t have something to do with Trump. I keep expecting to find out the son was deep into Manosphere podcasts and MAGA influencers.

      The sister found the parents and they had Nick in custody that night. I’m betting this wasn’t something well planned out, and he either left overwhelming evidence at the scene or turned himself in, or both.
