Here's my thing with this.
If he's that crazy and out of it then why did he only kill his parents?
Why didn't he go after anyone else?
That somewhat shows he had something against them.

I'd bet on the way home he was given an ultimatum or told he was about to be committed or kicked out and became further enraged?
We are trying to rationalize the murderous thoughts of a schizophrenic drug addict but the above seems kinda likely.

A few months ago a woman that I was familiar with not in the good way had her head caved in by a hammer by her son who's mentally disabled The house was filled with two foot of garbage Water had been cut off, He had been going around the neighborhood asking neighbors for food
Even the son was not raised and that kind of filth does not mean he was raised in a healthy home
After he bashed her head in she lived
he went inside and started playing games over his phone and he told someone he had done it and only four to six hours later were they able to get hold of the police and get to the home she lived for another two weeks

Drugs fried that kids brain. And he took out two innocent people because of it. I’ve said it before on here, bring back institutions. Get these psychos out of society, drug them up and let them shuffle the halls of the looney bin wearing a bathrobe and mumbling incoherently. That POS had a luxurious life handed to him but he chose to fry his brain with drugs instead.

His habit started no later than Fourteen Years Old...
... are you sure his parents were completely innocent?
I'd rather think this was a terrible confluence of events in which all parties hold some responsibility.

Care... especially mental health and addiction care is expensive.
You don’t have to tell me care is expensive. My mother has dementia and requires 24 hour care so she can stay in her home. $70,000 per month is extreme.

nah,
he was just a degenerate, drug-addicted, silver spoon-fed, spoiled-rotten liberal who had a famous daddy.
a famous daddy who was also not a good person either.

Probably - schizophrenia is usually diagnosed before 30 years old - of course not always
But this just seems like an ‘excuse’

It is. Schizophrenia is one of the most severe mental health diagnoses and it is almost always discovered in your late teens or early 20’s.
In a wealthy family like this, there is a .0000001% chance he evaded diagnosis for this long. He was under mental health care his entire life.
You can tell from any number of interviews with him that he did not have a thought disorder. Even in premorbid conditions - patients with schizophrenia are easy to identify just based on how they respond to simple questions. You can tell even when they are children that they will likely eventually develop the full condition.
This is a sympathy stunt. Which is unfortunate because it creates fear of real patients who suffer from schizophrenia who are only very rarely harmful to others.
I have never been afraid of a schizophrenic patient in my entire long career (and I see them every day).

Can you expand on this? I am truly curious about this process.

NGRI is very difficult to prove. Burden of proof is entirely on the defense.
Not only does the defense have to convincingly show he was suffering from severe mental illness, but they also must show that as a function of his mental illness that during the time of the act he was unable to control what he did and or was unable to appreciate the wrongfulness/unlawfulness of the act (even if he was able to control it). The criteria very slightly by jurisdiction. But that’s it in a nutshell.

Agreed. I have seen some people diagnosed with Sz later in life when it seems to me the more appropriate diagnosis would be psychosis, usually induced by substance use. There are some providers who see psychosis and jump to schizophrenia rather than doing a thorough differential. It makes for sloppy work and causes confusion.

Reiner and his first wife used to do little info vignettes offering parenting tips. It was true to form late 60s thought-you are special-you matter- that sort of stuff.
He thought that he could treat a child with such severe issues that way.
He tried to love his kid to mental health. Unfortunately for him, his wife and his family he was wrong.
This country needs to back to institutionalizing people. Humanely.

What a terrible situation to put O’Brien in. Reiner and his wife were delusional.

Suddenly stabbing your parents to death in a psychotic rage is one thing but methodically planning it is another

If he had not killed the "rich Hollywood" man, ironically his father, and had killed some poor schmuck like a hospital worker or a cab driver or wal-mart person that is exactly what they would say. However, with this murder of a liberal golden boy, they will lock him away forever, as they should have done years ago.
I don’t think so. I think he’ll be in the puzzle factory for a few years the walking among us.

Two sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Nick was under the care of a psychiatrist for mental illness. We're told in the month before the murders, Nick's behavior had gotten "alarming."
He had recently received care at a Los Angeles-based rehab facility that specializes in mental illness and substance abuse. We're told the facility charges $70,000 a month ... and lots of rich, powerful parents send their troubled kids there.
Our sources say 3 to 4 weeks before the murders, doctors changed his meds and he became even more erratic. Our sources say doctors were trying to adjust the medications so Nick stabilized, but it wasn't working.
Sounds like he should have been hospitalized while he was adjusting to the meds. I don't know if his behavior met the threshold for him to be PEC'd and held involuntarily but his parents (not blaming the deceased just stating the obvious) should have insisted on him being hospitalized.

Schizo is a very real and scary thing for the person whose dealing with it and for everyone around them. The vast majority of the time, the person will seem 100% normal, but you have no idea what's going on inside of their head.
