But why stick around to torment your parents? If you want to prove you’re “better” than them, leave and make your own way in the world. If you resent being dependent on them, go out and prove you can do it.

Nick seems to be permanently stuck in a very juvenile mindset, like he never developed mentally past his teens. And sticking around only to keep getting on someone's nerves is exactly what angry, angsty teen would do. Tbh that anger against his parents he had also seems to me very teenagey.

He's wearing different clothing, and apparently different backpacks, in these two videos.

The video in @Cindizzi's post, from the New York Post, appears to be at just after midnight Sunday, if the cctv clock is correct.

I couldn't see a red backpack in the video you posted. I found one that's clearer.

Surveillance video shows the moment Nick Reiner was arrested after the death of his parents

The footage, obtained by NBC Los Angeles, shows Nick Reiner, 32, being confronted by four police vehicles on Sunday night.

www.nbcnews.com

The moment Nick Reiner was arrested on suspicion of killing his parents was captured on newly released surveillance camera footage from a Los Angeles gas station.

The youngest son of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer was charged with two counts of murder on Tuesday, two days after his parents were found dead with apparent stab wounds. He is being held in jail without bail and is due to be arraigned in court later on Wednesday.

The footage, obtained by NBC Los Angeles, shows Nick Reiner, 32, being confronted by four police vehicles at around 9:15 p.m. Sunday as he walked across a street near the intersection of Exposition Boulevard and Vermont Avenue, about 15 miles from his parents' home. He can be seen putting his hands above his head, dressed in a black and green sweater, a hat and wearing a red backpack...

I guess we will hear about his troubled life. Mental, emotional and drug issues not to leave out how very hard it is to deal with having rich famous family. Issues stemming from when he was very young. And maybe even how his parents enabled him in his drug usage and supported him financially. Also I won't be surprised to hear how hard RR was on him at various times.......JMOO and a guess

Yes, the old blame the victims defense, I'm sure they will try this , but NR isn't likable or sympathetic, imo, and RR was beloved.
I just don't believe that defense will fly with a jury, but idk.

I think I had read earlier that the gas station video was an hour off.
Sorry I don’t have the link handy.

I’m wondering if the change in backpacks is because he has bloody clothes in one of them and is either walking around with them or they were disposed of in the black backpack.

I wonder how NYP could possibly determine the identity of a man walking down the street at night.

In a way, this horrible incident reminds me of Tarzan actor Ron Ely’s son Cameron who became angry and killed his mother. Police responding to the 911 call killed the son in self defense.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/16/us/actor-ron-ely-homicide-investigation-trnd#:~:text=Erik%20Raney%20told%20CNN.,2012%20in%20Beverly%20Hills%2C%20California.&text=The%20incident%20began%20with%20a,Chan%20contributed%20to%20this%20report.

Cameron also had problems with drug addiction and was still living at home despite graduating from Harvard. In the 911 call, he tried to blame his father for the murder. His father later sued the city and police for killing his son.

Was he successful? In suing city & police.

That’s their job ma’am.

I wonder if he had an app on his phone that shared his location with family.

I just don’t get it, this is very sad to read on so many levels. (sorry, cant seem to fix the line strokes???)

Watch Rob Reiner’s son Nick give terrifying warning years before brutal murders: ‘I get crazy’

“You don’t want to set me off,” Nick eerily admitted in the 2016 interview about “Being Charlie.”

pagesix.com

Rob Reiner’s son Nick issued an eerie warning years before his parents’ brutal murders.

The 32-year-old told “Access Hollywood” viewers in a 2016 sitdown that he “get crazy,” adding, “You don’t want to set me off.”

His dad burst into laughter at the quip…..

…….Rob was asked whether he ever worried his son’s own substance abuse struggles would “shine poorly on [is] career.”

The director insisted, “That never crossed my mind. In my opinion, the reason they’re taking — whether it’s drugs or alcohol or gambling, whatever — they’re doing what they’re doing because there’s a pain.

“There’s something inside,” the “All in the Family” alum continued. “They don’t feel good. They don’t feel good about themselves when they’re self-medicating. So [it’s important to] try to understand why they’re self-medicating.”

He noted that Nick is “more important than anything that could happen” to him.

On Sunday, Nick was arrested on murder charges after Rob and wife Michele Reiner were stabbed to death in their Brentwood, Calif., home.

Their job? I don’t think so, news stories do not come with accuracy guarantees. LAPD already forewarned the public about unofficial sources of information.

So, who could be the anonymous friend? That report of the daughter mentioning her brother as "dangerous" was in the very first reports

New details emerge of how Rob and Michele Singer Reiner’s bodies were found
