Adults who refuse help should be incapacitated through the criminal-justice system.
Sharon Tate, Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, Wojciech Frykowski, and Steven Parent in 1969. Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman in 1994. And now, as 2025 comes to a close, Rob Reiner and his wife Michele.
Every era has had its garish Hollywood murder, and each crime reflects its time. Let’s hope that beyond the voyeurism, America learns the lesson behind the Reiner murders: chronic illegal-drug addiction and all-around antisocial behavior are not victimless crimes, and adults who refuse to take help should be incapacitated through the criminal-justice system.
