Crime

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.

It was meant to be a festive Hollywood party thrown by late-night television host Conan O’Brien, full of industry small talk and seasonal greetings.

But the mood inside the gathering soured before the night was out. Guests recalled raised voices and a heated argument between Rob Reiner, his wife Michele and their son Nick.

Reiner and Michele left the party early after a confrontation unfolded in front of some of the industry’s biggest stars, according to TMZ.

LOS ANGELES — Rob Reiner’s addict son Nick will be officially charged with murder Tuesday for fatally slitting the throats of the iconic director and his wife over the weekend — and could potentially face the death penalty if convicted, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office said.

The 32-year-old ne’re-do-well nepo baby will face two counts of first-degree murder in the disturbing double-slaying that’s led to Hollywood heartbreak, officials said.

A son of film director Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner has been arrested and is being held on suspicion of murder after the couple were found dead in their Los Angeles home.

The Los Angeles Police Department said on Monday that Nick Reiner, 32, had been arrested and that he was in custody with no bail.

The deceased couple’s 28-year-old daughter, Romy, found her parents in their home with multiple stab wounds on Sunday, sources told the BBC’s US partner CBS News.

This weekend proved Flavor Flav was right. His posse, Public Enemy, released a song 35 years ago, 911 Is a Joke.

So get up, get, get, get down
911 is a joke in yo town

911 isn’t a joke of course. I’ve seen it in action on a personal basis. I like cops too.

Police policy is the problem. Politicians have hamstrung the police. And the joke is killing innocents.

No offence but you cannot rely on the police for protection.

You can contribute to TPS’ great record solving murder cases. Of course that means you died because they couldn’t help you. 

No guns means we are mere collateral damage so the pols can virtue signal about the need for more and better gun control. 

It was my first personal experience with an Artificial Intelligence “hallucination” — the tendency of AI to just make things up.
When a Toronto homicide detective probing the unsolved murders of Toronto billionaires Barry and Honey Sherman revealed he had turned to AI for help, I figured, heck, I should try too.

I uploaded almost 4,000 pages of partially unsealed police documents, containing witness statements and police theories. On some pages, you can read everything police wrote to obtain various search warrants in the now eight-year-old case. Some pages are partially or completely blacked out. The Toronto Star’s court challenges over the past eight years have unsealed roughly 60 per cent of these documents.

One might expect researchers to have settled the question long ago of whether poverty causes crime. On the surface, the answer seems obvious. A correlation certainly exists: anyone working in the criminal-justice system—or simply walking through a low-income neighborhood—could observe that the poor are more prone to crime. But is the relationship causal? As the old Gershwin tune reminds us, it ain’t necessarily so.

We were poor by the day’s standards lower working class, K was raised by her single Mum. None of us imprisoned. So far.

TEXAS — With a lack of funding and support from Canadian officials, First Nation police chiefs on the front lines of a corridor of Sinaloa Cartel–linked border smuggling and drug trafficking have turned to enforcement colleagues they’d never met for help: Texas sheriffs.

Ammon Blair of the Texas Public Policy Foundation organized the innovative collaboration with the two Indigenous police chiefs, who presented along with Blair at a recent panel in Ottawa attended by Canada’s fentanyl “czar” Kevin Brosseau.

The Children’s Aid Society (CAS) knew Brandy Cooney and Becky Hamber were zip-tying two boys into one-piece pyjamas and their case worker didn’t tell them to stop, according to an email shown at the couple’s weeks-long murder trial in Milton, Ont.

Holly Simmons, their Halton CAS worker at the time, emailed the two prospective parents in July 2019 and acknowledged they used zip ties so the boys couldn’t take off their clothes, in order to control “urine” and for “safety.”

No one will be held accountable because you’re not allowed to offend the lesbians.

A woman is recovering from life-altering injuries after police say she was the victim of a chemical attack near Forsyth Park on Wednesday night. The assault happened near West Waldburg and Whitaker streets, just steps from one of the city’s most visited landmarks.

On Thursday night, Savannah police released a photo of a person they are urgently trying to identify. The image — captured on surveillance video — shows someone in a dark hoodie walking near the area at the time of the attack. Investigators are asking anyone who recognizes the individual to contact them immediately.
