Henry Rollins criticizes Robin Williams' suicide in weekly column

Henry Rollins of Black Flag has chosen to criticize the late actor and comedian Robin Williams for committing suicide in his weekly newspaper column.

Williams died tragically of asphyxia by hanging on August 11 and was cremated the following day. His death has been under scrutiny as Rollins is not the first to blast Williams as Fox hot Shep Shepard also called the deceased a ‘coward’ and was later forced to apologize.

Rollins wrote in LA Weekly, “I simply cannot understand how any parent could kill themselves,” as part of his West Coast Sound column which is titled, “F**k Suicide.” Rollins goes on to explain his personal beliefs that the action of suicide is traumatizing and confusing reports the New York Daily News.

"I think as soon as you have children, you waive your right to take your own life. No matter what mistakes you make in life, it should be your utmost goal not to traumatize your kids,” he writes and goes farther to state he no longer takes Williams seriously and claims it is impossible for him to feel bad for Williams.
