Robin Williams’ Fans Are Very Angry With Something Henry Rollins Said

Former Black Flag frontman Henry Rollins makes a blunder with his "Fuck Suicide" article in the LA Weekly, and receives some serious hate on social media as a result.

Former Black Flag frontman Henry Rollins is known to be outspoken with his opinions, and many people usually agree with him, but not this time.

Rollins is getting some serious internet-flak after his column “Fuck Suicide” was published in LA Weekly, as the straight-talking Rollins referenced Robin Williams’ recent passing in a less than respectable light.

“I no longer take this person seriously. I may be able to appreciate what he or she did artistically but it’s impossible to feel bad for them. Their life wasn’t cut short — it was purposely abandoned. It’s hard to feel bad when the person did what they wanted to. It sucks they are gone, of course, but it’s the decision they made. I have to respect it and move on.”

Cue the Twitter hate…
