To take the heat off Simmons exclusively it's not like he's the only one who made ill timed or inappropriate remarks in the wake of Robin William's suicide. I think Henry Rollin's words were worse actually and I don't care if he apologized. The fact that apologies are made after backlash are worse imo. It's not like you never meant what you said.
Here's the link to Henry Rollins essay about the subject matter:
Henry Rollins slams Robin Williams for committing suicide
I just want to address one thing and it relates to the hypocrisy in these type of statements. Henry used the example of once you have kids you void the right to suicide. I get the fact that kids are hurt by it but here's where I draw the line. These celebs care for the families so much but where's the true sympathy when the families get hurt by these public statements basically calling there father a piece of shit. Maybe these families don't want their loved ones name soiled. It's bad enough they lost somebody they love. Anyway, like I said, the arrogance from Rollins outdoes what Simmons said by far imo so maybe the heat can transfer to someone else now or celebs can stop using their status to proclaim judgement on the fallen.
