Henry Rollins Apologizes for Suicide Comments (A Top Story)
. In a post on his website titled "An Apology," Rollins calls much of the outrage over his initial column "well placed" and that the fact that it hurt anyone "disgusts" him. "I am not asking for a break from the caning, take me to the woodshed as much as you see fit," he wrote. "If what I said has caused you to be done with me, I get it." He added: "I am deeply sorry. Down to my marrow. I can't think that means anything to you, but I am. Completely sorry. It is not of my interest to hurt anyone but I know I did." Rollins gained attention for an article published on Thursday (Aug. 21) in which he railed against suicide and said that he "simply cannot understand how any parent could kill themselves." The piece was written partly in response to the suicide of Williams on Aug. 11. "I no longer take this person seriously," Rollins wrote. "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."
