RIP Robin Williams

[Zippyjuan]

Probably his shoes didn't match it.

 

[devil21]

So maybe more famous people should be getting killed off? It was not some sudden thing though it was. He has battled drug and alcohol addiction and depressions almost his whole life. Carlin also abused substances and had several heart attacks before one finally killed him at 71 so not likely a murder by the government there either.

Isn't that always the excuse? Btw, no one said it was a gov't murder. People like the Clintons simply use gov't as the front for their private moneymaking enterprises. Have you not learned a thing on RPF yet? I don't necessarily agree with philhelm's post but I understand where he's coming from with the thought.

How is Bill Maher still allowed to live if that is true?

Be serious. You're really drawing a comparison between Carlin and Maher? The only thing they had in common was being comedians and Maher was never even in the same ballpark as Carlin in comedy or commentary.

 

[Zippyjuan]

Maher is far more political than Williams ever was. If you were to get rid of a comedian because of his political viewpoints, he would be one of the biggest targets. I was hoping you weren't being serious about Williams and Carlin being killed given their known physical and mental health issues.

Maybe it was one of your "crisis actors" and Williams and Carlin are still alive hiding someplace.

People are seriously slamming him for donating to the dem party...

I'm registered repub, because well, RP. I ain't a repu y a long shot, yet I've run into progressives who hate my guts because of it and have all sorts of assumptions about my views because of it. They are rather surprised when I agree with them on many issues.

Here's a stand up piece he did:

I liked the bit about "Polititians should be required to wear jackets like the ones NASCAR driver wear- you know- the ones with their sponsor's names all over them. Then you can tell why they voted the way they did."

Maher is far more partisan. There is a difference. Besides, Maher can't gobble enough elite Dem dick these days so I don't see why he would even be considered a target. He's a lapdog of the current administration and policies.

Complete hoax is also a possibility as Williams (like other beloved entertainers...ahem Michael Jackson) could be worth more 'dead' than alive. His last movies didn't do well but he was busy with multiple projects when he decided to kill himself. There's room for discussion on that possibility.

RP is retired now. You may now register as independent and disassociate yourself from that band of thugs.

Think about this seriously. Make it go viral... WH.gov petition. Contact your reps. Go for PHYSICALLY making them change their costumes to represent who they are representing.

This is in a number of his routines and at least one movie. He GETS corpocracy! It means something to him. Could we make this sort of awareness part of his legacy. I don't want to use him, rather I want to promote something he believes in. A positive change. At a minimum short term public awareness. Ideally, enough public outrage to make them dress up like that. It would make people think. (that would be a lot of outrage! - but WOW! the election payoff...)

Could we get Rand or Amish to sponsor a bill...

Robin is trending right now, so not a lot of time. twitter and other social media campaign, a petition - hell, several, good bait to get the usual voter would be things like articles: 10 things you didn't know about Robin Williams, or a filmography with as many links to full movies as we can find or torrent links... (I was shocked, I'd seen most of the ones that are popular, but WOW! - he's got a TON of movies out there! Ditto for lists of youtube links of his standup. People want to watch this stuff right now. Remember him. Find some clips of him using this routine, cut um up to make a youtube and add value added material. We can make this go viral!

What do you think...

That's a good point. Is it really a coincidence that the Clinton Machine is revving up for a possible Hillary 2016 campaign, and Robin Williams is found dead, allegedly by suicide? The timing of this is sucpicious. We all know how the Clintons suicide people, except for themselves, sadly.

Is there some connection between the Clintons and Robin Williams? I was just wondering how they were able to call it a suicide so quickly. As opposed to perhaps something accidental.

He "accidentally" put a belt around his neck instead of his waist?

He "accidentally" put a belt around his neck instead of his waist?

When I asked this question the media had only mentioned "asphyxiation" with no mention of any belts or hangings. I was assuming there are many ways to "asphyxiate," such as when sometimes people under drug sedation can asphyxiate on their vomit. And apparently there are reasons that sometimes some people put belts around their neck other than specifically trying to kill themselves. So, yeah, I didn't understand the immediate pronouncement of "suicide." Still not clear even.

I'd been wondering the same thing. They seem to be implying suicide, but Mike Hutchence and David Carradine also died of asphyxiation that was not the result or suicide. I suppose depression can make one do "funny things" with a belt, but the whole thing seems so odd to me... "He was found unconscious"... Was he hanging there unconscious? Was he in his car with the garage door closed? I'm ashamed that I'm interested in these details - I suppose it really doesnt matter.
Robin really seemed to have his act together, even when he didnt. Regardless, its pretty sad - the guy obviously made an impact on many.

Some use a form of partial asphyxiation to supposedly heighten orgasm and some have died that way (such as Michael Hutchence of 80's band INXS)- but Williams was describes as "fully clothed" when found. They also describe cuts on his wrist and a knife found beside him so he may have tried to slit his wrist first.

Investigators believe Williams, 63, used a belt to hang himself from a bedroom door sometime between late Sunday and when his personal assistant found him just before noon Monday at his home in California, according to Marin County Assistant Deputy Chief Coroner Lt. Keith Boyd.

The autopsy completed Tuesday morning showed "no indication of a struggle or physical altercation," which was consistent with the death being a suicide, Boyd said.

The personal assistant found Williams "clothed in a seated position, unresponsive, and with a belt secured around his neck with the other end of the belt wedged between the closed closet door and door frame," he said.

Williams' left wrist had cuts, Boyd said. A pocket knife was found near his body, and a red material consistent with dried blood was found on the knife, Boyd said. He said tests will be conducted to determine whether the substance is blood.

Isn't that how David Carradine died? Kinky bastards gotta be more careful.

 

[MelissaWV]

I don't think the pronouncement of suicide was quick at all. He was dead at noonish (local time, I assume) but the official announcements of his death were not all over the place for several hours. One doesn't usually accidentally put a belt around one's neck, fully clothed, and lean into it long enough to die.

People really will dig for a conspiracy anywhere. I guess it's always possible, which blinds people to whether or not it's probable. The guy had been fighting off demons the entire time he was in public. You do not generally find people that manic without a corresponding low. There is a fairly reliable history of comedians with substance abuse issues --- prescription and otherwise --- and early deaths. My only surprise at hearing this was that it didn't happen years and years ago.

 

[devil21]

Will anyone mention the obvious? Robin was gay---- or more likely "asexual".

 

[acptulsa]

Nonsense.

I saw an interview with him where he was talking about how the most beautiful word in the English language is 'pussy'. Bi? Maybe. Gay? Never.

Yeah, he did a convincing acting job in The Birdcage. Yeah, a Nathan Lane has to be gay to do that good a job in a movie like that. But not Robin Williams. He could act.

Nonsense.

You say he was great actor and cite an interview as evidence. Cognitive dissonance. Maybe a better phrase is that he "became asexual".

They technically didn't pronounce it a suicide, just that it looked like one. For the first few hours, this is literally all the press had to go on:
