Bama fan who became famous after Facebook posts he made admitted to neglagent welding, etc.

Sad ending, just saw it on WKRG news in Mobile. Didn't realize he was from here.

Also real sorry reporting by WKRG to blame his lack of getting hired after being fired on him hanging a Bama flag at Kyle Field. Think his not getting hired had a lot more to do with his stupid Facebook posts.

Suicide news

Original SDS article about his original comments and subsequent termination from job

I hate he did this but it just goes to show regardless of this being about something as trivial as football, You never know where a series of bad decisions will lead to.

Really hard to feel sorry for a man that sabotaged construction at any stadium, especially mine.

The SDS article is from July and in the other article his sister said that he hung himself almost 2 months later. So I guess this happened sometime in September.?

The only sad thing is that an adult let a game consume his life to the level that he lost his job and killed himself over it. He dug his own grave.

I worked with Bobby Livingston for Performance Contractors on a project in Kemper county Miss, he was a Ironworker/ rigger in 2012 2013.... Bobby was a good guy but he had major issues in his past and his present life. Bobby had stickers on his hard hat that said KING SABAN lol he was a GUMP to the highest level.... He got into an argument with another crew over use of a crane and pulled a knife out ( witnessed it ) he was fired and banned from Performance as well as all of Southern Companies plant facilities.... We lived in the same apt complex in Meridian Mississippi and I helped him pack up b4 he went home to Bama. I was friends with him on Facebook and when the news broke about A&M several of the guys called and talked with him about what happened. Bobby told us that the administration went to the company bosses and banned the guys from wearing Bama shirts and flying Flags off the cranes ( if true or not I don't know ) so him and cpl other guy's hung the flag up as a joke to piss em off. It worked and he lost his job and place in the union. He said no one sabatoged anything, he was fired because he was an idiot. He committed suicide at his girlfriend's home. Bobby had addiction problems as well as women issues. I say all of this not to bad mouth him, or to put his personal life on display but to hopefully put an end to all the ridiculous and wild rumors that have been floating around. Its a truly tragic and sad story..... Now with all that said the cliff notes version is.... A gump went all Updyke and showed the rest of us what it means to HAVE TO MUCH BAMA IN HIM!! Rip Bobby....

The way he thought was probably the same as most of the other workers, he's just the only one vocal about it.

Sad story. If he could have posted anonymously, he name wouldn't have been ruined with employers.

A pox on WKRG for dusting off a non-current story and recycling it just to stir the pot and get clicks for its web page.

"Journalism," my backside.

I have a hard time feeling sorry for people who kill themselves. How very selfish.

Social media seems to bring out the absolute worst in some people. Best to remain as anonymous as possible, I think.

I'm sorry to interrupt all of the people trying to get banned in this thread but y'all realize he committed suicide back in September right?

This article might be new but I remember this story from months ago.

Continue on with the tasteless jokes if you would like.

ETA: Clay Travis posted this Sept 20th. Can't find any threads about it on tRant.
