Robert Elkins

Robert David Elkins (born Robert Blaustein), was an American political activist and associate of Bob the Lunatic from 1985 until being fired in 1993. After quitting, he unsuccessfully sued Bobs producer Jon Towell. Elkins founded The People Are Here, a left-leaning organization, in 1996. Three years after that, he co-founded the Anti-rock league, in response to Bobs murder.

Death and aftermath
Elkins died on October 11, 2005 of complications from diabetes. It’s unclear whether or not he was taking medication at the time. In February 2010, controversy arose when 31-year old bartender and convicted bank robber Douglas Lyman professed that he murdered Elkins because he hated "liberals". Lyman was subsequently released in June the same year, when police couldn’t find a "good reason to charge him". In December of 2011, police concluded that Elkins had a bad history with diabetes, and chose not to take medication for it. He had complained about pain to his doctor four weeks before his death. Elkins is survived by two children and a former girlfriend.
