Bubba Copeland shot himself in front of police on Friday, days after he begged 1819 News not to expose his private life.

    This comment section is hilarious. Some people are praising his suicide simply because he was a part of the republican party, while others are saying that “no one deserves being bullied for being trans” yet what everyone seems to miss is this guy was a grade A pervert who was posting pictures of real children in his transition fetish memes that he posted online. He also stalked a local business woman and wrote erotica about taking over her life and becoming her through hormones and surgery then murdering her and replacing her. A real woman btw.

    So much cognitive dissonance in this thread and I’m here for it.

    Read up what he did here https://1819news.com/news/item/to-say-i-was-a-stalker-would-be-a-bit-of-an-understatement-curvy-transgender-smiths-station-mayor-copeland-wrote-fiction-about-murdering-real-life-local-businesswoman-assuming-her-identity

      You posted the same article multiple times in this thread. I don’t know that magazine but Wikipedia says about the source

      1819 News is an American far-right[1] news website that focuses on the state of Alabama.

      Aren’t there more trustworthy articles than a far right news site?

        Yeah, it’s a right wing propaganda rag. I wouldn’t trust them reporting the weather without somehow blaming liberals and lgbtq.

      I haven’t noticed a single person praising this persons death. It seems you really enjoy the website the news came from though. Another poster says they’re extreme right wing garbage. You also act as if you have a personal stake in the destruction of this persons reputation. Granted he had some immoral fantasies and bullying LGBT while being trans. He was definitely terrible and I’m not trying to defend him, but What’s your horse in this race?

        You clearly did not look hard enough in this thread. Plenty of people say he got what he deserved for being a republican.

        He was definitely terrible and I’m not trying to defend him, but What’s your horse in this race?

        I have no horse in this race. Just discussing a piece of news on a discussion forum.

          Right. As if pointing out obvious ignorance is all of a sudden a Personal thing. Good job, bro, I saw the value in your comment.

      You probably shouldn’t read Steven King with that logic. Fiction is fiction. Unless you want to punish for a thoughtcrime.

      The Left:

      1. Slurs are bad
      2. Transphobia is bad
      3. Ableism is bad
      4. Restorative justice is better than retributive justice
      5. Move people left
      6. Disregard points 1-5
