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.

      The OP buried the lede intentionally or unintentionally. Dude was a grade A creeper and a psycho.

        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.

            Damn you really want everyone to shut up about this. It’s definitely relevant to bring up the fact that this dude made murder fantasy erotica as part of his grotesque fetish. I would wager that’s why he felt the need to kill himself, not because he was trans. It’s not doxxing to post the disgusting history of a sick person. The only thing even close to dox is his real name, which I think we can all agree doesn’t constitute as doxxing, especially if he’s a public figure.

                Because he was a public figure caught doing disgusting things? Are you really arguing that isn’t newsworthy?

                    Keep defending a pervert who harassed a woman, weirdo. Dude was posting children’s pictures in his transition fetish memes and you are full force defending him.

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

        He wrote it about a real woman in the area without her consent. You are being a sexual harassment apologist.

            Yes it is. And everyone would agree it is if this person was not trans.

            It’s not only a sexual harassment, but also a documented intention to kill. The guy deserves to be thrown in jail. But it worked out even better in the end.

        because he holds public office and is posting pictures of children to porn sites and stalking local women? Do you not think public officials should have their disgusting misdeeds documented?

          I think it’s worthwhile to question an unknown outlet. If it’s a tabloid level rag then perhaps I should doubt the pilling on, if any of the smear worthy stuff might be fabricated.

          No matter the outlet, if the material is accurate, then yes it’s reasonable. However we always have to be wary of folks outright making up stuff.

            You think this random conservative blog decided to write a whole fake erotic fan fiction? Which parts are you claiming to be false, they provide a lot of evidence.

              I’m not claiming it to be true or false, just saying I understand why someone might sincerely ask for folks to share anything they might know about the outlet in general.

              However, the stance of “well, you better have a lot of evidence to be skeptical of a random unkown outlet” seems to be setting oneself up to be a sucker to anyone from any side.

                I think the issue is that the question doesn’t appear to have been asked earnestly. Preemptively answering your own question with “sounds like activism” communicates you have already formed an opinion. If you’re asking out of genuine interest, check your preconceived notions at the door and only ask the question. Just “what is this 1819 site? Are they known to be a reputable source and do they demonstrate bias?” Is a good way to ask it.

          article doesn’t say anything about child porn. I’m thinking it’s a bullshit conservative “news” site muddying the waters.

            I didn’t say it was child porn. Also there are archives out there of his accounts where he posted these pictures. But sure you can cover your ears and run away if you want.

      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

                Because it would make you feel better? Or because anybody who disagrees with you automatically faces a higher standard to prove their values than anybody who agrees with you?

                  Your talking point shifted from pretending leftists didn’t do this, to endorsing the leftist who did this.

                    If you read that as an endorsement then I’m done trying to talk to you, have fun conversing with your imagination.
