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

    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. 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.

      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.

        Discussion or debate is supposed to be the reason for this forum, not doxxing people.

          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?

                Hardly. He was a mayor in bum fuck Alabama, fiction is fiction. Are we on thought crime now? I’m more worried about the kids actively being raped in church than something this deceased person has done. You seem to really think you have some sort of moral authority to pass judgement on people.

                  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.

                    Seems like you’re harassing this person even in death. Now you’re harassing me. The debate has been long over.

                    There were no allegations of harassment or kiddie diddling. That’s more than can be said about many pastors. Judge and shame all you want but thoughts are not crimes. You seem obsessed with what this guy did in private. Now I’m the weirdo. Lol ok.
