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

      Yeah WTF, cross dressing is objectively bad? People don’t even try to hide their bigotry anymore. If anyone should get back in the closet it is the bigots.

        You didn’t read the article did you?

        He posted photos of local residents (including minors) in his sex fantasy fiction. He actually NAMED a local businesswoman in a story he wrote where he kills her and assumes her identity, seduces her husband, and takes over her life.

        “To call myself a stalker would be an understatement.” He wrote before going on about analyzing every social media post the woman made and collecting her photos like pornographic baseball cards.

        This person was batshit crazy and a potentially dangerous predator.

        How anyone that unstable can convince people that they’re just your average Joe, mentally well and healthy enough to become a mayor, is beyond me.

        Cross dressing isn’t bad. Sexually obsessing over everyone in your town and naming them in a public forum is miiiiilllllleeees above being creepy. It’s like something out of the Twilight Zone.

        I wish he could have gotten help. I wish he didn’t end his own life. That doesn’t change the reality here.

        The publication did nothing wrong by bringing this to the attention of the public. The parents of the kids whose images he posted on pornographic websites needed to be made aware of this bizarre shit.

        If he hadn’t named anyone or shared photos of actual people that had known him all their lives, I’d feel a little differently about it.

        The headline is clickbait. Read the article.

            Thank you. The crazy amount of people who have absolutely refused to pay attention is mind boggling and concerning.

            Seriously, thank you.

          Dang he is the exact perfect match of the conservative Boogeyman.

          He is trans, trying to push a “real” woman out her space, grooming kids, a threat to hetrosexual marriage, and mentally ill.

          This is like if I invented a person named Reginald Slavetrader who born wealthy went to Harvard for economics. Now spends his day writing articles denying global warming and calling for less banking regulations.

          Isn’t it amazing how perfectly this matches up? This guy just happens to have all the traits conservatives happen to hate and was caught by a conservative operator.
