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

Don’t forget the mayor was a republican. Free media is more important than republicans saving face.
He might’ve been a republican, but no one deserves to be bullied to suicide.
EDIT: After reading the comments I tend to agree with some of the people. The guy was a republican, part of a party spewing constant hate. The journalists just pointed out his hypocrisy (although indirectly and taht wasn’t the main point of their article). I just find it rather tragic that a man decides to spew hate unto others just because he can’t accept himself to do the things he wants, and when he’s confronted with that, under pressure he commits suicide. It’s rather… sad. I’m part of the LGBTQ community and still feel a bit sad about all of this even though the guy probably voted against my people…
Eh, I think it was okay for Hitler.
Good point. But I hardly see Hitler as human
He killed himself because he knows how badly people like him are treated, because he serves and supports the people who do it. The thought of being on the other end of that interaction was immediately too much to tolerate. If he was bullied into suicide, he was the one doing the bullying.

Even Stalin, Hitler, or other filthy people?
Alright… I’ll take that back…
But he wasn’t? Releasing news of you being a hypocrite isn’t bullying. It’s the other Republicans fault he wasn’t comfortable coming out.
“don’t worry, he was republican” just doesn’t give me warm and fuzzies. It’s just sad that this is the world we’ve made. What do we have to do to break this down?
