    F.L. “Bubba” Copeland, the mayor of Smiths Station and pastor at First Baptist Church of Phenix City, killed himself early Friday evening. Copeland, a 49-year-old married father of three, “took his own life” around 5 p.m. Friday, said Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones.

    Sheriff’s deputies received a request for a welfare check for Copeland around 4:14 p.m. Friday. Copeland was found in Beulah when a slow pursuit was initiated with the mayor’s vehicle.

    Copeland turned off Lee County Road 279 and on to Lee County Road 275 just north of Yarboughs Crossroads and pulled over.
    “He exited the vehicle, produced a handgun and took his own life,” the sheriff’s office said.

    Copeland’s death came two days after 1819 News published photos of him wearing women’s clothing and makeup.

    He could have been transgender or just a cross dresser or got off on a dressing like a woman. It's somewhat ironic that the sin of adultery is more acceptable to conservative Christians than is cross dressing although the former is expressly by prohibited by the Ten Commands while the latter is only addressed in a few biblical verses. In any event his death is a tragedy. Condolences to his family.

    Comment: churches should not be tolerant of adultery. But it must be said that the sin of adultery doesn’t have a PR department.

    Those spoiler photos look like he has implants. Or are those just man boobs in a push up bra?

    It's more so because the sin of adultery is frequently committed by normal heterosexual males in positions of power.

    I didn’t investigate closely enough. Maybe one of our resident posters who are obsessed with transgender topics can weigh in.

    Sad that he couldn't be who he wanted to be.

    Obviously a guess, probably man boobs. If they were implants it would have much more difficult albeit not impossible to conceal them.

    I know what you're saying, but this person put these picures on the internet on their own.

    If he did he obviously didn't consider the consequences. I find it hard to believe that he intentionally put the photos on a social media site viewable by the general public. Most likely he sent them via email to a person or people that he thought could be trusted or posted them a social media site which he thought was not accessible by the general public e.g. an Instagram account designated as "private". Kind of reminds me of naive teens (usually girls) sending explicit photos using their smart phones to a person or persons that they thought that they could trust.

    You’re right. And he was mayor.

    pribably something most or all media might do for a bigger office

    That sounds more likely. Curious as to the exact facts. Your earlier observation remains that this is considered a far bigger "sin" than adultery, which should not be

    And also because known adulterers aren’t jockeying for power, over congregants, because love wins.

    The pics are on Reddit. He created a profile and uploaded to various subreddits (from what I remember - I'm not going back to look!).

    A friend told me once that a lot of regular people upload pictures of themselves on reddit in the nude or worse. A lot of those people leave their faces out of the pictures, my friend says.

    I still find it difficult to believe that he posted the pics on Reddit. They were most likely reposted on that platform by someone that he thought he could trust. You're correct regarding users intentionally posting explicit pictures of themselves on the Reddit platform although again I find it extremely difficult to believe that he was one of them.
