A campaigner credited with helping found the modern gun control movement has killed himself in jail while being held on a DUI charge.
Mark Glaze died last month while being held at Lackawanna County Prison in Pennsylvania, with the 51 year-old's death announced in a New York Times story published Sunday.
Glaze, a father-of-one, is said to have been suffering from addiction and severe depression in the period leading up to his arrest and death.
'As we celebrate the life of our beloved Mark, we would be remiss not to mention his harrowing struggle with alcohol, depression, and anxiety,'
'In the last years of his life, Mark actively sought help. He completed several treatment programs, with the hope of finding peace and breaking free of the addictive cycle that caused him to feel so desperately alone and in pain. … We pray that by being open about Mark's cause of death, something positive may emerge from our devastating loss.'
Glaze was being held at Lackawanna County Prison after his arrest on September 9th for fleeing the scene of a car accident in Dunmore, Pennsylvania. Police charged him with DUI, accidents involving deaths or personal injury, abandoning a vehicle on the highway and careless driving.
Glaze grew up in Colorado - with his father a hunter who was a member of the National Rifle Association. He qualified as a lawyer, and joined campaign group Mayors Against Guns in 2011 as a consultant, working alongside luminaries including Michael Bloomberg.
His campaigning intensified in the wake of the 2012 Sandy Hook Massacre, which saw 20 kids and six adults shot dead at a Connecticut elementary school. The gun safety advocate was gay, and drew inspiration for the battle to overturn the Supreme Court's ban on same-sex marriage during his gun safety efforts.

It’s what you put on pigs to pretty them up.
Gee… that’s a shame.
Not…
Meh? I applaud him. I only wish he wasn’t limited to killing himself just once.
I live 30 miles south of Wilkes-Barre and this is the first time I’m hearing about this. I check the Scranton/Wilkes news sites every day, nothing was reported back in September.
Also, it is said the the perp was arrested for DWI, injury and/or death and leaving the scene. Since he was not out on bail he must have been looking at a lot of time in the slammer with little hope of being found not guilty at trial.
But his victims were not homosexual liberal-social communist anti-gun democrat political lawyers! So they are not even named.
Gay Gun Grabber Glaze Gone
And Covid, too.
You win the thread.

“Mark Glaze Didn’t Kill Himself!”
Prove me wrong.

Glaze, a father-of-one, is said to have been suffering from addiction and severe depression, a perfect friend of obama
Arrested in Lackawanna County Pa. That’s Scranton territory. Why no details of the cause of the arrest? The article paints him to be a victim but there were obviously other victims, and what’s a DC cinsultant doing near Scranton anyway?
Strange case.
Some dingaling in the media messed with the color balance in the photo. Here is the natural color:
“Mark Glaze, gun reform advocate, dies at 51.”
How do you ‘reform’ a gun, other than heating it up until its malleable? But what then...the ‘reformed’ gun will be extremely dangerous to shoot.
Didn’t even get to puff up those “gun death” numbers by shooting himself.
Were the cameras malfunctioning while the guards slept?
Syonara Sucker!!
Victims are loosers!
