Mariner Durant was an up-and-coming star of the Libertarian Party. Sick of the corruption in his town of Meridian, Mississippi, he decided to run for mayor. And apparently he had a good shot at winning, when he suddenly dropped out of the race, citing "security concerns"
Around that time, he came to this subreddit claiming he had been harassed, run off the road, and even shot at by police. Unfortunately, all of his comments about the situation have been deleted.
On June 5, he was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head in the woods near his house.

His name was Mariner Durant, and he died a martyr for the cause of freedom.
