California law allows for the prosecution of people who supply
the weapon that causes the drug death---in this case meth. When
will the Los Angeles County District Attorney, or however the
state Justice system works in California, file charges against
Mr. Buck? I mean I know it sends, or used to send, dozens of
(brown) people to death row a year so I know it isn’t soft, and
its prison system is overfull. We all know Three-Strikes laws
started in CA. I know CA can be hard on crime when it wants to
be hard on crime (usually when brown people are involved). I
want Ed Buck to be charged with the death of Gemmel Moore as he
supplied the weapon that caused Moore’s death, to face a jury of
his peers, and hopefully, after a trial, get convicted, and then
sent to prison.

And I don’t want his political connections, extensive as they
are, Democratic and progressive as they are, to cover his ass
one fucking bit and neither should any of you. I want the door
to be closed to him, permanently. Perhaps I’ll get my wish---
from all appearances, Mr. Buck is a good fundraiser but is
perhaps not very rich. He can’t buy his way out of this one,
maybe.

I’ve encountered Buck’s type myself, when I was younger. I was
savvy and sensed , well, evil, and kept away and warned others
they should too. Not everyone is as savvy as I am. Until these
predators are named and shamed---we are having a national name-
it-and-shame-it moment and not a fucking moment too soon---more
young gay and bi and questioning men are going to have their
lives cut short.

And for what it’s worth, they ran Buck out of Arizona for
“sexual inappropriateness.” I wonder what that was.

His victim’s name was Gemmel Moore. He deserves justice.
It pleases me to be able to write the follow-up. Ed Buck is in
prison on state charges, and there are now sources stating
federal charges are coming as well.

Ed Buck, the wealthy West Hollywood Democratic donor who has
been linked to a number of bizarre deaths since 2017, has been
formally charged with providing methamphetamine to a man who
overdosed in his home and now faces life in prison, federal
prosecutors said Thursday.

Buck, who was arrested Tuesday night in connection with state-
level charges tied to similar allegations, was charged in
connection with the death of Gemmel Moore, whose 2017 overdose
first put Buck under public scrutiny, according to a news
release issued by the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles.

In their statement, federal prosecutors said Buck had “provided
narcotics to a series of other men, one of whom suffered two
overdoses several weeks ago.” He is expected to appear in
federal court later on Thursday.

Buck faces a minimum of 20 years in prison if convicted.

A debate over whether to charge Buck locally or federally had
brewed in recent days, according to one of the sources who spoke
to The Times.

This man was a predator. He’s now off the street. Now, of
course, he deserves and is entitled to a trial before a jury of
his peers, a fair trial at that. I hope he gets that. I hope
that jury does what I’d consider the right thing, and deliver
justice for the two men who died at Buck’s hand, and the third
who almost died.

Rolling Stone notes the far right, a group that generally
loathes gay people and really would love to line us all up and
shoot us (yes, really, and if they say they “love they sinner,
hate the sin”, they’re fucking 100% lying), is having a heyday
with this, especially those QAnon people. I do not care. Rolling
Stone also notes what I noted in 2017.

But the truth is that Buck’s arrest is significant because it
does point to a larger conspiracy — just not the one that far-
right trolls think. Members of the community have long argued
that Buck targeted vulnerable members of the community — men who
were HIV-positive or homeless or struggling with drug addiction
— for one specific, bone-chilling reason: because he believed he
could get away with exploiting them. And if the years of police
inaction regarding the allegations against Buck are any
indication, he was correct in this belief. The fact that it took
the deaths of two men to prove that is a tragic, shameful
reminder of just how much power men like Buck still wield, and
how little is shared by those our society deems disposable.

Yup. There’s others out there, who aren’t megadonors for the
party (or any party) who are predators, preying on the
vulnerable. It pleases me to see him headed to jail, hopefully
for the remainder of his life (he’s in his 60s. If convicted
federally he’s probably not coming out ever again). How many
others are there out there?
