California political donor indicted for 2 overdose deaths at his home (Ed Buck)

A federal grand jury on Wednesday indicted Democratic donor Ed Buck in the deaths of two black men who overdosed in his home in West Hollywood, according to The Associated Press

The indictment, issued Wednesday in U.S. District Court, charges Buck with distributing methamphetamine that led to the deaths of Gemmel Moore in 2017 and Timothy Dean in January. Buck is also charged with distributing the drug to three more men, one of whom also overdosed nonfatally.

Prosecutors claim Buck deliberately targeted young gay men in the West Hollywood area, taking advantage of homeless people and addicts in particular, and coerced them into allowing him to inject them with drugs, according to the AP.

Buck was arrested in September after local activists extensively criticized local authorities for failing to take action after the earlier deaths.

Maybe justice will be served?

It seemed odd to me, that two men died in his house under suspicious circumstances, yet until now, there was no legal action taken.

He “victimized” gay men. As if HE isn’t gay. Same myths about John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and the Orlando shooter.

Adam Schiff on the left, Ed Buck on the right.

They have "some" similar interests.

It will be difficult to prove he deliberately killed anyone if they were injecting and taking drugs themselves.

It will be a light sentence.

Notice that there's no statements from Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, NAACP, or Black Lives Matter.

Also Buck had a sick fetish of black men wearing long john underwear

Death by misadventure but if he provided illegal drugs there could be greater culpability.

Doesn’t have to be deliberate under federal statues. If they can prove you provided drugs to someone who overdosed, you are screwed. No less than 20 years [21 USC 841(b)(1)(A)]. Now, obviously the prosecutors need to bring that to light and offer proof...so he may end up pleading to something less, but he’s got some significant exposure at present.

Left donor, above the law until it got to hot in the kitchen and the left pushed him away. If it didn’t come to light this “leftist elitist white privileged old guy’ would be still raping drugging and killing young black men. NO HEADLINES HERE, WE NEED YOU TO SHUV IT UNDER THE RUG MEDIA
