The wealthy political activist and Democratic donor Ed Buck was sentenced to 30 years in prison on charges that he supplied and personally injected gay men with methamphetamine in exchange for sex, leading to two deaths and multiple other overdoses.
Buck, 67, was found guilty in July by a federal jury on all nine counts, including having a drug house, distributing methamphetamine and enticing men to travel for prostitution.
Thursday’s sentencing closes a long saga, involving Buck, who prosecutors say used his wealth and influence to prey on and exploit mostly vulnerable Black men for “party and play” encounters at his West Hollywood apartment. The encounters involved Buck paying men to use drugs, injecting large amounts and performing sex acts on them. Officials said Buck would inject methamphetamine with or without the men’s consent and sometimes when they were unconscious.
..Relatives and activists had pushed for Buck’s arrest since Moore died. They have said Buck escaped criminal charges for years because of his wealth, political ties and race.
Buck, who was nicknamed “Doctor Kevorkian”, had at least 10 victims and would sometimes drug them while they were unconscious, according to court filings. One victim said he was “unable to move” after Buck injected him with a tranquilizer. He added that later when Buck wanted him to leave his home, Buck “became frustrated and obtained a power saw from a closet, turned it on, and approached [the] victim with it”.
...Buck asked for leniency before he was sentenced, telling the court: “I ask that the court take a look at my life in total,” he said, according to the Los Angeles Times, rather than “the horrible caricature the government painted me as: a meth-fueled axe killer”.

Buck, a wealthy white man who was active in gay causes and animal rights issues has given more than $500,000, mostly to Democratic politicians and causes since 2000.
Will H->! be visiting him in gaol?
Mostly? Find the Republicans he gave to and you’ll find more infiltraitors (sic).
Supposedly these are all the politicians that Ed Buck gave money to and not one of them is a Republican.

Degenerate! Even I wouldn’t donate to democrat causes.
Ed will do just fine in prison
Wouldn’t it be a hoot if Biden were to pardon him?!
.
And Pedo Lincoln Project has Alexander Vindman, his wife, and sister-in-law on the Payroll.
Sense a pattern?
.
Did they check his property for buried bodies? He just happened to have a power saw in his closet?
Don’t be silly. /s
30 years? In prison? 67 years old? By the time he gets out he’ll be able to carry a bowling ball, bag and shoes, along with a big screen tv, no hands. DAMN! Man I mean just DAMN!
He murders two people and he isn’t even given a life sentence? Wow.
He almost got away with it until those pesky black family members made an issue of it. At that point law enforcement had to do something.
typical profile of Democrat contributors
Dems are really the SCUM OF THE EARTH!! Epstein, Weinstein, Buck, ALL huge donors to Dems no wonder these bastards are trying to groom our kids by grooming the kids in a few years the grown kids will see nothing wrong with this SCUM behavior!! It just amazes me the American public hasn’t seen through this SCUM years ago, like when Clinton was getting BJ’s from a young intern in the Oval Office!!
By their fruits, you shall know them.
The gay lifestyle isn’t very gay.
