Democrat donor Ed Buck gets 30 years in prison for fatally killing 2 men with meth

Buck

Los Angeles -- Ed Buck, 67, is a big buck donor to Democratic, LGBTQ+~%57varieties and animal rights causes. However, he is also a murderer and even after two dead gay men were found in his apartment, the Buck didn't stop there--he continued injecting gay men with super high doses of methamphetamine.

Buck was sentenced Thursday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles to 30 years "for providing fatal doses of drugs, operating a drug den and enticing men to travel for prostitution." 

"Buck used his money and privilege to exploit the wealth and power imbalances between himself and his victims, who were unhoused, destitute, and/or struggling with addiction," Assistant U.S. Attorney Chelsea Norell said in a court filing. "He spent thousands of dollars on drugs and party and play sessions that destroyed lives and bred insidious addictions."

Prosecutors asked for a life sentence for Buck, but his lawyers requested a decade behind bars, saying he was sexually abused as a child and health problems led to his drug addiction, an excuse as old as the lie "abortion is health care." 

Attorneys Mark Werksman and Elizabeth Little said the judge should go below the 25-year sentence recommended by probation officials that would allow rehabilitation and treatment and "would be much preferable [for Buck, not the victims' families] to relegating him to death in prison." 

Buck, a wealthy gay man who worked as a male model and then made a fortune selling an Arizona company he rescued from bankruptcy, helped lead a 1987 campaign to recall Republican Arizona Gov. Evan Mecham, who was ultimately convicted in an impeachment trial and kicked out of office.

Buck retired at 32 to the city of West Hollywood, known for its large LGBTQ+~%57varieties community, where he lived in a rent-controlled apartment that could have gone to a family who needed it more. In spite of his frugal diggs, the scumcrumpet donated over $500,000 to mostly Democratic causes since 2000.

But his current trouble began when Gemmel Moore, a gay guy, was found dead in his rent controlled apartment on July 27, 2017. Buck had flown Moore from Texas that morning to engage in drug use, and by sunset, Moore was dead.

Moore's mother, LaTisha Nixon, wrote a letter to the court saying she hoped Buck would get the maximum sentence for ruining her life and the suffering it has caused her family. There is nothing worse than your own child being senselessly killed.

"All I can think about is how my son died naked on a mattress with no love around him," Nixon said. "No one to hold his hand or tell him good things."

Community activists and others rallied outside Buck's rent-controlled apartment, calling for his arrest, but that was not yet happening. Family members and Jasmyne Cannick, a political strategist, complained that Buck escaped prosecution because of wealth, political ties and race, much like Hunter Biden has at this point in time.

While Buck was under investigation in Moore's death, he continued to pay gay men so he could inject them. 

He texted a man, Timothy Dean, to express his annoyance over the investigation, much like Patrisse Cullors a BLM co-founder annoyed that the IRS is investigating her for allegedly buying a multi-million dollar home with "zero" income.

About 18 months after Moore's death, deputies were called to Buck's apartment on Jan. 7, 2019, to investigate Dean's death.

But even after Dean's death, Buck was not arrested, much like Hillary Clinton over the Russian hoax.

"Buck's lack of remorse is aptly captured in one image: As he was hiding out in a hotel, evading arrest for Gemmel Moore's death, he was injecting Dane Brown, another young, gay Black man, with back-to-back slams of methamphetamine," Norell said.

Brown was homeless and later moved into Buck's apartment, where Buck injected him with meth most days and often at a rate that Hunter Biden takes selfies when he's high with prostitutes. 

Brown was hospitalized on September 4, 2019, after Buck shot him up three times with back-to-back doses. He had five times the meth in his system that Moore and Dean had when they died, prosecutors said.

So it's obvious that Buck is not merely a Democrat, he's a really stupid one, thinking he was judgment-proof as he continued to perpetrate the same behavior that killed Moore.

Brown returned from the hospital less than a week later and felt himself overdosing after Buck again injected him three times with meth. Like other victims who testified against Buck at trial last summer, Brown was nearly immobilized. He said Buck wouldn't help him.

"Brown sat on the couch, resigned to the same fate as Moore and Dean, when he heard his deceased mother cry out to him, 'Get up, Dane,'" Norell said.

Brown, weak and 'out of gas' managed to get out of the apartment and made it to a nearby gas station. He called for help and was taken to a hospital.

It was Brown's account of his twice being revived that led to Buck's bust.

He will likely spend the rest of his life in prison.
