March 2019
On January 7, a black man named Timothy Dean was found dead in the West Hollywood home of Ed Buck, a prominent Democratic donor who came under investigation a year and a half ago when another black man, Gemmel Moore, died in his apartment.
In the immediate aftermath of the second death, Los Angeles activists organized protests, demanding justice for the two men in front of Buck’s house; they believe that law enforcement failed to fully investigate Buck in 2017 because of his close ties to elected officials, as well as differences in race and class.
And, on March 25, the Los Angeles Police Department revealed information that made Buck appear to be all the more suspicious: that Dean’s cause of death was the same as Moore’s in 2017: accidental meth overdose.
What do we know happened?
According to the Los Angeles Times, Timothy Dean, 55, died in Buck’s apartment on Laurel Avenue sometime between midnight and 2 a.m.
Paramedics attempted CPR on him, but he was declared dead on the scene. ...”

“Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu took in $19,400 in state and federal donations from Buck.
Lieu’s campaign says after the second death at Buck’s home, they donated the contributions they received to various charities.
Buck gave Adam Schiff, now chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, $2,700 in 2016.
The campaign says the money went to the nonprofit Trevor Project.”

I thought all that “human trafficking” stuff was just conspiracy theory from right wingnuts.
Ed Buck, the California Democratic megadonor suspected in the deaths of two black men who suffered fatal crystal methamphetamine overdoses in his home 18 months apart, is now facing allegations of human trafficking and revenge porn, according to a new report.
The Daily Beast reported that the family of 26-year-old Gemmel Moore has made the new allegations as part of an ongoing civil case against Buck, who has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic Party candidates in California and is well known in LGBTQ political circles. Moore died of a methamphetamine overdose in July 2017. He was found naked on a mattress in Buck’s living room, which was littered with drug paraphernalia.
The complaint by Moore's family previously alleged that Buck injected Moore with crystal meth and required Moore to view “hardcore gay male pornography which played loudly on a large flatscreen television set,” while engaging in sex acts, according to the Beast.
The latest allegation from Moore's family claims that Buck “knowingly utilized interstate commerce for the purpose of recruiting, enticing and transporting” Moore from Texas to Los Angeles, for “commercial sex acts.”

Perhaps justice will be done.
The rich and powerful are rarely called to account while on this earth.
But perhaps this will be an exception.
It depends on what sort of convincing proof exists, and how much noise the victims’ advocates can generate.

NXIVM, Epstein, Ed Buck — I don’t know how directly all of these things may be, but there is a whole bunch of very bad stuff coming out all at once. At some point, average Americans might actually sit up on their couches and say, “What the heck is going on with the Elite who run this country?”
I thought you pretty much had to be a human trafficker, pederast or narcotics cartel chieftain to be a Democratic mega-donor.
‘The amended complaint alleges that Buck “regularly solicits sex from black men in exchange for temporary housing and/or monetary compensation,”’
If it’s illegal to let someone “shack up” with you in exchange for sex, then a whole lot of heterosexuals are in trouble too.

That said Buck should be executed...but won't happen in Calif.
Why he is still free...is a question.
