Equal Time

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Equal Time

This guy seems to be most despicable. He'll probably get locked up for the rest of his life, where he can't kill more. It just goes to show: The Republicans do not have sole ownership of evil.

Democratic Donor Ed Buck Is Convicted In Deaths Of 2 Men He Offered Drugs For Sex

Image
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A federal jury on Tuesday convicted a wealthy California political donor on charges he injected gay men with methamphetamine in exchange for sex, leading to two deaths and other overdoses. Ed Buck, 66, was found guilty of all nine felony counts in federal court, which could lead to a life sentence. The verdict came exactly four years after one of the victims, 26-year-old Gemmel Moore, was found dead of an overdose in Buck's West Hollywood apartment.

"Today is bittersweet," LaTisha Nixon, Moore's mother, said after the verdict. "We got victory today." The jury deliberated for more than four hours after a two-week trial. A sentencing date has not yet been scheduled. Prosecutors said Buck paid men and provided drugs in return for sex acts. Buck had pleaded not guilty. His defense lawyers said neither fatal overdose victim died from meth and that many of the alleged victims were drug addicts.

Buck's attorneys — one of whom was a prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson case — did not immediately return a request for comment. Buck's 2019 arrest marked a turning point for activists who protested outside his apartment and pressured law enforcement to act after Moore died on Buck's floor in 2017.

Even after Timothy Dean, 55, died 18 months later, it took another nine months and the near-death of another overdose victim before Buck was arrested in September 2019. "This man did some terrible things to human beings," Joann Campbell, one of Dean's sisters, said after the verdict.

Or possibly that not all evil is related to politics.

For a while I was injecting Desoxyn, which is a trade name for methamphetamine hydrochloride, into unsuspecting chipmunks and other small animals but started feeling guilty about it and stopped, deciding to use the drug myself. Doing so was the inspiration for John Travolta uttering "I say goddamn; what a rush" in the "Broken Arrow" movie.

That's hardly fair to "hunters". The little bastards are already fast enough.

Shit, you should have heard them when they were hopped up on that pure speed.......it sounded like a bunch of crows caught in a net. Not to mention the horrible jerky movements. The whole time I was wishing I was in a car wreck.

Ya think?

I only mention politics because the article mentioned the murderer was a wealthy Democratic donor. He was checking the right political boxes. I think the lesson here is that those supporting good political causes don't necessarily lead good lives.

I quit speed decades ago. Enjoyed it at the time, but I recognized the dangerous temptation of it and my body ached too much from the overexertion the next day. Plus, I haven't been in a car wreck since my teens. Fail.

You are the one that created the straw man. Why are you patronizing O Really?

I dispute whether "wealthy Democratic donor" necessarily checks "the right political boxes", but that's a different discussion.

I dispute whether Dem pols are necessarily "good political causes", but that's a different discussion.

don't necessarily lead good lives.
Duh. Dems and their donors are just as prone to corruption, tax evasion, domestic abuse and other crimes, too.

It's tragic that you're too slow to comprehend plain English or too sackless to admit your failings, again.

Looks like Vrudey's been hitting the meth pipe again.

Explains a lot.

What part of "I quit speed decades ago," is unclear to you? Are you drunk or just stupid and desperate to deflect from your flubs?

Quite obviously you never quit, or you started it back up, probably last fall when you mysteriously disappeared and blamed your computer.

We're onto your tricks, you meth-head.

As usual, your idiot delusions give you an excuse to cower from accountability, and you're too stupid to realize that the only person you're fooling is yourself. Sad.

Good one!

But I suspect that's not what Billy meant.

I hope.

LOL.
