Passing the Buck

Well, Ed Buck is in trouble, and his federal arraignment and bail review hearing was passed to 11 October, after he waived speedy arraignment.

Meanwhile, the media raises the question why it took so long for officials to act, as local homeless men commonly referred to Buck as "Dr. Kevorkian."  I am sure that whatever it was, it had nothing to do with him being an LGBTQ "activist" or a major democratic donor, in California.  Probably the people who investigate the deaths of marginalized homeless gay black men were just busy with other things.

His Name is "Buck" . . .

There was good news and bad news for LGBTQ "activist" and major Democratic donor Ed Buck.  The good news was that his "activism" has finally helped convince mainstream society that gay black lives matter.  The bad news was that, as a consequence, Buck found himself in police custody, due to the gay black men who have been found dead in his house as a result of drug overdoses.

Buck is accused of enticing homeless gay black men to his home with money and drugs, then doping them up and sexually exploiting them.  It appears to be especially problematic that some of them have not survived.  Police searching the premises reportedly uncovered a large cache of photographs, showing men thought to be prior victims in "compromising positions."  The media coverage also suggests that the local LGBTQ community has turned against Buck, due to his alleged history of predation. 

At least Buck can take solace in having elevated the rights and standing of local gays to the point that they can potentially help put him away for a long stretch in prison.  Well done, Buck, well done!
