Original article:

Another body was found at the home of Democrat mega-donor Ed Buck, just a little over a year after a male escort died in the same apartment.

An attorney for Buck, Seymour Amster, said the unidentified victim was known to him, a “longtime friend” of over 25 years. According to Amster, the man reached out to Buck for help and began acting “in a bizarre way” when he showed up at the apartment.

Signs point to the man being high on substances according to the lawyer, though it remains to be determined if he used those substances prior to arriving as Amster suggests, or otherwise.

“As far as we’re concerned, this is an accidental death,” he claimed.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is probing the death, while Amster said his client has not been arrested as the investigation gets underway.

The First Death

In July of 2017, a 27-year-old male escort, Gemmel Moore, was found dead in Buck’s apartment from what was determined to be a methamphetamine overdose.

According to Fox News, Moore’s death was originally ruled an accident, though the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office would later re-open it after finding writings in his diary implicating Buck in his drug use.

“If it didn’t hurt so bad, I’d kill myself, but I’ll let Ed Buck do it for now,” Moore wrote regarding the drug use which he pinned on the Democrat donor in previous entries.

Prosecutors had declined to file charges at the time.

Activists Angered Over the Death of a Second Black Man

Activists are dismayed over the fact that in a two-year time span, two black men have wound up dead at Buck’s residence. ABC 7 reports that they are “calling for his arrest and said this second overdose was preventable.”

“It’s clear that there’s a pattern and a practice of Ed Buck to prey on vulnerable, young black gay men who are homeless, who are HIV positive, who he can manipulate with his money – and they end up dead inside his house,” one activist claimed.

The evidence isn’t quite there to link the death to Buck as of yet and the investigation will have to play out. But these activists clearly believe where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

Crowds outside Buck’s home even turned the gathering into a Black Lives Matter protest.

Buck is a Huge Hillary Donor

According to various reports, Buck has donated well over $500,000 to a host of prominent Democrats, including Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, former president Barack Obama, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

THIS IS INSANE “Community activists have accused LA officials of declining to prosecute Buck in 2017 thanks to his contributions to powerful politicians like Hillary Clinton, CA gov Brown, L.A. mayor Garcetti, and numerous local W Hwood councilmembers.”https://t.co/8e4CrLV1Sc — Caleb Hull (@CalebJHull) January 7, 2019

Can you imagine if two different black men wound up dead at the home of a Republican donor? And those deaths resulted in Black Lives Matter protests outside that person’s residence? The mainstream media coverage would be wall-to-wall.

City Council members have requested that newly elected Sheriff Alex Villanueva put a priority on investigating the new death, according to Wehoville, while another councilmember, Lauren Meister, has pressed for the homicide division to investigate.
