      XPost: la.general, alt.politics.media, rec.arts.tv.comedy.colbert-report       XPost: dc.politics       From: more.democrat.nambla.degenerates@disney.com              https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2019/01/09/17/8321528-6573905-image-       a-6_1547055571738.jpg              https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2019/01/09/17/8321230-6573905-image-       m-12_1547055672514.jpg              Has Ed Buck paid for the silence of Democrats on his alleged       Tuskegee Experiment like fetish which includes shooting drugs       into young Black men that he picks up off the street or via       dating hookup websites?              The silence from L.A.’s Democratic community on the recent death       of a 26-year-old Black gay male escort in the West Hollywood       apartment of 63-year-old prominent Democratic political donor Ed       Buck has been astounding.              Gemmel Moore’s July 27 death, was immediately classified as an       accidental methamphetamine overdose by the coroner, but now the       Sheriff’s Department is taking a closer look after his personal       journal was published. Numerous young Black gay men have       stepped forward making allegations against Buck recounting       similar stories about a man who they say has a Tuskegee       Experiment like fetish which includes shooting drugs into young       Black men that he picks up off the street or via dating hookup       websites.              In his journal, Gemmel Moore wrote, “I honestly don’t know what       to do. I’ve become addicted to drugs and the worst one at that,”       a December entry reads. “Ed Buck is the one to thank. He gave me       my first injection of crystal meth it was very painful, but       after all the troubles, I became addicted to the pain and       fetish/fantasy.”              “My life is at an alltime [sic] high right now & I mean that       from all ways. I ended up back at Buck [sic] house again and       got munipulated [sic] into slamming again. I even went to the       point where I was forced to doing 4 within a 2day [sic] period.       This man is crazy and its [sic] sad. Will I ever get help?”              His last entry, dated Dec. 3, 2016, reads: “If it didn’t hurt so       bad, I’d kill myself, but I’ll let Ed Buck do it for now.              Buck has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democratic       causes and candidates over the years. His Facebook page boasted       dozens of photos of him with everyone from presidential       candidate Hillary Clinton to Governor Jerry Brown, Los Angeles       County Democratic Party and California Democratic Party chairman       Eric Bauman and even Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.                            In online ads soliciting young Black gay men, Buck has referred       to them as being a “6-foot” n-word. On his Facebook page, he       joked with friends using the n-word.                            Typically in politics, we try to distance ourselves from white       people who call Black people the n-word or use the n-word–not       protect them with our silence.              It’s troubling to see that so many Los Angeles area Democrats       have taken donations from a man who has allegedly stalked and       preyed on the most vulnerable of society. Just the fact that       the allegations have been made and reported on in news that       these politicians are most influenced by should–and normally       would–be enough for them to return their donations and issue       statements distancing themselves from the accused. But for the       most part nothing. Is it because Ed Buck is white? Is it       because he is white and gay? Is it because he often maxes out       on contributing to their campaigns? Is it because the accusers       are Black gay men? It it because the accusers are Black?              These are the questions that Democrats in Los Angeles should be       asking themselves about all of this.              Most of Los Angeles’ Democratic and LGBT community–which are       often one in same–has had nothing to say publicly about Moore’s       death. Politicians who have received thousands of dollars from       Buck over the years have been curiously silent. I can count on       one hand the number of people from the political party of       allies, coalition building and we’re stronger together who have       made a public call for a thorough investigation into Gemmel       Moore’s death in light of the numerous allegations that have       been made. As Democrats we are often the first to call on       Republicans to return money at the slightest hint of       impropriety–there seems to be a double standard when a       Democratic donor is involved in the wrongdoing.              And while there was no shortage of politicians in Los Angeles       falling over themselves to issue statements and be seen in the       media condemning the events of Charlottesville and President       Trump’s response to them–locally they have seemingly looked the       other way and conveniently ignored that one of their top donors       might be a serial predator who gets his kicks by drugging       vulnerable young Black gay men.                     [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
