Sex, Politics, Meth and Death in West Hollywood
The Los Angeles County Coroner has reported the death of Gemmel Moore, 26, of an accidental meth overdose at 7:22 p.m. on July 27 at the West Hollywood home of high-profile Democratic Party donor and political activist, Ed Buck. The youth’s death reportedly occurred just hours after he left his family in Texas in order to join Buck.
While a case detail report filed by the medical examiner lists the manner of Gemmel Moore’s death as an “accident” and its cause as “methamphetamine use,” the deceased man’s mother told the WeHo Times that something more nefarious may have occurred in the short hours between when her son hopped on a plane using a ticket she says was purchased by the well connected Buck, and the moment he took his final breath.
“I called one of my son’s friends and was like, ‘who the hell is Edward Buck?'” LaTisha Nixon said, speaking from her home in Spring Texas during a phone interview. “And my son’s friend was like, ‘oh my God, that’s that white guy, that wealthy white politician guy… he was like ‘oh my God…’”
Buck, a one-time Republican, came to Southern California from Arizona several years ago and gained a reputation for making generous donations to the California and L.A. County Democratic Party and chair of Stonewall Democratic Club’s Political Affairs Committee.

“To shoot young guys up with who knows what is evil,” Nixon said. She believes the investigation might not have been pursued as vigorously because of Ed Buck’s position in this city.
“I honestly want him to go to jail and serve time to think about what he did.”

Typical gay West Hollywood sleaze. Meth head West Hollywood Mayor Jeffrey Prang getting gang-banged in Palm Springs many years back (now expunged from the Internet it seems). West Hollywood City Councilman John Duran hiring a much younger Grindr hookup as a deputy and proceeding to sexually harass him - leading a lawsuit and payout on the city's dime. It makes their constant virtue-signalling all the more loathsome. So much for gays being able to handle themselves in positions of authority...

Obviously she has lawyered up (citing the Drug Dealer Act Of 2005) ............. the guy was 26. I wonder how many witnesses Buck's lawyer will call to testify about Gemmel's drug use before they met and while Gemmel was living in another state.
Not saying it might not have happened (weird fetish), but I'm sure the autopsy can identify long term damage from drug use. The guy wasn't forced to do drugs every time he did them.
Mom will get a nice settlement to make it go away though.

I can't believe that Buck actually paid for a plane ticket for the kid to fly out. He lives in WeHo, surely there are a minimum of a 100 hustlers per night in the area who would welcome some PnP. His Grindr should have lit up like a million beacons, and outshined the Christmas tree at the Rockefeller Center.
Why fly out a hustler from Texas of all places, and not even a very attractive one, I might add? I wonder if he has a bad reputation with the local chickens?
His career is over.

If he had money at one time, he certainly doesn't anymore. He lives in a small, rent-controlled apartment in a neighborhood full of them.
He is a very strange man. Something's off about him. He looks like he's poz, seems perpetually angry and unhinged and I always got the distinct impression he was living on disability.

A lot of posters here need to read the article linked:
1. The mother KNEW her son was a sex worker
2. The son had been with Buck many tome, and Buck used him to procure young black street hustlers to give them drugs for the first time. Buck would get off on that.
3. They were all big into slamming. A look at some before and after pictures of the kid in the article make it fairly clear that the kid was deep into the habit.
4. One time, towards the beginning, the mother did receive a call from her son because some guy had injected him with something against his will. No clear proof if it was Ed Buck.
5. The son had a friend who was also a hustler from whose conversations with the mother after the kid's death we've learned a lot of the sordid details (see 2 and 3).
6. Sadly, there are no innocent victims and there were no pure first timers in this horrible-fated tale.
