Ed Buck Sentenced to Prison for 30 Years

Good. Scumbag/freak.

I knew Ed when he lived in Phoenix up in a mansion on Squaw Peak. He deserves this. Believe me.

Will he make it out alive?

Let's hope he will be fully rehabilitated when he is released from prison at 97 years old.

Don't post and run. Paint a picture for us.

Die POS die.

30 years, that's it?

Ed will enjoy prison, that's too bad.

30 years for two counts of distribution of meth?

He'll be in heaven. Prison is, BY FAR, the best place to pick up black dudes. All sizes, all complexions, and sooooo many in one place at one time.

He has lived a life Lindsey Graham could only dream off having.

You can bet R10 is what Buck fantasizes about.

It probably will be more like the demise of Gibson’s character at the end of Braveheart.

30 years sounds harsh for what is basically a weekend in the Pines. There are old men like him everywhere.

He deserves it though.

Good thing Mr. Ed Buck likes rough black trade, cause there's going to be plenty where he's going...

In the US you are either a hyped hero or a total monster. There is nothing in between. He was addicted to meth, for Christ’s sake, as were his victims. Meth makes you a total immoral monster.

So sad.

I'm assuming that both guys were getting paid.

Why else would you bother with this guy. Drugs are everywhere and don't come with a creeper attached.

Drugs can do terrible things to you. Prior to his meth addiction, all was fine

Tomato tomahto. He wasn’t so bad.

Where's his money from?

The slave trade, judging by his company.

Last night’s Law and Order was RIPPED from this story’s headlines.

Good!

Ed is a POS.

Ed looks terrible. He won’t last long anywhere, let alone in prison.

Dont defend him. After ONE person overdoses in your home, you stop. Let alone a second one dying.

He's a piece of shit. He should really done the honorable thing.

To die?

I wonder if he'll be kept in segregation because of the possibility of jailhouse justice from righteously angry black inmates? Either way is alright with me; kept isolated for the rest of his miserable existence or beaten to death by black inmates.

Yes, Ed Buck certainly did have a thing for BBC.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R20 I've often wondered the same thing. What was his actual profession? He founded a business called "Gopher Courier" in the eighties which is long gone, somehow made a fortune off of that, then began funnelling money into political campaigns. He was originally an "actor and model" (escort.)

Gopher Courier sounds like it probably provided service on the Gopher system, which was an early version of the internet used by academic institutions in the eighties. The World Wide Web replaced it.

So Ed Buck had no known income source after 1993.

Law & Order did a RIPPED from the headlines last night

Why is his major descriptor by CNN "Democratic donor," never mind the DM's "Democratic mega-donor"? I mean, I know what the intended implication is---birds of a feather---but still, why?

Is he nothing else? Can he not just be called "billionaire"?

Are wealthy criminals who give money to Republicans initially described as "Republican donor"?

R33 He didn't have an actual job.

Or you move.

I'm happy that he's going to prison. However, rich guys like Buck are infamous for being able to buy whatever they want in prison, from protection to sex. So, I hope someone just kills him.

R33 I used to live in California and he was very active in Democratic politics there. It's basically what he was known for before he started killing men.

He did love animals, so there’s one bright spot in his favor.

"Edward Bernard Peter Buck (né Buckmelter; August 24, 1954) is an American convicted felon and businessman. A former model and actor, he made a significant amount of money running and selling the data service company Gopher Courier. He became involved in politics after the election of Evan Mecham as Governor of Arizona in 1986; Buck, an Arizona native, led the effort to recall him from office, accusing him of racism and corruption. The experience led Buck to change his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat, and he has since donated heavily to Democratic politicians. In 2007, he ran an unsuccessful campaign for the city council of West Hollywood, California."

"In his interview with Montini, Buck said he worked for the Arizona franchise of Rapid Information Services, a business owned by a friend that provided driver’s license information to insurance companies. Despite his lack of business experience, and the business’s poor financial situation (his friend ran it out of a one-bedroom apartment), Buck saw great potential in it. A year and a half after joining and helping build the business, Buck bought it out of bankruptcy for $250,000 and renamed it Gopher Courier. Five years later he sold it for what he said in another interview was “more than a million dollars profit.”

Keep in mind Ed Buck "pocketed" millions before selling Gopher Courier.

Megadonor? Hadn't he only donated like 30k?

Did Buck attend college?

Yes, but only so he cold get close to the basketball team.

R42 What did he do all day, then?

I don't know him.

I blame the victims. They were 100% trash.
