Second Black Man Found Dead at Home of Democrat Megadonor


Protests have erupted outside the residence of wealthy Democratic donor Ed Buck after a second dead black man was found at the 65-year-old’s apartment in Los Angeles.

“Arrest Ed Buck, prosecute Ed Buck, and then a jury needs to convict Ed Buck,” activist Jasmyne Cannick said to the crowd gathering outside the California apartment Monday night. “This man has had two dead bodies in his house, and he is still in his house.”

Said another demonstrator: “This man is a danger to our community.”

Neighbors of Buck’s, who were drawn out of their homes as a result of the protest, said they have the same questions as everyone else and have made their own calls to police, according to FOX11.

Attorney Seymour Amster, Buck’s attorney, confirmed the most recent death to Fox News and said the unidentified victim was a “longtime friend” who had known Buck for 25 years. Amster said the victim “reached out for [Buck’s] help” Sunday night and began acting “in a bizarre way” after he arrived at Buck’s apartment.

“As far as we’re concerned, this is an accidental death,” said Amster, who added police had released the scene and Buck was not under arrest.

The man’s identity and cause of death have not been released.

“The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau has responded to the location and Investigators are conducting a thorough investigation,” police said in a statement obtained by Fox News.

A resident who lives in the area told KTLA she was walking her dogs around 12:15 a.m. Monday when she saw the individual enter Buck’s home.

“I woke up to find out that he didn’t come out,” she told the station.

The Sheriff’s Office also said they are now taking a second look at the death of Gemmel Moore — the male escort whose body was found in Buck’s apartment in July 2017 — in the wake of Monday’s discovery.

Buck, a well-known figure in LGBT political circles, has given more than $500,000 to a range of Democratic groups and candidates — including former President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.

So, $500,000 is enough to buy your way out of the responsibility for one dead black escort discovered at your home.

Is it enough for two?
