It took almost three years, but Ed Buck is finally sitting in a jail charged with nine federal counts–including that he supplied the crystal meth that caused two overdose deaths and that he engaged in a pattern of soliciting Black men to consume drugs that he provided.
They say that patience is a virtue. Still, I can’t help but feel some kinda way about watching people who had very little to do with putting Ed Buck behind bars and getting justice for his victims taking advantage of the situation all the while continuing to exploit his victims and taking opportunities from those who actually did the work.
