What is the point of this story and showing text msgs with personal home / security information? These guys are two consenting adults that know EXACTLY what they are getting themselves into. If the point is to embarrass Mr. Buck for a life style that he is aware he lives, then I say fail! He is a grown man and if he is an addict than it’s on him to seek help, not for us to shame him publicly! What’s the point in using the term, “young black man” in the header? Is in not bad enough that he was… Read more »

Todd Bianco, you’re right about that. Meth use causes impaired judgment that persists long after you stop using it. It destroys people before they’re aware.

Hey Chris and SaveWeHo, I’m with ya! SaveWeHo — just because someone posts a photo of guy using illegal drugs and copies of text messages that he sends to young prostitutes looking for sex and drugs doesn’t mean he’s guilty. I’m betting he’s a saint with one of those autocorrect typing problems. He probably was seeking prayer instead of sex. And Chris, you are so right. Gay men who do illegal drugs and pay poor young kids to shoot up meth into their arms are doing it in the privacy of their homes. Why is this anyone’s business? We gays… Read more »

And what is the point of this article other than showing that two consensual adults (one being a prostitute) engaged in sex or fetish play? Sure, illegal drugs were used but that isn’t really the point here. Moore’s death is sad. But unless Buck was injecting these guys against their will…I dont understand why this is being sensationalized.

Sad, but this is consensual adult behavior with illegal (but common) drugs. That Buck has his own kinks (hardly unique) was known, this shows he isn’t smart enough to stop when it would be smart to do so. It doesn’t as far as I can tell indicate he is guilty in the unfortunately deceased man’s death. None of this is to deny the potential and the reality that wealthy white gay men take advantage of less well off minority gays. But this is beginning to feel more like this is accompanied by an agenda that is unclear and potentially threatening… Read more »

Too bad this tragedy is being sensationalized for media attention. Everyone is innocent until proven otherwise. Let the chips fall wherever they may & get out of the way

What’s the “big deal”???? If we had to write a story of each person who use meth in west hollywood, we will have a full magazine. it’s absolutely not an issue we care enough about, we have a council member who know enough about METH and do nothing… too busy worry about his “sit” and we keep voting for him. METH is a huge problem in our city, especially with GAY MEN. So, it’s about time that we slow down our developments, and start taking care of our residents lives. LIFE IS A CHOICE, WE ALL KNOW BETTER! UNTIL WE… Read more »
If he’s a crystal meth addict, he won’t be able to stop. I don’t know if he is or isn’t, but there’s lots of first hand testimony from men he’s had sex with that he is. Did anyone expect him to stop? This isn’t going to end well.
