3 overdoses is a charm. He should have been charged after the 1st person died. Meth is a wonderful drug, ain't it?

It takes more than 2 people dying in your home from overdose to get a search warrant and find evidence of criminality? Hard to say where the vulnerabilities lie without knowing what the process was after death 1 and 2 to look into things a little more.

FYI meth is not anywhere near as routinely dangerous as heroin/opioids overall. It is not required, but generally takes a very large overdose to risk dying.

I’m curious to know whether any current D lawmakers/candidates or PACs were still taking his money after the first 2 deaths were widely reported. Perhaps if right wing media employed any competent, credible journalists we could find out...

Searching the FEC database shows nothing. Maybe I suck at searching but I didn't get any heavy hitters searching for "Buck", Los Angeles, and West Hollywood. Maybe he has an organization that he fronts his money through.

This isn't about right wing media. Left wing media has reported this as well. Fact of the matter is, this guy appears to be a bad guy and maybe justice will finally touch him.
