Man frustrated with heart-wrenching stories being shared about #EdBuck chose to sit in the street with his candle (smart NO) but the more this story sinks in the more outrageous it feels. Sheriff appeared to arrest him which obviously didn’t go over well (cont)
If you’re going to sit in the street its the Sheriffs job to protect the people but the fact that it was in front of an apt where drugs and dead black men keep appearing with ZERO arrests is..🤷🏼♀️You can hear Gemmel’s grandmother as why they ignored him when he went to police.
At this point Gemmel’s friends went into the street and that’s when they closed the block and backed off which is (to their credit) a tempered way to handle it. BTW no violence, no threats just people chanting “arrest #EdBuck” 
But here’s the disturbing part, people went to check on candle guy further up the block in back of squad car. The Sheriff’s explained they weren’t arresting him just trying to keep peace. The obvious question was raised WHAT ABOUT BUCK?
And the LEO’s were as frustrated as we were! One said off the record that internally they all want to know the same?! It was at this point 20+ squad cars showed up which, living in this area, I’ve only seen when the President is here.
The LEO’s honestly did seem as frustrated as a lot of us, so WHO the f**k is protecting this POS? It’s someone high level, as I left an unmarked car pulled up and officers sort of stiffened up so somebody is pulling the strings. This city is gone😞
I do not condone sitting in the street but the coverup happening in front of our faces makes you want to wave your arms like you’re on fire and the problem is, THERE IS NO ONE to go to. The @TheJusticeDept needs to step in. #ArrestEdBuck
The whispers among people there continue to be that there are more victims. One man has been documenting missing posters of men posted in the neighborhood and claimed they never stay up, he scrolled through at least a dozen on his phone.
Gemmel’s entire family flew in (no thanks to any of the fake politicians returning money BTW) and his mother is gutted because her only goal exposing him was to never let it happen again and it did. How many? What is happening in WEHO?
Another desperate mom looking for her son in Weho, sure looks like Ed’s type. 😞
This can’t be normal?
Young gay men flock to weho, for many it’s the first place they are free to express who they are. They are a perfect target, chances are high you’ll find many estranged from family and cost of living here is absurd if not impossible. It’s basically a hunting ground.
People there have called Jackie Lacey (DA) and she isn’t accepting phone calls about it! Probably because she would have to document it, her office’s suggestion is to write an official request, a famous woman (royalty here) even called and same answer.
