Murder In Oakland
August 4th 2007 General

A short time ago I noticed Debbie Schlussel advising that “Police said Friday ‘firearm evidence’ confiscated during a series of early morning raids, including one at a bakery linked to a black Muslim group, was connected to the slaying of Oakland journalist Chauncey Bailey.”

Weapons found were also connected to two previous killings.

Now, LGF links to a report that:

A 19-year-old handyman at Your Black Muslim Bakery admitted to police Friday night that he ambushed and killed Oakland Post editor Chauncey Bailey, investigators said.

Police said Devaughndre Broussard told them he killed Bailey because he was angry over stories the journalist had written about the bakery, its employees and leaders in the past. Investigators said Broussard also was concerned about stories that he thought Bailey might be working on.
Bailey had apparently been working on a story about the group and its finances, authorities said.

Not much has changed since Malcolm X was gunned down.

Moreover, the criminality outlined in the NYT account has distinct echoes of the violence and depravity within the Black Panthers during the 1960’s and 1970’s.
