PLEASE look into the connection between YBMB and the murder of Mike Wills. This person was liked by everyone, and there were hundreds of people at his funeral, etc to pay their respects. Please investigate this further. There are alot of people that would like to see the people who did this be put behind bars. Keep up the good work. Thanks for your courage and tenacity…Please keep pursuing this organization.

I was gifted to work with him on T.V and Radio as well he would bless me and grant us openning remarks each year when I hosted the Oakland, Ca Juneteenth festival at foothill Square mall. Mr. Bailey was a great mentor to me and influnece for many as i. When we worked at the late great Chuck Johnsons Soulbeat T.V. network for over 10 years, Cahuncey displayed a man called to work the best with what he was given. A true leader dealing with the news team he created and a grand reporter when interviwing be it live on the air .t.v. radio and our face to face with the talent I learn more then I expected from each of them. We shall miss the good gift his life was shared by thousands even millions. I rememebr we prayed for him one morning leading him to Jesus Christ. There where too people whom walked in the studio while we were on .t.v. live, with host Mr. Young Turner on the award winning show of the year Gospelbeat call in, it was into the second hour of the program when God allowed me to reconized this couple of african american desent they seemed to be on drugs Lord forgive me yet nobody wonted to here them so I walked away from the show and went out side and they cryed. Nobody will listen to us! They shouted I calmed them down the lady was so affriad he was hurt” The man stated, there is a man in his car on bancroft and 73rd in front of the gas station in need of help! This was in Oakland ,Ca God blessed us to go see as i informed my collueges and oh my God there Mr. Bailey was kneeled over and stuck in his car on the floor. Well Jesus is Lord and the holy spirit helps us to recover him and walk him back across the street into the soulbeat network building. After he said he was ok and thanks be to God. He did not wont to call 911 he explained to us what it was an he then excepted us sharing with him the sinners prayer and he repented according to the Holy Bibles teachings.John 3:16 After he rested Mr. Bailey joinned our live program and thanked us and shared what just happen no the viewer had no ideal previously and we were going to cover him of any shame. Yet again he stood up as a leeader and told the story as only Mr. Chauncey Bailey could. Mr. dangerfield I shall truly miss him. I was able to record thee entire home going servie of mr Chuck Johnson and Mr. Chauncey Bailey. I pray the Lord to heal each of us and allow us to go about doing good works that we may leave a past of Love and a body of works that out weigth the worngs we all are gulity of. God bless you for the family thanks for this moment in time. Rememeber to see him again is to know Jesus as Lord and savior. And thats the good news a relationship. take care please!

Comment on Police reopen 1968 Santa Barbara mosque slaying investigation by Judith Wright

I think that the police are graspimg for straws if they have gone back 40 years to try to link the killing of Chauncy Baily to the killings in Santa Barbara.. I know some of the Bey family and they did not practice violence. True the younger Beys have shown a tendency towards violence, they are the ones who need to be looked at.

I have followed the Chauncey Bailey murder story, which exposes the dangers investigative journalists are facing. Coming from an African continent where stories of intimidation, threats and disappearance of investigative journalists are rife, I entirely support the Chauncey Bailey Project.

Journalists and editors can never be free of external pressures. Yet, the physical threats and intimidations must not be allowed to go without notice and, when appropriate, actions in civil and criminal courts.

I’ve been in countries, Cuba, Mexico, Vietnam, and others, where a free press is non-existent. The quality and longevity of life, as well as hope that things will be better in the future, are less than what human beings deserve and need to flourish.

I support the Chauncey Bailey Project and hope that I may be of some service in crunching numbers that may show patterns of activities that increased the probability that Bailey was murdered.

I only knew of him by reading his stories. It’s sad that a great reporter and writer can be stolen from the reades by thugs. Mr. Bailey worked in the best spirit of the old Oakland Tribune. I remember visiting the tower when Maynard had it and feeling sad at how it had changed when I went back twenty five years later. I wish I had time to help with following the trail he started down, but blessings to all who do.

JUSTICE FOR CHAUNCEY
I agree with Cobb, and a large swath of the community that cared about Chauncey believes as I do, namely that the CB Project is selling papers on Chauncey’s name, the last paragraph says it all. It started out as his last story now conveniently it has morphed into also the “sprawling Bey family”

Your not slick, the use of the word “sprawling” denotes your intentions to smear and denigrate the “family” even though according to all evidence on the investigative table only Yusuf IV is connected. By that fascist logic if someone commits a crime in a persons family you give yourself license to investigate the whole family.

Stay focused, the teenagers “holed up” in the Bakery were allowed to fester by OPD, the Feds and what ever other police state agency. Find out what Jerry Brown knew, the investigation started under his administration. Do a story on how a 19 year old can be on 4 bails simultaneously with out “official help”. Stop focusing on things that have nothing to do with Chauncey’s murder or shut down

Murder and intimidation of journalists have become an alarmingly common practice among those who prosper under cover of darkness.

Normally, the preferred method of control in the United States is to reach into the newsroom and edge the threat into a marginal job. But violence is also an option, as the Bailey case shows.

The press must fight to preserve its integrity. One way to do that is to keep the heat on this case.
