News – Update on Your Black Muslim Bakery crimes

Thank God Michelle found out more on this one.

I had already covered this story before but it seems that it’s popping back up in the news again. In case you haven’t already been following this it involves the staffers of an establishment called “Your Black Muslim Bakery” (not real original are they?) and some of the people, if not all of them, are involved in the murder of a reporter who was writing a story on the establishment.

The criminally staffed bakery is now being shown to have been involved in Battery, Torture, Murder, and kidnapping. Looks like the place has quite a bit of a track record.  However, that part is old news….the NEW news is that some people are actually starting to come to the defense or aid to the tainted bakery.

Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums and U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee are not the only prominent East Bay politicians who, despite its tainted reputation, pledged support for Your Black Muslim Bakery by asking a bankruptcy judge not to dissolve the business to pay off creditors

Why would they support this place and try to keep it from being dissolved? I make a motion that the place be bulldozed immediately. Is there any good news coming out of this? Can we finally get justice?

Yusef Bey IV, his brother Joshua and another man were picked up in a police raid at the Your Black Muslim Bakery earlier this month. The raid happened one day after journalist Chauncey Bailey was murdered allegedly by a handyman at the bakery.

Bey and the others are charged with kidnapping a mother and her daughter last May. Bey was also charged with 12 counts of forgery connected to another case.

But Bey says he can’t afford a lawyer so one will be appointed to him. But since another defendant in the case is being represented by the Public Defender’s Office, a private attorney must be hired.

Ugh. So, that means the taxpayers (the ones whom these creeps have been hurting in more ways than one) are going to be responsible for defending him? Just dandy.
