The Oakland Post.......dead?

Well walking around In Downtown Oakland, Who did I see but Paul Cobb, I think he's the publisher or owner of the Oakland Post.We were in a Downtown newspaper place. I was looking for a copy of the Oakland post, which I couldn't find. Cobb was talking to a friend, didn't look too happy. I finally got a chance to talk with him, I asked him "I hope your not thinking about giving up?"

He said, "as a matter of fact he was", he has been getting death threats everyday, The police are all over his house, around his neighborhood. They even threatened to kill his wife.

Cobb is worried because a killer took out his chief editor Chauncey Bailey, in broad daylight with a shotgun. the killer may have had ties with "Your Black Muslim Bakery", affiliated with the Nation of Islam in Oakland ,Calif. This was supposedly over a story the post was going to publish.

Well what did Chauncey do to get the owners of that bakery do upset. "Not much", he said, the story was public domain, the records he obtained in Bankruptcy court.

I mentioned to Cobb that some think that basically its a frame-up, or set-up that the Nation of Islam, and the bakery is being made to be the bad guys. How often do the police come up with murder suspects one day after a murder, with a confession?
Maybe this is just a ploy to run black people out of Oakland(It would surely work).
Cobb said looked up and said ,"could be...". I then asked if The FEDS were involved in this case. He said, "They are involved some".

Although the Bakery in Oakland is not officially affiliated with the Nation of Islam, I asked is the nation of Islam interested in this case, after all it their reputation on the line here, Cobb said "No".

Then I told Cobb, I had a blog, and I got to tell him alittle about my story and he took alittle interest in it, and gave me his card.

The last thing Oakland needs is closing down of one of its small Black Newspapers, after all what is the byline on the newspapers header?

"Without vision the people will perish"
