In many countries, journalists who investigate political corruption or major crime figures get thrown into prison, gunned down or kidnapped — never to be heard from again.
In the United States, however, few people have been crazy enough or bold enough to assassinate a journalist to stop a story.
It has happened twice.
In 1976, when Arizona Republic Reporter Don Bolles was mortally wounded in a car bombing in Phoenix.
Then, on Aug. 2, 2007, when a brainwashed 19-year-old man with a sawed-off shotgun ambushed journalist Chauncey Bailey as he walked from a McDonald’s in downtown Oakland to his newspaper office.
Six months ago, Yusuf Bey IV, the leader of the now-defunct Your Black Muslim Bakery, was sentenced to life in prison for ordering two of his underlings to kill the 57-year-old editor of the Oakland Post and former Oakland Tribune reporter.
Bey IV wanted to stop Bailey from publishing a story about his illegal takeover of the bakery and its impending bankruptcy.
