That Was No Handyman, He Was A "Soldier"

h/t Ed Driscoll, I'll leave the links and story to Classical Values.

But when the murderer of Chauncey Bailey confessed, he didn't do it as a "handyman." His confession appears to have been sanitized by the media.

OAKLAND — In his confession to police, 19-year-old Devaughdre Broussard told detectives he considered himself "a good soldier" when he shot and killed journalist Chauncey Bailey for writing negative stories about Your Black Muslim Bakery, where Broussard was a member and worked as a handyman, authorities said.

Broussard, who also uses the spelling Brossard, was formally booked Saturday on suspicion of murder. He was already on probation for a robbery conviction in San Francisco, and also had a pending case on charges of assault with a firearm from a 2006 San Francisco incident. A failure-to-appear warrant was out for his arrest in that case.

I'd bet money "Red Ron" Dellums was running interference for this crew with the local police.

I bet this 'soldier' wished that he had become a 'handyman' instead.

Yes, Mr christanfordmum, and Broussard or Brossard (never trust a man who can't spell his own name) is probably wishing he were a soldier. Yours, Fred Beloyt.
