Activist Kabaka Oba Has Died

LAST UPDATE: 4/15/2006 6:53:35 PM

We have just learned a local activist has died.

Kabaka Oba passed away Saturday at University Hospital.

Kabaka Oba, whose real name is Michael Bailey, was shot several times outside Cincinnati City Hall Wednesday afternoon.

The man accused of shooting Kabaka Oba, Howard Beatty, 52, is still locked up on more than a $1 million bond.

Beatty currently faces an attempted murder charge. That charge most likely will be upgraded to murder.

Kabaka Oba had recently taken out a restraining order against Beatty.

Police say it was issued because of an ongoing dispute between the two men.

Howard's brother, George, tells us a recent interview on Cable Access Television is what pushed his brother over the edge.

"I looked at him and said if you shoot me you're going to jail," said Kabaka Oba. "And I will have my sodomite friends make sure they tuck you into bed at night."

You may recall, Kabaka Oba referred to himself as "General" of the Black Fist organization. The movement frequents city council meetings and regularly disrupts proceedings.

According to court documents, Beatty is scheduled to appear in court April 21st.

He knows now whether his world view was right, or wrong.

I trust he was suitably dissapointed.

I further pray that he finds peace in the knowledge that God loves him and forgives his sins.

Sheds some light on what exactly the "Black Fist Organization" was up too.

I never understood what the whole deal was with Junebugs restaurant. Did Kabaka even have a job besides appearing before city council every week?

I have to admit, whenn I first heard he had been shot, my first reaction was, he hired someone to wound him, then I heard the details of how many times he was hit, etc.

Cincinnati has had these problems for years. It's probably the most divisive city in America.

I live in downtown Cincinnati and all is quiet.... so far. The droopy drawred, white t-shirted youths are always looking for a reason to fly off at the handle. I just hope they missed the evening news.

good riddance...

as my city turned to New Detriot,the local talk radio gave this guy hours and hours of airtime over the years,I guess they thought he was funny,or good for ratings,as he spewed his hateful rhetoric.I guess thats ok,he was a black activist...and its funny to the rado station guys out in their comfy,sterile suburbs.To us folk behind the lines in the city,his words served to incite those already prone to violence,to see an enemy in every white face.Perhaps McConnel and Cunningham would consider giving some time to his opposite viewpoint holder,wait,that would be racisssst...

wonder if the taxpayers will get to foot the bill for his extensive hospital expenses?sure,why not...

I grew up in Boston during busing in the '70s. But you're right. Cincy is the 21st century Boston when it comes to racial tensions.

WDBZ.. the Buzz radio station makes sure it stays that way. According to them, every black person is a victim and every white person is spending every waking hour concocting ways to screw them over.

I doubt anything will come of this... it was personal between these people. It was interesting to see the footage of the City Council abruptly adjourn and scatter at the sound of gunfire out in the street. Hope this wakes them up.

General Kabaka Oba was crazy, but he has every right to be crazy. Nobody deserves to be killed for their views. I hope Howard Beatty goes to jail for the rest of his life.

Beatty's lawyer is claiming self-defense. Let's see: Beatty was driving along in his car, jumped out of the car, emptied his gun on Kabaka who was sitting in his car unarmed, and then got back in his car and drive away. I don't think that defense is going to work.

I have listened to this moron on local radio for years, where they invite him in to spew his evil venom and hatred and we all have a good laugh at what a sad, bitter man he was. The "General" was twenty times the bigot, and fifty times the racist of any white Southern cracker that walked the earth.

As of now, by the Bible as I understand it, he is probably beyond God's forgiveness, unless he came to a remarkable conversion that nobody has heard about between the firing of the gunshots and this afternoon. He certainly didn't come asking forgiveness to the God I follow. Let him take it up with Allah.

Is this the same guy who walked alongside (then) Mayor Luken during the Opening Day Parade and scream out the N word?

I agree - Beatty needs to fry for the murder of Michael Bailey. The problem I have is the media and their loyal lapdogs describe bailey as an activist. They refuse to attach the word "racist" to him or his ilk.

Just another example of the liberal bias in the emdia and the fools that drink it up.

btw, he's no general and not in any military group!!!! Unless you consider the commie-based black panthers as an authorized military unit of America.

Think so, I read an article on the Enquirer's site earlier today that mentioned this. They've either changed the online article or I just can't find the one I read earlier.

I'll check my hard copy of the KY Enquirer.

This guy is simply the crooked reflection of the black Rap "stars". Famous not for what he actually accomplishes, but because those around him have decided he is a "celebrity", whatever that is, and ultimately dead for no good reason except that the same stupid, utterly worthless "gangsta" culture breeds idiots that can't keep either Mr. Johnson or their handgun in their pants. Darwin in action; stupid is as stupid does. The kind of racist pinhead that is nothing but a bag of anger waiting to go off on the "white man" is the kind of troubled soul that sooner or later was also going to go off on another black man who owns a gun.

Now, what day do you want in the pool as to when the General's family successfully sues the City for a Bazillion dollars for "failing to adequately protect a [black] public figure from harm"?
