Today - 5 th anniversary of callous cowardly murder

Jason Forbes, 26, was murdered at Bar Ivoire five years ago today in front of 30 witnesses, none of whom have come forward to talk to police. Forbes is believed to have been at the wrong time and the wrong place. His mother Fay has since become a vocal critic of many black community leaders whom she believes haven't worked hard enough to denounce the tendency of the community to work with the police in such instances. I spoke to her today and she was - as usual - still very much distraught over the loss of her son. RIP to Jason, who died much too young. Bar Ivoire, an unattractive white building just west of the underpass near the St. Henry metro, has been closed and empty since that terrible day of infamy.
