Guilty pleas in Jonathan Bacon's Kelowna murder

The Abbotsford news reported that "The men who plotted and carried out the 2011 murder of B.C. gangster Jonathan Bacon were expressionless as they pleaded guilty to their crimes Tuesday, putting an end to a lengthy trial mired in red tape."

"Jason McBride was one of two gunmen who masked his face and charged toward a Porsche Cayenne Aug. 14, 2011 while firing an AK 47 style gun, said Crown counsel Dave Ruse, reading from the statement of fact. Within the Porsche were members of the drug dealing gang, the “Wolf Pack,” which included Larry Amero, who was driving, Bacon was in the front passenger seat and James Riach was in a back seat. They were with companions, Leah Hadden-Watts and Lyndsey Black. McBride, who was seen in video footage shown in court can be seen approaching the Cayenne in white sneakers, was with now-deceased Manny Hairan, who shot the car with a glock style gun, while people walking dogs, children and elderly hotel guests ran for cover."

"Much of Crown counsel’s case was reliant on testimony from unsavoury witnesses, and that has caused a number of challenges, the most significant of which being delays."

Unsavoury witnesses is an appropriate description of Donnie McWhirter and the rat pack. I told you Kling Klung wasn't one of the shooters. I don't even think he drove the car. The second shooter is dead. Yeah that sounds like something Blaze would say. The crown got a conviction. That's all they care about. If the IHITit wants to move forward they need to cut Blaze loose.

    1. I guess he's too low level for anyone to care about. Mind you he does have some explaining to do to some of his own crew he was jealous of that got busted while he was in Witness Protection. He started off just lying about rivals but threw some of his own guys under the bus as well.

    1. Yes, yuppies living in their parents basement. The Bacon brothers were suburban princesses. I see two reasons. The first is greed. The second is yuppie hillbillies want to pretend they're from the hood. Being from the hood meant you had to struggle and grew up poor. It didn't mean you were a spoilt brat rich kid.

      The same thing with Larry Amero. His father was a longshoreman and got him a cushy job on his boat being a first aid attendant. He had money in high school so he had a car and the losers would get him to drive his car for them to do Break and Enters. He was a rich kid who stole stuff because he thought it was cool. Not.

    2. Correction, the bacon brother's father was an education assistant. No education needed other than a high school diploma.
