Denise Dean drove around for hours last week with her 85-year-old mother, Mamie Dean, looking for a place to fish. They, like so many others in the city and suburbs, eventually discovered the Columbus Park Lagoon, 500 S. Central
“On the way home, I told mama, ‘This is the last body ofwater before we get home to Garfield Park.’ Over there, we know way too many people. We wouldn’t be fishing, we’d be talking,” Denise said.

“As I’ve said many times, what we want to make sure doesn’t happen is that someone who’s wealthy and commits a terrible violent crime –it could be, by the way, a wealthy drug dealer –doesn’t have an easy time getting bail compared to somebody who maybe commits shoplifting and for a couple of hundred dollars is stuck in jail,” Gov.

Number one reason was she didn’t expressly negotiate that. She should have advocated for the next one in its place.

A different episode involved two teenage girls, one of whom was accused of bullying the other. The bullying girl came to court with her hands on her hip, her lip poked out and radiated attitude. When JJ asked the auntie how many times she had gone to school because of the girl getting in trouble, the aunt said about four times. She also added that the grandmother, who is the legal guardian, had also gone as many times. When JJ pointed out that nobody should have to go to a school that many times because of a child’s behavior, the auntie couldn’t get it. She was too busy trying to defend the particular incident and not once did she reflect on the continuing havoc the young girl was creating. Instead she was busy giving the young girl excuses to use in order to justify that child’s behavior. Watching the bullying girl having to listen to a responsible adult probably for the first time in her life, I suspect it was one of the few times she ever had to shut up and just listen.
