Not at all these dots do not connect. Say what you want about Louise I'm glad she is speaking out. Whether most of it is self indulgent it is still good to have a community advocate.
They are much younger than Masey. They’ve never attended the same schools as Masey. There is no link between these boys and Masey. Not one. When would they have encountered her? Where would the crime have taken place? These charges are an insult to our intelligence, and we demand that police go back to the drawing board, or wherever they need to go, to find out who did this. There’s nothing anybody could tell me to make me believe that these children are the perpetrators.

I noted this very thing. The policy just want to close this and move on even if they do not have the right person and ruin innocent traumatized children themselves. Speak on it Louise!

Lol good one Jordan although I don't think Joey will appreciate it but I do.
“No, Jordan, you’re the one who needs to understand! Stay in your lane. You’re doing too much. You could end up doing more harm than good. You are a reporter, okay? You are not an investigator. I get it. You went to school and you studied forensics, and now you think you get to play both roles. That’s not how it works. Get your pen and your pad and write a story instead of trying to make the story about you.”
OK good instincts Jordan to diffuse the Joey bomb.

Yeah that was a bit strange. Why was she so panicked like she was scared of his reaction seeing him in his shop?

Right I wondered about that too

But I could feel his rage. He closed his hands around my neck and pressed down. I would’ve fought him if I could, but I was overpowered, gasping for air. For the first time in my life, I thought This is it. This is how I die. And the world went dark.

Who is Jordan's attacker? It is not Gil. Why would a radio DJ attack her? It is definitely someone following the case as most murderers do. It also seems too convenient to be Manny. Although that would be a qualified guess. I doubt it was Terrance either because he seems like a low rate con man. So it does not seem too likely it was either Terrance or Manny because it foes not seem they have the investigation skills to find out where Jordan lives and thus be clever enough to break into her secured building undetected. although there was somebody earlier Jordan thought was following her days/weeks ago. Perhaps this person has been watching her for a while? Then she did mention how people "sneak" in by pushing their way into the garage behind someone using their key Fob.
For some reason I think it is law enforcement. I don't think it's Fawcett he seems too old to make this attack and Jordan would have probably recognized the voice. It could be someone hired but their words before and during the attack seems too personal.

Right are there cameras on the roof and much more can they be seen clearly in the darkness?
I bet the board will be more diligent with policing the paid parking spaces and get the light fixed. This seems like a good civil lawsuit.

mind went back to that bizarre conversation the day of the vigil with Louise Robinson when she talked about a Red Moley character. She said, If there’s one, there’s probably two. Louise knew Yvonne. I wonder if she knew anything
The fuck!!!! Even in fiction the CPD and the justice system is an effing joke.
This Keith's time to shine smh.
This is reminiscent of the 90s case of Shavon Dean who was shot and killed by a stray bullet in Roseland. Yummy (11 year old Robert Sandifer) was blamed for thebkilling and executed by 2 young boys in retaliation for Dean's death. Yummy denied he Killed her but the streets chose street justice. Even though it was unfounded and it was a drive by shooting so it could have been anyone's bullets. Just a tragic story. One of the killers known as the Hardaway brothers name was Derrick. Also it is a reminder of the Kalef Crowder (New York) case where he was wrongly arrested for stealing a backpack and it was not any evidence he did it and it was proven that he was no where near the scene. He was only a teen when locked up with adults that frequently beat and assaulted him. He end up committing suicide after he was released. Just tragic.
Harvey is being treated here at the jail’s infirmary.

Right he was just being a complete ass not even 24 hours ago at the newsroom town hall 😒
Her
I'm surprise Joedan was able to get this far
And here is me taking up for Louise. She is not the well intentioned community activist she fronts on being. And if she truly does not know Brent is up to no good why not share this info with the police. After all she was the one urging Chicago to speak up. She is just as bad as these lazy cops.
I had Manny wrong. Although I didn't think he attacked Jordan and now I know why Yvonne was being so weird. she held too many secrets that were detrimental for Masey's case and for the other young ladies.
I get why Pam is shutting down and accepts (for lack of a better word) the arrest for her daughter' s murder. It is probably easier for her mentally to blame these innocent children than to accept her daughter had another life she did not know about. It is probably guilt, pain, embarrassment, and thinking she was a bad parent.
It is none of those things. Unfortunately Masey was preyed upon. The only person to blame for Masey's murder is the evil predator. I know she is grieving but what is being done to those boys is criminal and now more children is being victimized and tortured.
May innocent people are becoming victims of this crime and being held reposnsible except for the true monster. Even if Pam feels that it's too late for Masey and could not care about other kids. The fact that she still has a son that may fall victim is still a possibility to not just give up for true justice for Masey.
bolted out the door, seething over the very real possibility that this self-appointed, self-righteous, fiery community activist and so-called women’s advocate
Sounds like the typical narcissistic psychopath "community activist" either with something to hide, bribe, or receiving bribes. Unfortunately they are often acting nefarious under a vanity altruistic cloak.

Come on through Manny. Unless he undercover is part of the Terrence, Brent thing and using his helpfulness as deflection. Honestly I don't think so at this point. Just have to share more of my true crime skepticism. I don't want to be too quick to let Manny off the hook lol. But he is redeeming himself.
Unfortunately this disgusting behavior happens way too often and just as disgusting is thr people that protect them such as Louise.
I felt at Brent Carter’s years of sexual assaults on his little sister and Terrence Bankhead’s grown-man hand cradling Masey’s teenage

Around 91st/89th east of Stoney Island
Pill Hill was once an affluent Black neighborhood that earned its name from the proliferation of Black doctors who made their homes there in the 1970s.

True
God, I know he cares, and in another life this would all be so perfect. But in this life, this moment is a distraction.
I get that
Here it is smh. They are supposed to be casual. I get it feelings can develop and that's fine. But Jordan made it clear her career is first and foremost. It is not fair for him to get mad she is living exactly what she was up front about. She was attacked but does not need to be saved and does not want to deal with a relationship.
So he doesn't know that much about her either bringing her least favorite flowers. Then again to his point that is because Jordan doesn't let him. But to Jordan's defense she made it clear it was casual. Casual is the epitome of non personal. Just thought I would reiterate my earlier notes lol.
