On threat of jail time, Charlestown woman apologizes for destroying Peace Park and its memorials to those lost in tragedies
By adamg on Thu, 08/27/2020 - 9:31am
The Charlestown Patriot-Bridge reports a local woman was sentenced to 50 hours of community service after she acknowledged she was the one who threw out scores of small stone markers, cut down three trees and repainted a gold fence black at the Peace Park on Lowney Way last year. In pleading guilty to the destruction of the memorial site - created in 2018 by the the Turn It Around youth group with a city grant - and offering an apology, Diane Valle at first avoided using the word "I," until prodded by the judge.

"Mistakes were made."

Fines and replacement?
I think she got off light, honestly. That's a mental thing to do.
How about she pay for it in full, plus hefty fines, and 200 hours of community service.

She is a real piece of work. She considers herself the unofficial mayor of Charlestown.
I would have liked to see her repair the memorial that she destroyed -- repaint the fence, plant new trees, etc.
I hope the shame causes her to keep her head down for a few months, but I doubt it.
we are not amused
Well, I consider myself the Queen of England, so I outrank her.
Some apology
A real apology contains remorse for having committed the act, not for the aftermath.
She clearly still thinks she
She clearly still thinks she was in the right.

Maybe she was jealous of something else civic minded being done without her invovelment?

Occam's Razor would indicate she's just a terrible, racist person so I'll assume that about her until facts prove otherwise I guess. I know, I know, not all white people from Charlestown, etc...
She's a student of Conflict...
From her site above:
"She excelled at The Harvard Program on Negotiation and Conflict Resolution, and The Simmons School of Management Negotiation and Conflict Management."
I would like to visit... Does
I would like to visit... Does anyone have this address? I cannot find it on Google Maps.
Located between...
Mt Vernon and Prospect Streets parallel to ramp coming down from Tobin Bridge
On Google
It's listed as the Mt Vernon Street Plaza.
Same Diane Valle as this?

I'm not a psychiatrist
But my untrained opinion of this woman is she may be Nucking futs.
Why does she get to
Why does she get to participate/contribute to the new park rebuild? Doesn't that reward her for her crime? If she has any shame she would just stay away.
