The president of the Baltimore City Council apologized for calling rioters “thugs” at a press conference Tuesday, calling those responsible for the violence “misdirected” youths.
Standing side-by-side with self-proclaimed gang members, Jack Young said that gang members stood in front of stores to prevent looting and retracted claims that gang members were targeting the Baltimore police.
“We are all Baltimoreans,” Young said.
Over 200 people were arrested during Monday night’s riots. At least 200 vehicles and 15 buildings were burned, according to the mayor’s office.
The notorious Bloods and Crips have agreed to join together and protest police. Read more at The Baltimore Sun.

They and the council president may be thugs.
How about putting the blame for silent collapsing of society.. where it belongs?
Blacks are more sensitive than whites in absorbing from osmosis the atmosphere pervading in the air [though they’re completely unable to articulate it]
And being on a lower socioracial level, they have less defenses to somewhat insulate themselves from the deteriorating of society
Therefore ,rather than blaming blacks for acting out and thereby conveniently using them as strawmen..
Whats a more acceptable word than “thugs”? After all – it’s a very valid adjective for their actions. Would “bums” or “animals” be more appropriate?
Wait, we apologize to them, what about the stores they burnt, the officers hurt, the people whose lives are in chaos? shouldn’t the rioters apoligze
they truly are thugs. i live in baltimore, and as i was driving before, i saw a national guard convoy of 8 humvees.with 4 soldiers to a humvee, thats 32 soldiers. and there are still some idiots rioting!!!
THE CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT HAS TO “APOLOGIZE” TO THESE WICKED “THUGS”?????????
THESE WICKED THUGS HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO THE WHOLE CITY AND METROPOLOITAN AREA OF BALTIMORE!!!!!!!!!!
AND, OF COURSE, THEY HAVE TO ESPECIALLY APOLOGIZE TO ALL OF THE INNOCENT PEOPLE WHOSE BUSINESSES AND PROPERTY THEY ATTACKED!!!!!!!!!
AND, (As related in the previous Matzav article that President Obama himself has declared that what they have done has gravely harmed their own communities) THEY HAVE TO EVEN APOLOGIZE TO THEIR OWN FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES!!!!!!!!!!
They are not just misdirected youth, they r wild bumy librals.
Too much PC!!
They are misdirected in that the government has given them everything they’ve got. They are so misdirected that they feel that they are entitled to loot and damage city property and attack the police that are there ostensibly to protect them from themselves.
Baltimore is just the latest perfect example of liberal social justice pabulum run amok. Not much different than Detroit or Ferguson.
Can we just stop??? Who cares what terms people throw around. Who cares what people think, they don’t do it that often. 🙂 But really, let’s just end this.
