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. Almost 200 people were arrested during
Monday night's riots. At least 144 vehicles and 15 buildings were
burned, according to the mayor's office.
