It was "come together" day in Baltimore. Everybody went out to the ballpark and had a good time.
It was the first time in the history of Major League Baseball that fans were prohibited from attending a game. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and City Council President Jack Young both apologized for using the word "thugs" to describe the thugs who rioted in the city. Young met with some community activists in a show of solidarity against thuggish racist behavior:
"Trey" was the name given by one of Baltimore's best and brightest, none of whom wanted to be identified by full, or real, names on accounta they are gang leaders.
"Steal me some peanuts and cracker jacks, I don't care if they never come back."
Those gang leaders, Jack Young, the racist rioting thugs--they are the new faces of Baltimore, Maryland. It is they who people will think of for a very long time when they think of Baltimore, Maryland.
