或許Jones並沒有像當年的Willie Horton那樣親自上街向暴動的青年們喊話，
但同樣從貧困中出人頭地，如今也在巴爾的摩積極回饋城市下層青少年的他，
對這些底層青年憤怒與挫折的理解與同情，
卻是這個城市要在大破壞之後療傷止痛，並且向前邁進所不可或缺的。

"These kids are hurting. These kids have seen the pain in their parents'
eyes, the pain in their grandparents' eyes over decades. This is their way of
speaking on behalf of their parents and behalf of their grandparents and
people who have been hurt."
「這些孩子都受傷了。他們幾十年來從父母、甚至祖父母的眼中看到的都是痛苦。這是他
們為父母、祖父母，還有其他受過傷害的人發聲的方式。」
"I say to the youth, 'Your frustration is warranted. The actions, I don't
think are acceptable.' If you come from where they come from, you understand.
But ruining the community that you have to live in is never the answer due to
the fact that you're going to have to wake up in three or four days and go
back to those convenience stores, go back to all these stores.
"This is their cry. This isn't a cry that is acceptable, but this is their
cry and, therefore, we have to understand it. They need hugs. They need love.
They need support. As much as I can give, as much as I know people on the
opposition can give, I'm going to try and give as much as I can, because the
city needs it."
「我要對年輕人說：『你們的憤怒是正當的。但你們的行為是不能被接受的。』你要是和
他們從同樣一個環境出身，你就明白了。可是，把你必須生活在其中的社區破壞掉，這絕
對不是解答，事實上，過了三四天你一覺醒來，還是得去所有這些（被打砸搶的）便利商
店或店鋪買東西。
這是他們的怒吼，這樣的怒吼未必能被接受，但這是他們的怒吼，因此我們都必須理解。
他們需要擁抱。他們需要愛。他們需要支持。只要我有能力給，如同我知道我們的對手所
能付出的那樣，我都會盡全力付出，因為這個城市需要。」
"I'm not far from these kids, so I understand all the things they are going
through, .........It's important to me to reach out to them. That's why my
biggest thing is I like to reach out to 12- to 17-year-olds. Those are the
ones that need the most help, the ones you are trying to effect their minds,
get in their heads. Get them ready for the real world, as opposed to the
false realities we see on TV."
「我的出身和這些孩子們差不了多少，所以我明白他們所經歷的這一切........對我來說
，向他們伸出手是很重要的。因此我的當務之急是要幫助那些12歲到17歲的青少年，他們
是最需要幫助的，也是你最需要感化心靈，了解想法的。要讓他們準備好進入真實世界，
那跟我們在電視上看到的虛假現實完全相反。」
（以下是他回答記者問題前，對這次暴動的評論）
"The last 72 hours have been tumultuous to say the least. We've seen good,
we've seen bad, we've seen ugly," he said, speaking without notes. "It's a
city that's hurting, a city that needs its [leaders] to stand up, step up and
help the ones that are hurting. It's not an easy time right now for anybody.
It doesn't matter what race you are. My prayers have been out for all the
families, all the kids out there.
"The big message is: Stay strong, Baltimore. Stay safe. Continue to be the
great city that I've come to know and love over the eight years I've been
here. Continue to be who you are. I know there's been a lot of damage in the
city. There's also been a lot of good protesting, a lot of people standing up
for the rights that they have in the Constitution, in the Bill of Rights, and
I'm just trying to make sure we're on the same page."
「過去的72小時至少可說是動盪不安的。我們看到了好人好事，也看到了壞人壞事，還看
到了醜惡。」他的這些話並沒有事先擬稿。「這是一座受傷的城市，需要它的領袖們站起
來、挺身而出，幫助受傷的人們。任何人在這個時候都不好過，無論你是哪個種族。我為
每一個家庭，還有街上的每個孩子全心禱告。
最重要的訊息：巴爾的摩，請保持堅強，平安度過難關。繼續成為那個八年來我所認識，
並且熱愛的偉大城市。保持你原來的模樣。我知道這座城市受到很多創傷。但也有很多好
的抗爭在進行，許多人站出來爭取他們受到憲法和權利法案保障的權利，我只是想確認我
們的理念是相同的。」
