The Ocean City Police Department and the Town of Ocean City are taking a close look at events that occurred over the weekend on the Boardwalk. While most of our visitors were in town to enjoy a beautiful summer weekend at the beach, a large number of young adults who gathered on the Boardwalk chose to disobey our laws and treat our town without respect. This activity will not be tolerated on our Boardwalk, our beach or anywhere in Ocean City. While no injuries to our law-abiding citizens and visitors were reported, Ocean City expects all visitors to our town to be respectful to others and to obey the laws. The safety of our residents and visitors is, as always, our top priority.

Funny how all but one of those arrested is from across the pond...
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Gee, we need more of these fine, upstanding visitors to enhance our family image. Next year, in addition to the regional inner cities, why not advertise in the regional prison systems, too??? They might not smoke cigarettes and they certainly won't be flying anti-Hillary banners. You can make some new friends among them, because you're losing them fast around here.
Why is it that the Ocean City boardwalk usually filled with white people and families and you never hear of this type of behavior. Then you get "this crowd" (as pictured) in town and you have all kinds of problems and riots?????? Oh again, I guess we are picking on them. No they are animals.....
For whatever reason, I checked out the photo lineup and picked out Rusten above the others. Read the body and found he was the rising star that started things off. Most of the trash was released on personal recognizance..lol Another child was released to his parents (was in parents custody when arrested). We sure have a tough judicial system. Guess that is what is expected when it starts at the top. Look at what the candidate for our leader has gotten away with.
Such a wonderful Family Resort Ocean Scum City has become the # 2 Hell Hole Of Maryland,of course we all know its hard to beat out The # 1 Baltimore Hell Hole
catch and release? whats the point?
Fine upstanding citizens. throw the book at them judge.
Now that's a cute looking bunch of hooligans
Look like beach folks to me! Doesn't look like any of them have been near water.
Finding a white person in this lineup is like looking for Waldo.
4:42-And put them where? Local jails are maxed out.
obummer's kids?
But they all good boys and girls, just let them kill each other and hear what their families say about them.
I hope a big fine and their choice 1 year in jail or you will not be allowed in oc for 5 years. There is nothing in that group that would benefit oc
Isn't that the truth 3:17. I remember right on this site was an article posted about how OC was going to advertise in the Baltimore market. I even posted how utterly stupid that is. They should be targeting rural areas like Western MD, York Co, Lanc Co PA, Scranton area of PA, areas like Fauquier Co Va and near there and the like. The mayor was even very proud of himself over this ad blitz. Do they not have brains? Do they not use them?
7:24 like they are going to listen if told to stay out of OC. They are trash complete trash.
Gone are the days of having fun and feeling safe on the boards. Not one of these individuals had fun intent as defined by a normal OC visitor. They were on the move to bake, shake, and quake the resort area....and mess someone up. Letting them go is no different than letting a rabid dog back out after it bites 50 people on the beach. Only to bite again. Sad.
You must realize that they get paid DOUBLE if they are arrested and an extra bonus if they are in the news,,,,
Dindunuffins, neverdunnuffin, neverwilldunuffin.
I'm sure they have all learned their lesson and will move on to be productive citizens
Any similarities?
Wow, lot to respond to on here. First off, as someone who lives about 15 min west of Ocean City in Berlin (unlike quite a few of the people here) please note the following:
1. These people went out to OC from Baltimore / Silver Spring. They are drunken hooligans not assocated with any BLM movement, even the news is reporting that these people were basically part of a "college weekend" group. Guess what? 72%+ of the "arrests" that happen in Ocean City and the surrounding towns during the Summer (Memorial day through Labor Day) are usually white meth heads from Delaware, Ohio, and PA. Amazing how that works right?
2. The people trashing Ocean City (claiming the people there are trashy etc etc) can't afford to buy a condo out there, so all the talk about OC being 'trashy' etc. That's probably because you're too dumb to figure out the boardwalk is the LAST PLACE to go in any beach town at night. Which brings me to my last common sense point:
3. First rule of thumb in ANY beach town - that includes all of New Jersey as well) don't go to the boardwalk LATE at night unless you're looking for: drunk people, obnoxious crowds.
end of story. With that being said, if you're a racist hick, don't come out here cause you're a fucking embarrassment to the area.
Well thank you to the last poster, who brought some reason to this "discussion." The rest of my fellow citizens have displayed who they are, ugly, ignorant racists. The actions of the criminals was wrong, it was disgusting, the judicial system needs to act. But the actions of those on this board do nothing to advance the cause of a better society. Nothing at all.
nice language 222, what grade are you in at prince st
Please stop worrying about what color someone's skin is. That's what's wrong with the country now! It could have easily been anyone up there. Skin color does not matter,what matters is what's on the inside! Stop making every thing about Race!
It was a BLM protest! Are serious 1133?
Looks like Polyana is out of the Boonies hatch!
