Somebody went home unlucky.
And so the season begins!
Looks like uptown 120th street where the CVS/Wawa is located.
I have read it on here before, better stay-a-way from Ocean City. This town is fraught with corruption, criminal activity, gangs, and high taxes/fees.
As the old saying goes; ' A fool and his money soon part.'
Let's face it, the town has a bad reputation, and getting worse every day.

Certainly not a family friendly place anymore. Thugs rule.
The party town that doesn't want to admit that at night it's a party town.
There may be a curfew coming soon. No more late nights. As a local, I hate the idea, but I do welcome getting the riff-raff off the streets at a decent hour.
Curfew for adults - not happening in a resort town.
Why go to OC when there are much nicer ocean towns nearby -- Bethany, Fenwick, Rehoboth, Lewes?
Cvs and wawa continually allow non patrons on the premises and next to never call OCPD to have people dispersed - there was a meeting some time ago with the local businesses and this was addressed. OCPD said that because it is private property they can’t do a thing until a problem arises (like a fight spilling out onto coastal highway) - even if they owners would get involved and have the store managers call the police (which would be a good idea as paying patrons will not go to either establishment for fear of a problem or just avoid the hassle altogether) the damage is done. It really comes down to corporate management
Agree with 6:54 pm, no curfew in a resort town. Doesn't bother me in the least because I'm not going to be there.
Brave guy hitting a woman. What was this all about anyhow?

We don't want them here either
Wow seems white folks can't handle their liquor.
Cvs has called the police numerous times but they can't do anything just because they park there. They have had a bunch towed but that didn't deter them. They use to stand out there and warn them that they would be towed but they would get beer bottles thrown at them or people would gang up on them and fight so for safety of employees they do not send anyone out there anymore what else can they do.
1:25 You are right but we condemn it.
How many times a night does this happen in baltibore with Black folk ?????? NUMEROUS.
Dang, I was home in bed.
Nice judo throw into side control from the guy in the red shorts.
WBOC is just now catching up. I bet they stole your video
Ocean City Responds After Video of Criminal Activity During Cruisin' Weekend

OCEAN CITY, Md.- Ocean City's mayor and police department are speaking out after video showed a large fight and a truck driving wildly up the Ocean City Boardwalk over the weekend.
Mayor Rick Meehan says one person was arrested and another arrest was pending on Monday morning. He called the videos unfortunate, and said the city won't tolerate criminal activity.
"If the laws are broken, we are going to press charges," he tells WBOC. "We are going to make arrests and if that deters some people from coming to Ocean City, so be it."
Lindsay Richard, a public affairs specialist with the Ocean City Police Department, says although the videotaped incidents garnered a lot of attention, criminal activity was statistically low throughout the weekend. She says the department did all they could to combat the incidents as they occurred.
"We had literally every officer working this weekend in addition to other allied agencies that came into assist us," she explains. "So the things that did occur we were able to address very quickly."
Meehan said the city had seen improvements to Cruisin OC and believed the new special events zone helped as well. But as some violence and illegal activity still occurred, Meehan says the next steps are working with business owners and Cruisin participants themselves to ensure more compliance.
"This is our community," he says. "We know we want to keep it safe and we are going to do what we can to make sure that happens."

@6:54 pm. It will if we want it to. The people get what they want.
@ 1:25 am. Yeah, but if it had been the other race, it would have been guns. So who is the most civilized? Owned, big time.
@9:16 am. That's why people who live in Baltimore are considered Baltimoron's here on the good ole, Eastern Shore.
Send a firetruck there and hose those fools down. Scum bags.
