I cannot say enough about the men and women of the Ocean City Police Department, the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, the Maryland State Police, Maryland Natural Resources Police, Maryland Transportation Police and the other allied agencies that were here this weekend. They went far beyond the call of duty in their attempts to enforce the law and to protect our community while at the same time placing themselves in harm’s way.
The Mayor and City Council must immediately begin working with Police Chief Buzzuro, City Manager Doug Miller and State Agencies to put a plan in place to stop this ciaos. All potential actions should be considered. This includes, but should not be limited to, declaring a State of Emergency. I plan to speak with the Governor this week to discuss this in detail and ask for his assistance.
We cannot let what happened in Ocean City this weekend define us as a community. This must stop and it must stop now."

We need to do to their cars what they did to our town! Bet they wont't come back!
Just shut everything down next time. Suspend alcohol sales. Implement it as if a hurricane is coming.
How about putting up areas where they can do burnouts legally with a paid permit and simultaneously passing the word that anyone doing burnouts outside of the proscribed area will be arrested , fined, and have their car impounded.
Something tells me that Rick Meehan read this berating comment on your post about this. If he was any kind of leader he would have been better prepared for this weekend and he would have had more aggressive steps in place for Saturday after the big failure he faced on Friday night! Shame on Rick Meehan, Shame on Ocean Cities town council, shame on Ocean Cities Chief of Police, shame on Ocean Cities elected Sheriff.
I will also place blame on Worcester County Sheriff Matt Crisafulli. The elected sheriff is the highest-ranking police officer in the county and he failed to act. The last time I checked Ocean City is a part of Worcester County and Matt Crisafulli has is the highest jurisdictional official, not the mayor and not the police chief. Matt Crisafulli, you FAILED the citizens and visitors of Ocean City and Worcester County! I know Mike McDermott would have done a better job as Sheriff!

The police agencies I saw there were OCPD, Maryland State Police, Maryland Natural Resources Police, Maryland Transit Authority Motor Units and the Worcester County Sheriff's Office.
Shame on the Mayor and Council and the Police Chief for not asking for more resources from other allied police agencies. They should have had the Wicomico County Sheriff's Office and Wicomico County Detention Center officers there. Wicomico County has over 100 vacant beds at their jail so they had plenty of room to lock their asses up. Why didn't the request help from the Berlin PD, the Ocean Pines PD, the Snow Hill PD, the Pocomoke PD, the Princess Anne PD, the UMES PD, the Salisbury University PD, the Salisbury PD, Pittsville PD🤣, the Delmar PD, or the Dorchester County Sheriff's Office?
Shame on Ocean City for allowing so much distress to the people who didn't know these punks were going to be there. Shame on Ocean City for allowing so much distress to the people who attended the Ocean City Wine Festival. That police chief needs to be fired and everyone currently sitting as Ocean City Mayor and Council needs to resign.
I will say this much. Kudos to the Maryland State Police Officers who didn't put up with their sh!t. They made the OCPD look like a bunch of Girl Scouts.

Exactly, I did my part . Next year they need the National guard or the citizens need to arm themselves and take back the city by force
The almighty dollar is the cause of this problem. Ocean city prostituded itself by allowing growth it could not handle. Ocean city went from a family resort to a den of crime and violence. Blame the leaders and money hungry businesses
LETS JUST HOPE THE COURTS ARE AS TOUGH AS THEY CAN BE !!!
They should be classified as a terrorist group
Blah blah blah. Something every year and same reply Everytime from OC leadership. As long as money is coming in nothing will come of this.... anyone wanna bet ?
SPD AND SU ? LOLOLOL YOU TRULY ARE 😂.
Oh my God I was there and the burnouts were so loud they hurt my ears. I feel like my head is still ringing. The fumes from all those tires smoking was making me cough and get dizzy. The flashing lights of the heroic police trying to maintain order had me blinded and disoriented. I had to sit down on a bench and put my head between my legs. I cried. I cried for my beautiful city destroyed.
This was a complete disaster and anyone running for the Ocean City Mayor and Council should use this against Rick Meehan and the rest of the Councilors. Time for some Conservative Leadership in Ocean City, vote them ALL out!
This is what happens when a small barrier island tries to grow itself into oblivion. This is what you get from the tired Democrat mantra "Smart Growth." There is nothing smart about this at all. Ocean City has allowed itself to grow to the point where it can't handle all the visitors. How do maintain a quality of life when you have more people visiting that $hithole than resources can handle.
It's time for a moratorium on any further growth. I would go as far as to say that no building can be rebuilt if it is torn down or burns down. Time to get our city back under control.

I get it but they are police agencies with sworn police officers whether you like it or not. They are not different than the rag tag officers at the OCPD.
Yeah because we know every failing business in OC burns down. We will turn that place into assateague quick.
My neighbor was a motorcycle cop in Wicomico County and he has gone to assist Ocean City in previous years for these events. Does anyone know if Wicomico County assisted Ocean City this year and if not, why?

DUMB!! How are speed bumps going to prevent burnouts? Why inconvenience the residents and visitors any more than you have to. Traffic was slow-moving as it was.
"I will say this much. Kudos to the Maryland State Police Officers who didn't put up with their sh!t. They made the OCPD look like a bunch of Girl Scouts."
True Statement! MSP Troopers have always been the more elite police force over the town cops. Not all Troopers but most of them.
I would even say some of the NRP Officers are Bad A$$ as well. Kudos to both agencies.

What a dumb suggestion.
The biggest problem was the Millenial punks that filled the streets and taunted and harassed the police officers and citizens. Did you even graduate?
Rick Meehan and the entire Ocean City town council should hang their heads in shame. This was a total disaster that could have been prevented. They knew they were coming.
This is what Mayor Rick Meehan posted before this his "Something has to be done speech" which was posted 18 hours ago.
Mayor Rick Meehan is with Carolyn Allen.

Nice crowd at Wine on the Beach! Pouring beer to support the Cricket Center!

So you mean to tell me this so called mayor was oblivious to what was going on in his city Friday night and Saturday? He should have posted about H2OI and posted warnings to his constituents.
WTH kind of leader is that!
I've got a feeling that Ocean City Police Chief Ross C. Buzzuro is no better than Salisbury's Barbara Duncan.
He should resign after this nightmare!
On point!
Memo to Matt Crisafulli
"I will also place blame on Worcester County Sheriff Matt Crisafulli. The elected sheriff is the highest-ranking police officer in the county and he failed to act. The last time I checked Ocean City is a part of Worcester County and Matt Crisafulli has is the highest jurisdictional official, not the mayor and not the police chief. Matt Crisafulli, you FAILED the citizens and visitors of Ocean City and Worcester County! I know Mike McDermott would have done a better job as Sheriff!"
Real easy solution to all of this drunken shenanigans, stop selling alcohol! If Ocean City is supposed to really be a "Family" resort, than prove it. Make it a Dry resort.
I don't have an answer to this (who does?), but here is a thought:
All the folks calling for the National Guard are 100% off-base.
First of all, what the hell would they do? Give out tickets?
Secondly: It would be HORRIBLE PR for OC to have to do that.
Lastly, and most importantly:
You let this crowd know that the Town is bringing in the troops for this event and it will draw not only the H2Oi crowd, but every person looking to be a part of it.
Think I'm wrong?
In 1969 we had absolutely NO plans on traveling to College Park for the Anti-War rally. Then we found out the National Guard would be there.
We jumped in the car, drove down, and had the time of our lives getting chased and harassed by the Guard.
It was so much fun, we stayed an extra day.
Joe, I remember you posting a lot of pictures and posts about how bad the crime is getting in Ocean City. Well, this is the icing on the cake and it's time for the current leadership to step down. They failed everyone in their duties to keep citizens and visitors safe in Ocean City.
Ocean City officials need to shoulder some of the blame. OC is no longer a "family resort" thanks to their chasing the all mighty dollar.
Stop putting people at risk while you are trying to line your pockets.
This is disgraceful. God Bless the law enforcement officers who tried to deal with the mess. The City officials owe them not only a debt of gratitude, but an apology. How dare you risk so many lives!!!
The OC mayor is a Failure and hack he speaks out of BOTH sides of his mouth ... I'm outraged/ doe nothing about it.$$$$$$$$$
Town officials say the same thing every year after the cars. bikes, H2O events. Next year they will be saying the same thing. Maybe the hotels/motels need to close for this weekend.
Only 14 comments about this Dorks stupid statement? Surely there should be a lot more.
Why is it Rehobeth and Bethany can fill the town when the weather is nice and the leadership of Ocean City thinks they can’t without sanctioning some stupid event every weekend?
This thing is the unholy spawn of 20 yrs of Highway Events. It’s too late to stop it. You opened Pandora’s Box with Cruizin’ events and Bike Week. This event is 100% social media driven. There are no organizers to sue.
Placing blame on any law enforcement official is ridiculous! All agencies banded together and did the best they could. Legally, you cannot keep these cars out of town. To blame the Chief, Sheriff, or any law enforcent personnel is asinine. OCPD, WCSO, MSP, NRP, and other agencies had the town saturated. With something this huge, I think they did a great job!
REMEMBER....the Sheriffs dept. Patrols ALL of Worcester County! They did have officers in OC and were doing a great job keeping the rest of the county safe...these kids and their cars were EVERYWHERE..not just in the town limits of OC!!! I saw numerous WCSO vehicles in other parts of the county...in full force...ensuring everyone was safe! Shame on any of you that didn't think they did a great job!!! These kids and their cars were coming regardless and law enforcement was prepared and did a great job given the scope of this non-sanctioned event!
The people of Worcester County elected the right Sheriff!! Sheriff Crisafulli is doing an outstanding job! He is personally out and about in the communities talking to citizens hearing their concerns and doing something about them! Keep up the good work!
Mr. Mayor:
Here is the very simple answer to the problem:
This H2Oi event is unsanctioned.
I suggest OC sanction a "Car Safety Weekend".
(Being somewhat of a Libertarian, it pains me to suggest the following, but drastic situations take drastic measures.)
Randomly select cars for a "Safety Check" as they enter the town. (Think DUI Checkpoints.)
Include ALL types of vehicles for the "random" safety check just so you are being fair, just as they do with the DUI checkpoints.
Go over the cars completely. Those deemed "unsafe" will immediately be impounded, due to being unsafe for the road.
Have tow trucks ready.
You KNOW that something could (and would) be found that is unsafe or illegal.
Explain to the driver that we are doing this as a favor to the driver of the car, as well as to any people that may be in danger due to an unsafe car.
You may even add 'sponsors' to "Car Safety Weekend" to supply free and discounted coupons (and advertising) from any participating businesses, and hand them out as a "thank you" for being so patient during the safety check.
This won't weed ALL the crazies out, but a very good percentage would be impounded I'm sure.
Plus, when word gets out that your car could be confiscated before you get into town because of those over-tinted windows (and other things), they will certainly think twice about coming.
Brian,
I tried to tell you man. One hit is all you need.
What's with the officer with firearm at his shoulder? With all kinds of regular and irregular people in sight?
Agree police should enforce the law but dubious about making the entire town a crawl speed zone. We just avoid OC entirely when they have the Special Events restrictions.
From a local, responsible grandpa.
the haters on here have no clue why is it the mayors fault of these idiots actions
12:21
Someone called the police and said the people in this vehicle were waving a gun around.
Sounds like Meehan is the kind of mayor we deserved in Salisbury instead of the boy child. Crime no not that bad is still bad here, hiding your head in the sand and Duncan only showing up for selfies and photo opportunities is not getting it. Day and Duncan have to go and fast. Can we have a slot on the ballots next month where the citizens can have a vote on getting rid of our chief of Police in addition to Day's last day? When you live on a street that there are cops at the same house 3-4 X a week and no charges there is a problem. I would like to see things the way they were even a year ago until these rental properties are checked for how many per dwelling actually living there and I dn't mean census counters. If you look at the city streets they are lined with cars bumper to bumper, street after street, common sense would tell you the houses are over occupied. Check how many untagged vehicles, abandoned vehicles for as much as a year and never moved. Houses with more than 1 electrical box tell you what? With multiple dishes on the rooves what does it tell you? When the water is cut off, and on, and off and so on. When there are appliances in the yards, sofas, chairs and all kinds of house furniture in the yard what does it say. Coding and Compliance what are you doing?
People are responsible for their own actions
10:22 What a stupid comment from you, did you even make it to high school.
Hark, where is Mehan's head at. Rember the infamous Steve McQueen's Ford Mustang scene - going 100+ MPH on San Francisco's city streets. I say bring in some muscle cars next time.
Are loud mufflers illegal? Seems majority don't have factory stock mufflers.
I like 9:36AM comment, that would definitely work!
Absolutely nothing OC can do about this. They can't ban people from entering resort. They can't ban them from staying in hotels or eating food. They did the best they could. Should have had more police where they were doing burnouts and arrest people. And the mayors statement is just going to egg these people on and bring more next year.
We need old "Bake" back. He'd bust some heads.
Hey, screw you buddy, officers from other agencies have enough to deal with, without somebody else's crap. They should have planned better. Oh let's just get everybody but God to police the town. You moron. Those guys have to work xtra shifts for this kind of $hit. Let them deal with it.
You poor thing
Exactly! Next year they will come, and next year you OC people WILL put up with it. Period.
shoot a few of them. That will settle everything. case closed.
Of course the state police are good at this. That's all they deal with is traffic every day. Send one by himself up to a porch full of hell raising druggies and watch him piss his pants. You need to know the difference between traffic cops and domestic handling city cops. They won't even allow these pretty boys in Baltimore. They would just get in the way.
This is why I love seeing West OC grow. Who even cares about OC. If they actually put out the real police stays on crime in OC no one would go there. Keep growing West OC.
Ignore them and they will go away
Yeah nrp hires good quality officers, like the one that used to be a shot girl in stockings at the old 3 clubs in one.
McDermott’s are a joke, both of them
"shame on Ocean Cities elected Sheriff."
Wow we have a City County Sheriff, and a County County Sheriff, I did not know this. Where have I been? wow just wow
As a retired state police officer, I must say Ocean City Police Department is not a rag tag agency.
You are an NRP police officer aren't you? :-)
What did you do?
Dont forget
they want to build another Bay Bridge to bring more of these Clowns down here
Because little Mike Lewis was too busy on Facebook taking selfies of himself in Uniform
Wait a minute, you say kudos to these agencies? It was a disaster goofy. They didn't make a difference. Kudos if there WAS control. That's like saying, well the plane crashed and killed everybody, but at least it didn't tear up the yard. Geez!
Ha! Bake couldn't even catch my sister in her 68 fast back mustang. All she had to do was ride by Laytons, and he would swerve off to get their fresh made donuts and coffee. Ha!
Which Amy are you? The only thing little Matt is worried about is where's lunch for the day. Where was he this weekend? Oh that's right, sitting at home. He's more concerned with deputies in schools than actually keeping units on the road.
Do you think the taxpayers would be happy that on a typical day there are 2 road deputies out? For the whole county. Hell Ocean Pines has more on than the county. He's doing a real stand up job.
Yes.
Turn off the street lights.
If they can’t watch each other and video tape they won’t do it. It’s to be noticed and for attention. Turn the lights off.
Plan B. Close the roads to non emergency vehicle traffic. Make buses the only non emergency or non delivery option. Some islands only allow golf carts, OC only buses or transport. Goes from the loudest to the quietest weekend.
Crazy ideas. But this whole thing has gone crazy. Go crazy back.
Oh yeah like that will ever happen.
3:32 p.m. - Typical of someone who doesn't have the b@lls to be in law enforcement. Actually, you sound jealous! Clearly you don't read (probably don't know how) or watch the news (words are too big for you to understand) regarding Troopers in Baltimore. Go back to your video game.
Why couldn’t they go to Annapolis or DC where they are really needed.
Ignoring them is what got to this point. This is social media driven and you have to enforce loitering. VA beach has a crushing law. Ticketed for driving up and down the strip
Those cars are mostly low riders. That’s why speedbumps will deter them. Doofus!!
Roger that troop - they can only be enforce laws on the books - put the blame on Annapolis as OCPD gave them more than fair warning in March
Apparently someone in the vehicle had a gun.
Delusional. He was out at events all weekend. I saw him at 2 different events. 2 deputies on the road? You are wrong on that. Do you think McDummit would be out in the county and hearing concerns? Yeah I didn’t think so either. Your boy lost. Get over it.
BOC news department is no better then the punks that were there for the event. Their FB posts glorify the event. Shame on you Craig J. Shame on you John D and shame on the incompetent Joe. Draper is rolling over in his grave for how junior varsity this news program has become.
It is very easy to be critical of the OC government and the police agencies involved - it is also easy to be critical of marketing that OC has done. The truth is that the problem is here, and given the very poor behavior of the participants in this situation, there is only one real solution. Annapolis must respond in a manner that is reflective of law. Pressure must be put upon the legislators to review their foolish indignation. If law enforcement does not have the tools it needs to suppress this outlandish behavior, it will indeed continue. I am a property owner in OC and ocean pines, and I personally saw this coming for the last three years as it has built up to the fevered pitch that occurred this weekend. Our property was significantly damaged, and I personally felt that this weekend would be unsafe. I kept my family in the pines, and am unfortunately surveying the damage now. Multiple properties had significant issues around and including mine. We do not rent, and only share time in our places with family, I do not know what the answer is - I only know what the costs are, and I am personally selling off our condo to get out of this. It’s not worth it, but I will say that the LEOs I saw were vigilant, upheld their duty, and were good stewards of the local trust. To each of them, you have my respect and thanks. Unfortunately, they can only do so much. Two OCPD officers live close by to me, and I personally saw them after the facts of the last two days in church - they were just exhausted. Mike and Jimmy, thank you. To the rest of the LEOs I do not know, I extend my thanks for your tireless efforts.
Regards,
Paladin
I know most everyone associated with the OC town government is well compensated compared to the surrounding municipalities, and I mean WELL! Nice to see what the citizens get for all the money being paid to these fools! of course, they did vote em in! lmao!
6:24
No they didn't. Someone reported they had one but they posted pictures about an hour later. No one can get arrested and processed that quick! OCPD found no gun.
I agree. They have fallen down. Run by a bunch of idiots. Time to clean house and fire these idiots.
I'm delusional?? I work for the moron. He's more worried about what the board of education wants than the needs of the county. Prove my BS. Look at days, evenings, and midnight shifts and tell me they aren't short. Uneducated cow.
Last time I checked, my name isn't Amy, but if it makes you feel better to think you know who I am...ok because you seem like a really smart guy! (That was a joke)
This topic was started because people were concerned about these kids wreaking havoc on our county not about your OBVIOUS political agenda!! Um...everyone eats lunch and sits on their couch after work...and by the sound of it...you sit on your couch a lot!!
I don't know where you live and frankly don't care, but I have seen plenty of sheriffs dept. vehicles, but thats not what this is about, is it??
Did you drive through the county and into OC at all this weekend? My guess is NO due to your ignorant response. If you had been in OC you would have seen the hard work all of the agencies did this weekend!!
So, stop acting like you care about the taxpayers and get over the fact that you and your buddies are sore losers! Why don't you go do something better with your time like...volunteer or do some good for our county instead of bashing law enforcement and crying on your couch that your friend lost!
And the event he was at was a freaking community day in Bishopville, far away from the chaos in OC, and accepting a donation for K9, in Powellville, outside of the county he serves.
They'll say why were the cops in "riot" helmets. Well, it's the closest official uniform headgear component for cranium protection from impacts.
No matter WHAT measures OC invested in, they were ineffectual. This isn't new to this town. In fact, it's old as far as blaming the cause. They continue to plan based solely on their Council committees (in spite of paying people with skills to do just that).
There is a GREAT BIG piece of property OC owns know as Park N Ride in West OC that sits idle most of the year. It would make for a great impoundment lot.

10:22 - NO!!!
Hope these cars were confiscated, permanently. They were used as dangerous weapons and they should never get them back. That's one way to keep these pathetic loser thugs from coming back and doing this again. And lengthy jail time.
Well....since you seem to know so much...what do you do in law enforcement? You probably don't even work in the Sheriffs department...just trying to look important.....back up your facts!!! Are you a secretary?
Anyone familiar with Black Bike Week in Myrtle Beach years ago? Got so bad that one year the town just closed all of the businesses for that week. Maybe OC should try that next year. Seemed to work for them.

Why is it his/their fault? Because he failed to lead, he failed to act. He put the lives of all those police officers in danger because they had to deal with thousands of unruly crowds who were cursing them, threatening them and throwing things at them. This is very dangerous and Rick Meehan needs to step down.

Matt, Matt, Matt, please go to bed and stay off the blogs.
I think I have read hundreds of comments on Social Media where many citizens are very dissatisfied with the lack of planning and the lack of reacting after the dangerous situation on Friday night and not beefing up the police force for Saturday. They are mad and Rick Meehan and the entire OC town council. Yes, that includes you, Mary.
What do you think they couls have dine between Friday and Saturday? Do you even know wh9 the OC Police Chief is? They did a great job under the circumstances. Any further action has to come from Annapolis if that can even happen. Yeah great idea blaming the sheriff too.
No demonizing them is what has emboldened them. This is the generation of pointless rebellion. "If you don't want us we will bring more people next year". All OC has to do is start and road repair projects they plan on doing for the entire winter the weekend before. These cars ride an inch off the ground. Let them tear their bumpers off, stop giving them free press and they will be gone by 2021 guaranteed.
You aren't a libertarian then
They don't need the money they only need the head count. Real local business owners moved out long ago and all that is left is middle eastern money launderers. They pay double the rent that a legitimate business would pay and the people collecting the rent (like Harrison Group) run the town. They aren't going to slaughter their cash cow. Nothing will change, this is just to keep up the image.
Love the guns drawn on the girl with little to no clothes on. Where exactly did the officers think she was hiding her weapon? The more of a keystone cop routine we put up, the more this is an attraction or event to these people. There are only 3 road into OC 90,50, and Coastal Highway coming south. It would take far less resources keeping them out than chasing them around. Stop every car coming into town. Live here cool. Have a reservation cool. This ain't rocket science.
I'm more than a little concerned about the gun being pointed at some 90 pound girl as if she had anywhere to hide a weapon. And if there was something dangerous beyond her that is not in the pic than the officer needs to be retrained. Do we really want another Kent State happening in our cash cow?
Build the wall! Bye fenwick!
More evidence of a generation gone rogue. ANTIFA, H2O, "The Squad"; what's next? I am a little older and remember the days of the SDS, Black Panthers, SLA, and of course the "hippie" movement in protest of the Viet Nam war. Is history repeating itself? Our country degraded when the "make love not war" movement ravaged the country. Like today, law enforcement was chided and disrespected and the theme was anti establishment. Again...is history repeating itself?
Does anyone know what the occupants of that car did to have guns drawn on them. Not judging. Just curious to know why?
If she didn’t want a gun pointed at her maybe she should change her behavior and the people she surrounds herself with... her parents need to retrain her
The police deserve to be able to go home to their families everyday. Dealing with irrational drugged out people who were reported to be armed the police did the correct thing . I don’t see you making the streets safe for people
It's called a felony stop. Everyone gets pulled out at gunpoint.
Get a grip, Brian!
@11:56- Everything you stated is not the POV of a Libertarian. Congratulations, you're a Democrat. 1:00 is correct.
They were reported to be pointing a gun out of their car
@3:30- So, your answer to the problem is murder?
I am not allowed to tell you. Classified.
Tricky Rick never keeps his word, 100% pure politics! Take a penny from Hale, Leighton or Avi, not a chance ! Face it, when the Delaware Beach’s are seeing residents move in by the 1000s, yet OC has people leaving, the “direction” the Mare and Council have taken for years has come home to roost.
We've got another smart one!😂 Are you the same one that thought I was some woman? I am neither one of them...I guess you just can't handle the fact that someone sticks up for law enforcement, can you? You are a sad individual....a troll....You also can't give an educated response. 🤣🤣
You’re absolutely correct 11:01 am. As long as there’s $ to be made by the big shots in town the homeowners are going to have to deal with the sh#*show.
Rick - we all know you and your cronies read this blog, so a bit of constructive advice...
Stop talking - don’t give away your strategy
Governor - get guard troops to work with MSP at 113/ VA line, 54/MD line and at the bay bridge working with transit authority - idea is to turn them around on violations
Legislature - develop a drivers lic revocation option for 6 months to a year
Additional guard troops to assist in LEO efforts in OC with a strong presence
Get out a press release of any changes to the special event zone and publicize that the police from several agencies will be there.... keep everything else quiet, and then drop the hammer on the whole lot of them with no mercy at all - impound the cars at owners expense, fine the life out of them, and take their drivers lic
In short Rick, keep it under wraps

What do you think they couls have dine between Friday and Saturday? Do you even know wh9 the OC Police Chief is? They did a great job under the circumstances. Any further action has to come from Annapolis if that can even happen. Yeah great idea blaming the sheriff too.

You are dum dumb as Hell and your grammar shows it.
"Any further action has to come from Annapolis if that can even happen."
No Dummy, it's called Mutual Aid. "Any further action" only requires asking for assistance from neighboring police agencies you big dummy! As mentioned in another post there is Wicomico County Sheriff's Office, Somerset County Sheriff's Office, more resources from Worcester County, after all Ocean City IS Worcester County, the Berlin PD, Ocean Pines PD, Snow Hill PD, Pocomoke PD, Princess Anne PD, Salisbury PD, Delmar PD, UMES PD, Salisbury University PD and Even the Delaware State Police. If you don't know what you are talking about then STFU!!

I agree with everything but this. You people that keep talking about "turn them around at the state line really sound dumb.
"Governor - get guard troops to work with MSP at 113/ VA line, 54/MD line and at the bay bridge working with transit authority"

No demonizing them is what has emboldened them. This is the generation of pointless rebellion. "If you don't want us we will bring more people next year". All OC has to do is start and road repair projects they plan on doing for the entire winter the weekend before. These cars ride an inch off the ground. Let them tear their bumpers off, stop giving them free press and they will be gone by 2021 guaranteed.

Another dumb comment. The idea is to keep Ocean City open and family-friendly for the real visitors who spend money. Don't create problems to make everyone miserable. All you have to do is get special legislation passed to lock these ANTIFA thugs up and impound their cars. While doing that make sure you have more police agencies assisting you like you do during Bike Week. Rick Meehan and the entire Ocean City Town Council FAILED the residents, visitors and police officers by not making sure everyone was safe from this thousands of rowdy punks. They all need to resign, especially the police chief and the Sheriff.
A lot of people on here have made valid points and educated comments based on what happened this weekend. A few of you have not. One of you admitted you worked for the sheriffs department and trashed law enforcement. The other 2 or 3 bashed the mayor, ocpd, etc.....well, if you don't think the kids that came down here this weekend don't read this...you're wrong! That's just what the bad ones want to see....people not supporting the community and police...you are just fueling them to be worse. If you don't like it here then move. No one agrees with everyone, but the only way to go about this is with a united front. So, keep up the negative comments....and for those of you that say they failed and did a horrible job and that they should all be fired, etc....did anyone die? Did your house get burned down? Did you get shot? Yes...bad things happened, but given the scope and magnitude of the event everyone of you ungrateful bastards should be ashamed of yourselves. They did what they could and we should all be thanking them for putting their lives on the line to protect ours!!!
Why don't you ask your neighbor
914 I understand it’s classified but give us a hint.
Hark ???
If every local just damages one car they’ll never come back
They don't read this, if it's not on facebook they don't see it
I spend my hard-earned money in OC's restaurants, hotels, arcades, jewelry stores & gas stations every year during H20i. I love the cars. Don't care for the amplified exhaust systems, but, since that is a universal problem, I anticipate that states will outlaw those.
I drive 4+ hours for this treat! What a spot you are in! Dudes! You are ON THE MAP! Other places would PAY for that opportunity! Atlantic City is a fart in a hurricane. Ocean City had a HUGE VOLUME of visitors!!! Okay...they were unruly. You upped the 5-0 presence, protected the citizens and fined the scofflaws. YOUR MUNICIPAL WHINING IS PATHETIC.
During the daylight hours I was on the beach enjoying the sounds of the surf...UNTIL YOUR IDIOTIC SPEEDBOATS BEGAN TO ROAR UP & DOWN THE SHORE!! No one accosted them!!
Three days of carefull management got ya through. Good work. It's time to welcome this crowd with open arms! Respect their desire to come to your town. Organize a parade for them to ride in. They can't speed in a parade. More tourists like me will be attracted. Award an array of prizes for an array of categories. Scofflaws get DQ'd. Invest in a competition venue. Formalize and monetize this GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY!! Ocean City is a vacation destination and an exciting resort town...it's not some sleepy little virgin village that some of you morons are casting as a victim!! Make hay while the sun shines. Indianapolis has the Indy 500 ONCE a freakin year...OC needs to manage this opportunity before it fades away!!
The rest of you "citizens": 95% of you are not native to OC, but you're the one's whining the loudest. Move to Rehoboth, move to Naples. Ocean City will NEVER be/has NEVER BEEN a cradle of tranquility. You who fantasize OC to be a sleepy retirement village are wishfully hoping for this zebra to lose its beautiful stripes.
EGAD!! sksksksksk and I oop!
OCPD Nazi with a AR-15 on a traffic stop top picture.
That cop should be neutered. Or already was. Overkill much?? Big truck little winky syndrome. Typical cop.
I hope this little group of car enthusiasts continues to badger the living snot out of O.C. P.D.
OCPD has had a crap reputation for 30 years and they deserve to get their butt handed to them as it happens frequently.
They look like the rent a cops they are in their travel plaza employee uniforms! LOL.
They are completely overwhelmed and ready to loose the battle any time the cruisers call it short of shooting people. I wouldn’t be surprised if they did.
You could see the desperation and despair in their eyes last year as they were nearly powerless to stop anything! LMAO
2020 should be even better!! Teach this idiot mayor and cops another lesson!
They set up a “special event” zone. There going to have it this year!!
