I think the problem with many of these "youths" is that they are angry and agitated. Wouldn't you be angry and agitated if you couldn't spell your own first name?

So disappointing. I was expecting at least one person would have been a native of Ireland and a second from Scandinavia instead of the usual BLM crowd.

Gee Joe, must all be college students who have been falsely accused. I have a Concealed Carry permit in Delaware and know I can't CCW in Maryland but can I open carry in Maryland to protect my family and myself while in ocean City? Do any of your readers know?
Thanks

Those Scandinavian insurgents again!

Worcester County is going to have to expand their jail if things in OC keep ramping up like in past weeks. Cambridge has some fine examples roaming the streets - NOT!

should charge them with attempted murder to keep them behind bars awhile. They are probably already out and roaming the streets again unphased.

No wonder the frenzied rush to paint Black Lives Matters on Race street in Cambridge that suddenly began TUESDAY the 16th. The mayor HAD to know about the warrants being issued for 1 for Foster who was arrested on the 16th and then the other 4, warrants issued on the 13Th Saturday 3 days prior the BLM painting.

She stated she contacted the commissioners for approval that weekend, when just a few days earlier NO DISCUSSION of painting Race Street was even mentioned at the Monthly city meeting June 8th.

All makes sense now.

OPTICS...

Part of this behavior is because the schools let them run wild. No consequences for any of their behavior. Get passing grades for writing their name on the paper. This is exactly what is coming out of the high schools. It isn't how they will be treated in the real world. Literal animals.

Do you even bother to read the articles?? You are so quick to spew your ignorant responses you didn't bother to see their ALL being held without bond

Some of the parents of these kids should be charged with criminal incompetence and willful] stupidity for raising such dregs on society.

These little monsters will never be anything except a drag on the entire world.

Congrats mom and, oh wait, no dad.

4:47 - what in the world are you talking about? Have you seen the crap police have been putting up with? Now, imagine trying to hold ‘students’ accountable when they have been not raised well. Not the school’s fault, it’ s their parents fault.
