Not to be taken out of context but growing up around here and actually enjoying ocean city summers back in the 70's thus type of pack chaos seeking mentality would have never flushed

I took out of town guests to OC yesterday for a meal and stroll on the boardwalk. Our meal at the Shark in West OC was phenomenal! The boardwalk was embarrassing. Not the usual mix of families young and old....rather a clear presence of people there for mayhem. The police presence was high and the officers courteous, however, we didn't linger long before starting our 90 minute drive home. Attention OC: clean up this mess of thugs and disrupters. I can guarantee you that people like my friends and I, who would have gladly stayed longer and eaten a nice dinner and done more shopping stopped in Berlin instead. You are hurting your local businesses, your economy, and your reputation.

Those racist thugs are taking over everywhere. Thanks to the ignorant white Democrats who voted for Obama and the ignorant white Republicans that didn't get out and vote.

I bet there are at least a dozen illegal guns in that pic somewhere.

What about this picture says thugs? It just looks like a peaceful crowd enjoying the boardwalk. What am I missing here?

WOW!!!

I kept reading about the thugs on OC Boardwalk, but have never encountered them.
We go there often.

We don't go there late at night.
Wow. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Now I understand what the fuss is about.

Thanks Joe for keeping us informed.

I don't know how many times I've commented on the problems with and in Ocean City MD. You want solutions. All you have to do is look to Ocean City NJ. I'd spend my vacation dollars there long before I'd spend them in OC MD.

The latest intel is groups all over the south end looking for trouble. They travel in packs, like dogs. I say fight fire with fire

2:18 must be too thick to Capri.
This crowd was flushed out from Denny's in the Salisbury hood.

I agree with you.
Let me ask you, though: Exactly what would you propose the city should do? Put up a sign? ("No Thugs, Please. Thank You!")
Seriously, what would you want the city to do? Give me even one suggestion.

PLEASE! Those are just nice, polite, law-abiding "College Students", not "thugs". (According to WBOC, Town of Ocean City, and the Ocean City Police Department, they are, anyway.)

Curfew anyone?

Anonymous said...

What you don't see is how many cops are stationed on the Boards, both uniformed and not.

Enforce a curfew

It's the Outer Banks for me, what about you?

30% (on average) higher hotel room rates in OC NJ than OC MD. ($223 in MD - $283 in NJ.) Is that the answer?

Yes.
BUT - Only with a group of three or four families and ALL their kids, renting a house for about $4000+ a week; and preparing yourself to tell the kids there's no boardwalk or rides.
To me, or my kids (or wife!), not much of a vacation. We'll take Ocean City.

"These people all over the boardwalk with all their drugs, the bad attitudes, the lack of respect for the law, is just too much. We're never coming back to Ocean City again!"
(Quoting my dad, a statement made at one point every summer from about 1965 to 1970 while we were vacationing in Ocean City.)

OK, here goes now you actually have to put the crack pipe or heroin to understand. Please excuse not taking the time to put proper punctuations and such in a blog thread about heathens traveling in packs looking to create some sort of immature chaos and get attention. OK here's what you're more likely to understand, YO we redneck white county boys back in 'DA 70's YO wouldn't have put up with your bullshit!! Everytime we heard of of you're staged protests or go gatherings let's just say we would have "welcomed" you with open arms. Oh Wait a minute, YO we be chillin' by 'DA boards holla

My kids always pick Hatteras Island (OBX) over OC. They choose the beautiful uncrowded beaches over a dirty Boardwalk. Just stayed a few weeks ago Oceanfront in Rodanthe, ocean right off our deck, practically to ourselves. Not even close to $4000 dollars.

Anonymous said...

The recent post about heading up to jersey beaches during summer, you've got a point, they definitely wouldn't put up with any of this kind of nonsense. Have a strong feeling it would take care of itself

I love Rodanthe! Stayed there several times. The further South you go on the island the better it gets. Taking the free ferry over to Ocracoke is amazing too.

Too many assumptions. Sure, a carload of hoodies at 5AM cruising the roads is suspicious but that does not mean that they are simply trying to "be cool". I ride the bus early morning and I see (but hear) some of these people. I strike up a conversation and subsequently realize that some of of them are actually OC employees.

Most are not looking for trouble. You should not either.

No thugs in the beach towns down here in Northern Florida. O.C. created this mess by over commercializing the board walk. We left eastern shore because the thug culture is taking over and the PC governmebt refuses to call a spade a spade.

You also don't have Baltimore 2 hours away. There are some bad parts down your way as well. They might not shoot you but they will watch you drown.

Anonymous said...

Exactly. Beach side version of inner city Baltimore.

"Usual mix"? Where have you been for the last 15 years? The Boardwalk is thug alley in the summer and has been for quite some time.

Anonymous said...

8:22 Totally agree. Thugs are everywhere even in Florida, the only difference is that they're probably not black.

It is college week at the beach. That's why they have extra cops to help patrol. Maybe you should check the Ocean Ocean city schedule of events before you visit. Ocean city is a very family friendly place. I take my family to the board walk all the time!

That's funny I don't care who you are !

I have to say .. was in OC early this evening.. it was the first time I was uneasy walking the boardwalk.. I have never heard the F-bomb said so
Much.. the boardwalk filthiest I have ever seem it.. saw
People changing in the street.. public drunkenness, pants down as to see their underwear .. we were diagusted after about 45 min and left-we used to spend all night ... but not anymore its like walking in a crime zone.,,

Only rednecks sound illiterate like that. Not "thugs"

Remember when the big issue was a male running up to the boards from the beach without a shirt, to grab a snack or pit stop. The police would be all over it. Now trash run loose everywhere. I say trash because if you are in public using the f work as stated above, you are trash.

The rain kept the takeover subdued, thank god. The thugs were here, pure Baltimore trash. If the M&CC don't do something, the family resort is gone.

This IS NOT LISTED on the IC schedule as it is an unscantioned event.. thats why itvis an issue every year, no accountability by event "organizers" or city

As opposed to your high level of intelligence? I just love people like you that are so quick of shout out insults and such to others and try everything you can to try and belittle people all the while offering nothing of substance or even a coherent thought, much less one of your own.

It's bad enough you make yourself look bad but you make others think your type is common in the area. Please stop.
