Did not hear of these types of crime / incidents during Cruisn' and there still is a great controversy. Seams like OC has more serious problems than Cruisn' that is going to cost them to lose more money.
"Family Resort" LOL.

Ladies & Gentlemen, one of the local media sources just tried to put up a comment saying they have to wait for a press release before they can publish this information.

Here's the deal. While there will certainly be more details when and IF a press release is finally put out, the deal is, all of it in fact happened.

The problem today is, the Main Stream Media have lost all of their SOURCES and this is why SBYNews breaks these stories well before anyone else.

Look at the last big story out of Ocean City where a States Attorney from Elkton exposed himself and we broke that story THREE DAYS before any other media source even mentioned it. We also had all the photos from that incident, something else the media never provided as evidence.

The local media covers up all these stories because, well, it's Ocean City, the Family Friendly Resort. Their job is to tell you the weather will be perfect all weekend, even though there's major storms on the way. It's all about the advertising MONEY.

Ocean City is NOT the Ocean city of past. Why, because the liberal agenda's, teaching from schools, justice system. I dont care if you believe in police, or if they are or beat people or not. IF you dont fear breaking the law, you turn a society of no morality into thugs, and punks.

There has to be a fear, respect of the law, or any community turns into a gang bang, I can do what I want because you cant touch me society - in other words the new Liberal Society that Bernie Sanders wants.

It is the truth, you know it - and it needs to start in the schools. Get rid of the liberal teachers, bring God not Allah back to the US, and kick these kids asses and send them home crying to momma.

I suggest people go on the Ocean City Facebook page and inundate their site with the truth. Let people know what is going on---social media!

Joe, thanks for keeping us up to date with what is happening in OC. You are right I have a scanner at home and there was a ton of EMS calls for stabbings, women being punched, strangled the other day. Yet limited info anywhere. It was this same week last year where there was a crazy amount of crime too. It used to be senior week was teenagers drinking and acting stupid. Now it is full of dangerous criminals.

Ocean City better come down HARD - zero tolerance on EVERYTHING - with this crowd.
"Safety" is the #1 concern to visitors and vacationers in ANY resort, not just OC.
To hell with PC; to hell with profiling; to hell with possibly offending someone on a stop and search.
We all know who is causing the problem. It's no secret.
The authorities better wake up and wake up soon - like TODAY! Tough - extremely tough - law enforcement is what locals and visitors alike really want.
Without it, this town will look like Sandy Point within one summer season, and Atlantic City with a few years.
LE: It's up to you to save this city. Are you listening?

Now the women want to go topless on OC. Have they thought about the possibility of increased rapes and sexual assaults because of this? We have only been in our summer residence here on the shore for days and already thinking of selling our place and staying in the south. Cannot believe all the crimes here on the shore and most of it going unreported by the local media.
Thank you Joe for making us aware of what is happening locally.

I had to laugh because WBOC was promoting OC and what a "great time to go to the beach today and this weekend!" No one word about the crime there. Thank god we have alternative media like sbynews to report this!!!!

@ 8:59am - The reason young people today have "no fear" of breaking the law, is because Social Services took away the right to spank our children. They taught them that if anyone raised a hand or even their voice to them, then they could report it to Social Services. This caused the parents/elders to be "in fear" of the youngsters, hence, now they "think" they are invincible. Many people want to blame "bad parenting" on the parents, when in all actuality, it is the fault of the system! Government is way too "in charge" and is completely ruining our societies! We as a people, need to take back our communities. We need to start busting their asses and making them actually work for the things that they want instead of always giving things to them that are un-earned. We need to teach them respect. We need to have "scared straight" initiatives to combat potential problems. Until we stand up to our youth and the government and let them know that its "our way or the highway" they will all continue to walk all over society as if they own it. Just my opinion.

OC is not the "family friendly" resort it promotes itself to be. Back in the 1950-s, 60's and 70's, the resort did not have shoulder seasons, did not have a winter season, and other than "June Bug" 2 week period was a quiet resort with a lot of fun. People got drunk and raised hell for sure but not to the extent it is today. Most alcohol-fueled incidents were minor compared to today's culture. As minorities and foreign students began coming to OC, they brought their culture, their value system, and their lack of understanding to America law with them. Add in today's mindset where there is absolutely no respect for anyone or anything and you have the denigration of a town. Moved from there in 2013 to east Wicomico county. Its pretty bad when you have to move to the Salisbury area - with all its problems - to get away from a "family friendly" resort.

I supposed at 10:00 AM on a Wednesday morning it might be somewhat safe to take your kids up on the Boardwalk but I would rather take my kids to Nags Head of other Outer Banks communities. Goodbye OC.

Welcome to reality folks this type of activity has been going on for years. No one wanted to talk about it now the fine political people of ocean City and Worcester county should wake up. This shit happens every day in all parts of this country especially in this state. And yes it is because of the political atmosphere can't hurt no one's feelings or don't smack your children cause you can be charged with child abuse.
There are so many excuses but the reality is that oc is about to have one of the worst Summers you have ever seen and that's just the tip of the iceberg wait till all the good herion from up the road hits here stand by.
Lord please watch over the police and fire and EMS personnel that have to deal with not only these issues but the public and political people who think that they know how to do our jobs.

When was the last time you took your girlfriend or daughters on a midnight stroll downtown? Same for the council members. Shame on all of you. You wanted a liberal paradise with a town full of criminals and no police enforcement anywhere (except for drunk driving and your own neighborhoods) and now you got it. All the rest of you, make sure you don't smoke anywhere because then the mayor and council will take action!

Yes because when a woman is topless she is therefore asking to be raped/assaulted. How about we just keep reinforcing the fact that men and women are never asking to be raped, people are just awful and those people are the problem, not the women going topless. But yes, it's sad all of the crime happening down there these days...

As a soldier I can tell you that these types of people only respect one thing...strength and resolve to fight them. They will ALWAYS take advantage of the situation. The liberal mindset of hugging it out is so ridiculous when I try to put myself in their shoes to try and understand them from a soldiers perspective, I get choked up with laughter and then get really sad at the state of people's resolve to combat evil. These people are not angry because they are oppressed...they are criminals pure and simple. Media spin and the last administration underwent a huge propaganda campaign the last 8 years turning black criminals into saints and everything white as the enemy. Now look at america...riots everywhere...civil unrest...Liberal hate groups popping up everywhere and the hedonistic lifestyle skyrocketing. Now we think we can play God with the environment and the governments of the world are cashing in on our fears. Humanity is coming to a head.

You don't fix violence, you suppress it and the only way to suppress the sick evil people in the world is through the threat of severe consequences. The original poster is correct. You can live in your fantasy world of unicorns and rainbows where evil doesn't exist, at least until that evil sets its sights on you or someone you love. Then you may become aware of what is necessary. It's a tough world. Good people have to be tougher than the bad people or the bad will take over. Preaching love and peace won't change a damn thing.

You don't need to hit your kids to discipline and raise them properly. The problem is many parents are too lazy to be bothered with raising their kids properly. They keep their face in their cell phone while an iPad raises their kids. Spanking or not has nothing to do with it. You can be a good or bad parent either way. It is the parents fault 100% if their kid is not raised right.

I can't find any evidence that a body was found near 33rd street at that McDonalds. The police report shows that a vehicle was damaged but no victims have been reported at this time. Maybe the body found was in a different incident but certainly not connected to the shots fired at 2:45 am near the McDonald's at 33rd St.

As for the person being shot in the leg, some idiot had a firearm, accidentally discharged it and hurt himself, then buried the weapon on the beach before seeking medical attention. Consequently the beach between 81st and 85th streets had to be closed while they tried to recover the weapon for everyone's safety. This was hardly the case of a 'thug'. This is the case of someone being wholly irresponsible and negligent. Likely a teen.

As for the stabbing, I have very little information about that one, but there was an altercation at a liquor store and someone was stabbed. The person that is in custody from that incident is a 19 year old from Columbia, MD. Hardly a 'thug' infested area of Maryland though. I think we are all safe.

Yes, we have some stupid people out there and it sounds like some kids during senior week are making some bad choices as happens every year, but I think we can all relax.

Family Resort? Really....stabbings, shootings, fights, bars on every street corner...drunks stumbling about on the boardwalk. NICE family atmosphere! OC WAS once a great place to live and vacation, not anymore. The town has completely lost control of the resort! The scanner has been full of crimes this week including a strong-armed robbery yet the news media refuses to put that out there. The news media is 'afraid' that if the truth were in print then it would damage the image of the resort and fewer people would vacation here. It's always about the dollar, never about the safety of the people who live, work and vacation here. Family Resort. what a joke!

Why is it always good,school,and bad parents. The world in general is to blame. Think about it what is out there for young adults to do, yea you can teach them what to do,how to do it, and disaplen them if they don't. When they are out on there own then what still everyone​ else is fault.

This is why you should be able to carry from other states in Maryland. Punk kids want to get "drunk" and partying and then their friends end up daring them to do something that they normally wouldn't. Its not the police's problem, its the parents of the children that let their kids go down unsupervised.

More Police officers would be a step in the right direction. I barely see any while I am down there.

I'm utterly disgusted by all of the racist comments these tragedies have inspired readers to preach. I also love the political jabs at gov'ment and socialism threaded in here as well. Tragically, criminal elements often also come from white America as well. See Hollingsworth Manor in Elkton up here in Cecil County. Even when I was a child some 40 years ago that was still the biggest criminal element in an otherwise quiet county. It's only gotten worse and it isn't "charm city's" fault. To the poster who said this is what Bernie wants? Really? I don't think this has been any part of his policies or the results of his policies up in Vermont. Finally, God and Allah are actually the same word, just in two different languages, so to the muslim basher of foreign haters trolling this thread, put your confederate flag back in the box and shove it back in the attic. You lost. Get over it.

Unknown because there are a LOT of bad parents. It's a huge part of the problem. Raising kids right is the single best thing you can do in order for them to turn out to be good people. And it's not easy to be a good parent so many just glide through and let the internet raise their kids.

Ocean City's problem has been the officials have always lacked forward thinking skills and common sense. It's become a cement city and a conglomerate of tacky looking, second rate buildings that if one were plucked in the middle of OC wouldn't know they weren't in the high rise projects of some inner city.
Too many bars and not enough attractions anymore. Thank God and God Bless the Trimper family who while make very little profit still don't want to be known as the generation who closed Trimpers. (I watched the Fox show about them.)
OC is NOT an expensive place to vacation when you have an over abundance of residential rental units like it does. Contrary to what the rules state people rent these units and shove as many people as they can in for a week. The cost per person then is minimal and worth the inconvenience of being crowded for a week to them.
Not only did the poor planning create traffic nightmares but it keeps the cost to rent a unit low. With the lower prices come an element that is prone to destruction and often violence.

Totally agree. This generation has no respect for themselves, others and authority. And are NEVER held accountable.

I hope these nasty women have to cover up why do the few always try to tell the rest of us what to do. I grew up when you did what you were told or else. We respected others but more imporimportantly we respected ourselves. These kids now are not taught anything. I used to work in middle school and the stories I and myself could tell.

This is nothing new. Sorry to burst your bubble. I've spent my whole life vacationing, hanging out, etc... In the early 90's a friend that was with a group of us, was a victim of a hate crime. It was awful...nothing was done. Btw, the crime was committed by a pick up truck full of "white thugs" , if that's what you wish to call them. A thug is a thug...it has nothing to do with race. Some get away with their crimes WAY more often! Fact!

I remember senior week back in '93 and while there was a lot of intoxication, I don't remember shootings and stabbings. Maybe a drunk brawl here and there but it's nothing like how it used to be. We don't even go to the boardwalk now that I have a family after dark because of the violence. It's sad how OC has gone downhill....and yes I know this for a fact because I also went to Salisbury State until '98 and it wasn't bad then either.

Read an article that cleared it up better. The life guards will not enforce it but the police will be called to take care of it.

Hollingsworth is nothing compared to Somers Cove projects.

Oh please. You do realize that spanking rates are still around 85-90%. Spanking hasn't decreased in the slightest. You know what has increased? Broken homes with no fathers. Over 50% of babies are now born out of wedlock. A whopping 85% of men in prison come from single mom homes in poverty with little to no contact with their fathers. Stop blaming everything on spanking unless you have hardcore proof.

This is not surprising to me, it's been building up for a few years. My extended family used to vacation in Ocean City before they poured millions into their advertising and started building all those condo buildings. We used to rent houses...not condos (where the quality of your vacation is dependent on the people below, beside and above you). As soon as they started advertising OC on television a different kind of people started coming down. Once we realized we could not be on the beach without people blasting their music or cussing and damning the whole time, we started vacationing elsewhere. It used to be a lovely family vacation.

ActuallY, BCPS started Graduation back on May 29. Senior go down to OC anytime after that.

Anyone who wants to get a teaching degree and come teach children within the guidelines of the current system...be my guest...the schools do have a reaponsibility to teach morals and respect for one another, but if you didn't give your kid a moral compass and sense of civic duty as soon as they were born and raise them with restraint and a strong work ethic,...Often these kids are the ones that turn into unruly, lawbreaking, police disrespecting adults.

Being black is not being a thug, Jackasses...being a thug is being criminal....I take offense to this discussion...Is their anyone with a lick of intelligence left in this nation or are we all doomed to cut each other down from our separate stereotypical, prejudicial perspectives...never heard so much drivel. It's as bad some of the crap coming out of DC and the White House. God help us!

Oc PD, keep banning laser pointers, ticketing out of state motorists for tinted shields on their helmets and arresting people for pissing on dumpsters... That will help...

Without a respectful fear of laws we have out of control gang bangs. We are a Christian country, there will be no gang banging going on in OC!! I think threesomes is the line.

If this is how a family resort like Ocean City is going to be they are going to lose big bucks. First it was top less ladies on the beach n now robberys n killings. What is this world coming to can't even enjoy the public beaches.

It's June bug month, these kids come down here for fun and don't care about anything else. I lived in OC for 2 years right on the ocean at 89th street, I would watch all the kids throw the lifeguards stands in the ocean, jump from one deck to the other at 14 stories up, they just don't care and that was 25/30 years ago, I can only imagine what it's like now.

Look no further than Salisbury for the bad elements that are coming here.

hope they get it under control before it becomes another Virginia beach. Social media and liberal government are giving the thugs the upper hand

I've avoided OC for years because if its rowdy nature. I'm seeing a lot of political bias about the cause, but can we agree that we want a safe OC? I'm thinking that would require clear laws and good policing. Do we have that?

It's not june bugs. It's thugs trying to control what they call turf. Ocean City better get control of them soon. They will have their own ghettos in different parts of Ocean City. They will ruin it, if you so not get control of them. Put a stop to it O.C.

Joy said...

I am so sad. We spent two weeks every summer in O.C. as kids, while on summer vacation growing-up, and the worst things you would ever hear about were kids getting caught making-out (not sex) under the boardwalk...or on the life guard stands at night, (I am not admitting to personal knowledge of this behavior...lol) or an occasional drunk teenager being evicted from the Pier Ballroom for being too rowdy or an occasional FIST fight in a Boardwalk bar late at night because a drunk guy thought he saw another drunk guy flirting with his girlfriend. I hope the Ocean City officials can get this problem eradicated, like yesterday, because Ocean City has always been one of the true gems in Maryland and THUGS shouldn't be allowed to ruin it for the millions who love being there...like me.
