Crowd Beats, Strips & Robs Tourist On St. Patrick’s Day; Incident Caught On Camera

BALTIMORE (WJZ)– Caught on camera– a tourist being beaten in downtown Baltimore, and instead of helping him, a crowd laughs and steals his belongings.

Mike Hellgren has the video and the investigation.

Police hope this video will get the attackers off the streets.

The video shows a man being punched in the face in downtown Baltimore. You can hear his head hit the pavement near the entrance to Courthouse East.

Instead of helping, people laugh.

Then, the crowd strips him naked and takes his car keys, watch, money and iPhone.

It happened St. Patrick’s Day. Police say the victim was out partying and woke up the next day at his hotel, cut and bruised with no idea why.

“He had every right to leave wherever he was and get back to where he needed to be safely. Their behavior was just criminal,” Det. Nicole Monroe of the Baltimore City Police Department said.

“Not only was he relieved of his property after he was assaulted, but there were a lot of other things done to him that are disturbing to look at, and we want to bring these people to justice,” Monroe said.

Those who’ve seen the video are outraged.

“Oh, my God! Where’s the police?” Antonio Richardson of Baltimore said after seeing the video. “It gives us a bad name, Baltimore. And people don’t want to, you know, trust us to come down here.”

“It’s surprising, but it’s dangerous,” another person said.

“It’s awful, obviously. You just have to be really careful on those days. You can’t just be wandering around the streets,” Diego Tapia said.

Police say they’ve gotten leads but made no arrests.

“The public is going to be helpful in this case, and they have been helpful thus far,” Monroe said.

Those who filmed it for fun and posted it for the world to see unwittingly provided cops and prosecutors with the key evidence in this vicious attack.

The victim didn’t even know that such a video existed until a relative watched it online and told him.

After the attack, people bragged about it on camera. Tens of thousands of people have seen the video online.

Crowd Beats, Strips & Robs Tourist On St. Patricks Day; Incident Caught On Camera

Freedm Summer

MLK is turning over in his grave. These cowardly gangs are not the result of his life’s devotion. It is the result of the Jessee Jackson’s of the world corrupting MLK’s message of peace & equality to one of entitlement & confrontation.

Buttchop

There’s no reason to believe that MLK, had he lived, would be any different from the rest of the race baiiters today. Just look at Oprah, when the rubber hits the road, she’s just as big a hater as any of them.

Derek

MLK was a man of God and did his work. I whole-heartedly believe that had Martin Luther King lived to this day he wouldn’t be fighting whites anymore but rather confronting those of his own race that preach hate and entitlement. MLK was always a man that wanted equality and for men to be judged on their character not the color of thier skin. He would stand for what the truth and what is right. It looks like the dreams of Malcolm X are becoming more true today than that of MLK.
Jacobite

Somebody send a copy of this video to John Derbyshire, so he can give a multi-media version of “The Talk” next time.

Septimus

Their behavior is the result of their being raised by The State! End welfare and make these creeps get jobs. Then they won’t have time to be thugs.

Matt

you just saw their jobs. This quote is from an article called “It’s all about race now” “Perhaps because black males between 16 and 36, though only 2 to 3 percent of the population, are responsible for a third of all our crimes.”

Fairness

Actually MLK was not as peace loving as LIberal media like NBC-TV/MSNBC and CNN portray him.

MLK played some good cop bad cop with the authorities. There was a vicious mob of Blacks that MLK controlled that he threatened the authorities with if they did not play ball with him.

MLK would basically tell the authorities that if he didn’t get what he wanted……”It would be a long hot summer in the city”. wink wink

The problem is white people have to start speaking out more and demand that the Left-wing supremacists in the TV media like NBC-TV/MSNBC stop always putting blacks on a pedestal now just because bad things happened to them over a hundred years ago with slavery.

These Left-wing TV media idiots will probably never change so you’re better off just boycotting/shutting of this TV media and listen to other media like radio or internet instead that you think is more fairminded about race.
alnga

This is the type of behavior advocated by Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton et al. This nonsense will go on until the voices of unreason are silenced.
bikertrash

So where are Sharpton ,Jackson,Farrakhan and Obama on this one,or is it that they can’t find any political capital in exploiting this story because maybe it wasn’t the “right perps or victims for their agenda.
Ron Burgundy

Didn’t even need to see the video to know the color of the victim and the attackers. Blacks are savages, and act like chimpanzees attacking in packs and no mercy when the person is unconscious. All back to the jungle to savage each other.

http://leterrip.wordpress.com leterrip

I had the same reaction when I read the headline. There was no doubt this victim was white and the black psychopaths were as merciless as usual. Come on, Jesse and dull ton let us partake of your social wisdom.

http://ny9solyndra.wordpress.com NY9Solyndra

The perps look like Sons of Obama.
Greg

Gee, am I surprise…a bunch of blacks attacking a white. Nope, so racism there, no hate crime…just a few of Jesse’s boys in a chimp out.

C’mon boys, let’s see your bravery in a concealed carry state.
SpeakOpenHonest

After seeing this video this morning, and realizing that the media is ignoring it and focusing in Trevon Martin, makes me want to say “Shoot him again and he will stop rolling over!”

Im sick of it!!

/Gosh Where’s the FBI hate crime squad?

Annee

Thanks to Matt Drudge for, once again, informing the public of news that the liberal media covers-up!

Jones

Took him long enough though!!!!!! I saw this on dailykenn over a week ago…

rbblum

Was beinning to think that the Drudge Report was so very alone in the alternative, aggregate news services. THANKS very much for mentioning Daily Kenn in order to broaden the knowledge base of alternative news services.

RBB

Jones

True Annee, it’s about time I said it too – Thank you Matt Drudge.

Corey

Yes thanks matt drudge for inciting these racist ass crackers to go on here and blow up every message board with Obama hate messages and kill N****rs comments.

So what because this one white guy gets punched it makes it okay for Zimmerman to kill Trayvon? And are they not calling for the arrest of these assailants? Meanwhile George Zimmerman sits on his ass and gets a license to kill

And im sure no white guy ever got knocked out by a black guy when Bush was President, blame it all on the democrats.

You say you dont want a socialist state yet you appear to blame the government for not controlling the actions of every single person in the country…which in turn would be Socialism.
Cara C

Yes, thank you, Matt Drudge.

The national mainstream media COVERS UP black on white crime because it doesn’t fit their distorted leftist narrative that whites are evil racists and blacks are noble, oppressed victims. It magnifies white on black crime, even to the point where they’re now calling a Hispanic man white to try to fit their template. The reality is that black on white crime is many times more common than white on black crime, and black on black crime is worse than that.

What we need from our media is an honest representation of the facts, not distortions and propaganda. You can’t begin to fix problems that you won’t even acknowledge.
Mark Grund

@Corey It is very telling that your racial term for white people is spelled out and used by yourself while having to throw a couple of asterisks (stars for you) in your spelling of ni99er to get it past the censors. Go f**k yourself.
midasrex

Corey, I know it’s tough, but try to quit being such a f#$%ing idiot.

NVRAT

Where is Jackson and Sharpton??? this man needs help and the city needs to be ramped up for racial pandering. Comon you two old hypocrites get up here and help. No Justice No Peace, right Jesee and Al ???

Sherry

I am African-American. Believe me you will not find African-Americans fighting for the injustice and downright psychopathic behavior of African-Americans who display this type of behavior over and over again. My daughter was physically assaulted by an African-American and some of the people you see on TV advocated the physical assault against my 14-year-old child. Hypocrites come in all shapes and sizes.

joe

what part of africa are you from?
Bob Cook

Thank you for speaking up.

ed

If you like this kind of stuff- going on–just keep on voting democrat
Tai Pan

This is not news. Nothing will come of it. Now if this was a bunch of White Guys hitting a black guy (3% chance) then it would be news, call for hearings, the race pimps would be out in force, etc., etc.. I have to admit my attitude is getting a lot worse. i have no time anymore for all of this politically correct nonsense and race pimps. In my state we have concealed carry and I always carry. It’s loaded and ready. Period. It’s just that simple.

Jack

AMEN!!!!
Ash

Thumbs up!
Mike

Blacks are violent people. I stay away from them as much as possible.

Silvermoney

Boycott them, Do not hire them.
Tim.

Sad to say, you are correct. I have watched a Black Father beat his daughter real hard with a belt and she had not reached her 4th Birthday. Seen him at church for the past 20 years. I’l be leaving the U.S soon, before it implodes. Good luck to all of the Liberals who voted for this Anti-American Puppet. “Oh yes we can!”
Bruce

That is just not true. I have several friends who also are “black” and they are compassionate, loving, family oriented folks that you would enjoy being around.. The violence has to do with non racial issues like values, morality, spirituality, involved parents. It doesn’t matter what the the race is, when those things aren’t in place the kids tend to go bad.

Joselito

Where’s Sharpton and Jackson? Oh, that’s right…this is a black on white crime, they’re not interested. And if any arrests are made, Perry will claim racial profiling.
Fredrick39

Why we need to put the Blacks on a reservation where they can attack each others and make the rest of safe.

Dave49

We are, its called Detroit.
Silvermoney

By reservation do you mean zoo?

Amanda G.

Ignorant obama voters.

FusterCluck

I’m pretty sure that none of these neanderthals are registered voters. Though that is not to say that Acorn didn’t sign them up and vote for them…

sam8131

they still vote, probably multiple times.
Mark in ATL

Neanderthal’s were white,and they had more commen sence not to attack the provider of their food.
Keith

I am certain they are on the Welfare wagon helping spread the wealth around a little!

Annee

The election of Obama has caused race relations to dramatically deteriorate…where are the reporters asking WHY? WHY is beating up whitey now considered a sport and not a crime?
Joe E in the IE

Pour enough booze and crack into Obama’s “sons,” and . . .
Server

Well, it didn’t take long for CBS to delete Dr. Manning…. no surprise there. They’ll ban me next: Google Dr. Manning…find truth. Censorship THRIVES on the LSM.

Mike

Leftwing ideas/views can only dominate others within closed systems.

Because of the internet, the Left has lost control.

Thank you for the Dr Manning post.

rbblum

Dr Manning is one heck of an inspirational individual . . . .And an excellent source to present to others in the various self-proclaimed disadvantaged communities in order to challenge their communities’ addiction to government programs while under the spell of an inferiority complex.

Everett Mann

Lock your car doors, do not approach, do not give money, don’t give a light or bum a cigarette or listen to b.s. about tough economic times. Armed criminal thugs of any race should be dealt with like feral pigs and stacked up like cord wood for public display. As for concealed carry in Maryland…you’ll just have to defend yourself and your rights at a moment-by-moment basis. There are cops who should get the Nuremburg treatment for enforcing laws they know are unconstitutional. Unfortunately, they must be dealt with too. And in all instances, remember that dead men don’t sue.

whitefools

Wag The Dog- I just finished Ilena Mercer’s “into the Cannibal’s Pit”. A true horror story of the black sub-humans running a Nation. Anne Paton is the widow of Alan Paton:The author of “Cry the beloved Country”. I ran across her on a blog. She was run out of South Africa by the black violence. She had been car-jacked and Assaulted in her own gated home,and almost killed on other days.The good news is that the blacks will kill each other off after all whites are gone. Only a toxic waste dump will remain. Pay Moslems to move into black areas and then tell them the blacks are insulting Allah and their Prophet. Then get the popcorn and beer and enjoy watching them kill each other.
whitefools

Seven days in May.Read it.
richard

BRAVO….well said.
boheb

I concur. Name the date. I am ready and so is my ammo.
Mark in ATL

Use the same common sense as when driving through one of those zoos that you take your car through and you should be okay.

Sal T

I always carry bananas at all times. When approached by wild primates, I simply toss a few bananas at them and run for my life as they go after the food.

jbrock

Is this a hate crime? Just saying!

Jeff Potts

Hate crime is a ridiculous distinction. Crime is inextricably woven with hate. Manson killing numerous people. Was that a crime of love? Just another inept attempt at legislation to stop the crime epidemic.

kelly

If I had a son ….he would have looked like the victim.
Annee

I am waiting for your wonderful insight on this racial crime, Mr. President…I’m waiting…Mr. President? I can’t hear you, Mr. President? Are you there? Oops – I forgot, it’s Saturday and I am sorry to interrupt your golf game.

Stan

Please, Annee… today is a BASKETBALL day, tomorrow is golf.

Annee

Stan – oops, I got the wrong sport…wrong day…so sorry!

y0y

Dont you love how Zimmerman is instantly branded a racist and declared as being white (which is funny bc he is mixed) when the facts at best are murky. The media doesnt hesitate to play the WHITE ON BLACK bs. Yet everytime there is a black on white racist attack like this one the media always plays down or outright ignores the colors of the attackers and victims. Racism is alive and well, just a shame its against whites. Then people wonder why the likes of Trayvon get shot. Whites cant get justice. Blacks want to be animals. Well, when know one will do something about the animal threatening you and your family, you put that animal down yourself. Caucasians, buy guns and defend yourself. If this guy put a bullet in the first animals head wanna bet he would not have been humiliated or robbed?
Oh and before you idiots start, I have no issue with blacks. I have an issue with animals. Sadly many blacks act like animals. Not all but many but in the end animals like this of any color deserve to be put down, period.

Silvermoney

If Zimmerman walks, I would no doubt think he would sue rev jessica, fat mouth al. the new pink panthers, naacp and dull spike lee, to name a few. Hopefully he will come out of this financially secure.

Rick

White people should be marching to city hall and demanding arrests. In fact, white hoodies marching to the city hall. If you don’t have a white hoodie, wear a white sheet.
The time is coming where America will be tamed once again and it isn’t going to be pretty.

Mark in ATL

Sorry, but white’s have to go to work to support the animals and the politicians know this. We are too busy paying the bill to complain.

Ricardoh

The sad thing is if he had been armed and shot these thugs he would have been Zimmermaned.
snappercat

Guess the president and his minions are choosing to ignore this.

RoccoP

He doesn’t want to UPSET HIS BASE!

HopAlongBob

The race war has begun. Get out of the cities if you are white, because they’re going to burn this summer.

Big Bear

I’ve posted this many times…

Glad. I. Live. In. Idaho.
k

the race war began decades ago… only now are people waking up to the reality… but it is too late for many…
AMERICAN DEFENDER

Not on my watch. I have enough firepower to defend the entire city.

Stan

And yet only one trigger finger, Rambo.

Nate Higgers

Get out? No…we need to TAKE BACK the cities! They busted our blocks, now it’s time to bust some of theirs.

amplitude jones

Africans will never be happy here. We should send them to africa, and after a few years,when they are begging to return, when they are blessing their ancestors for having been slaves so they could be born Americans,we can tell them- OK for only three hundred million, come back- the diamond mines are that way.

Stoat

Many blacks did return to Africa during the 1960′s and they were greeted primarily with hostility. In africa it’s all about tribal identity not skin color and militant American blacks had no clue at all.
Most returned to America, completely confused.

Kim Bailey

Gas Chambers to them animals!

CallingthePotwhatitis

US blacks to Africa and in return we take all the white from Africa. Great trade. I’d give all my life’s savings for this to be so.

Stan

just wanted to give a shout out to the CENSORS on this site that remove the comments with which they disagree. Way to be “fair” and “Impartial” you low-life, lying doosh bags!
mikesvoice

Maryland, wants to sell their “Landmark Locations” because they have mismanaged their financial house (think DemocRATs), can’t afford to protect the public because they would prefer to provide free college educations to illegal aliens, (think DemocRATs)….this is the result of extremely poor management State wide by a DemocRAT controlled State as well as Maryland’s major cities. Vote out the DemocRATs and Maryland may have a chance to survive!
Andy Helms

I am so tired of Black people acting like animals. Every time I see or hear about something like this it’s them. This is why i carry a gun.

Stan

I have a CCW permit but am smart enough to avoid places like this where the black attack machine lives. If you walk into this jungle with a gun then you deserve the mess you will be in. Keep your cracker butt and your money out of there and leave them to kill each other off.

dave

Stan, they are invading the white burbs with their homie friends so fuc you Nig.
Stan

dave- I’m a 100% honkey cracker like you, moron.
Mark in ATL

Stan, quit using Cracker and Honkey. I am tired of these words going unfiilterd through these comment boards. It is time we start standing up for OUR rights not to be called Racist names.
