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.

Agreed.

Where is the national media outrage?

This is on video, so there is no question who is guilty

Where is the national media outrage?

Do white people even count?

Are they expected to be targets of black criminals?

Why is this not being covered on the national level?

Lots of feral losers are waiting in urban cores to crack your head. The new America...I guess.

I recently bought another CCW-friendly handgun that came with two magazines. I’ve usually carried with just one loaded mag in the gun. Now am carrying the extra mag - they’re all loaded with hollow-points. You just can’t figure a bad situation being just one-on-one any more.

Are they expected to be targets of black criminals?

Yes,they are. And,it's only going to get worse.
When the law-abiding citizens who have done nothing wrong,work hard and try to be good citizens in their community are prohibited from protecting themselves,the criminal element who delight in preying on them are emboldened and encouraged to the nth degree.

I for one am sick and tired of it.I know where it's going,and I value my life and the lives of my family.
I have no right to walk down the street unmolested any more,and for no other reason than my skin color.
I refuse to be easy pickings for anyone. I've had it.That's why i'm packing.The law be damned.

Do white people even count?

They do to you and they do to me. Act accordingly. Don't worry about anybody else.
