How Awful.
Black youths beat, stripped and robbed a tourist in Baltimore on St. Patricks Day.
The crowd laughed and joked as they filmed the assault.

UPDATE— YouTube pulled the original video that showed the mob assaulting the tourist so I posted the video from the local news station.
CBS Local reported:
Caught on camera– a tourist being beaten in downtown Baltimore and instead of helping him, a crowd laughs and steals his belongings…
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,” Det. Monroe said.
Those who’ve seen the video are outraged.
UPDATE: Here’s the original video up to the point where the mob strips him naked.
