The TRUE story of the St. Patrick's attack on man in Baltimore. Unbelievable police covered this up. http://t.co/QEg0EcNl

Twitchy told you in April about a St. Patrick’s Day beating video that sparked outrage on Twitter and beyond. One man was arrested, and the Baltimore police are seeking three others.
This weekend, the Baltimore Sun reported that rampant violence across the city that day was downplayed by BPD officials:
As an unseasonably warm St. Patrick’s Day drew to a close in Baltimore, teens by the hundreds swarmed downtown, keeping one step ahead of police while battling from corner to corner, mostly with fists, sometimes with knives.
As authorities watched from a helicopter and on video from surveillance cameras, youths marched seemingly at will through the Inner Harbor and streets north and west, frequently clashing that Saturday night. Dozens of officers called in from across the city scrambled to keep up with the attacks, shutting key intersections and trying to push the youths away from the center of tourism.
“I need somebody to go to Pratt and Light [streets] for the male who was assaulted, Charles and Pratt for the assault, Pratt and Light again for the juveniles,” a police dispatcher urgently called out in a single breath amid the melee. “I need somebody to go to Pratt and Light, a medic is trying to get through. Somebody has stomped a male in the crowd. The [ambulance] just passed a large group of kids assaulting the male with one child on the ground.”
The full scope of the March 17 disturbance has not previously come to light. Recordings from more than three hours of dispatch tapes obtained by The Baltimore Sun through the state’s Public Information Act reveal a far more violent landscape than police initially described — as well as several incidents, including a reported knifing at a Harborplace pavilion, that were not disclosed.
A police commander and the department’s chief spokesman defended how the agency confronted the youths, making 10 arrests, saying that at no time did events spiral out of control.
The crime wave continued this weekend:
Nothings say nice weekend weather in #Baltimore like random reports of mayhem & violence. First the stabbing earlier, now hearing a shooting

One of the funnier parody accounts on Twitter is “Florida Man” and its collection of tweets highlighting odd stories that involve people form Florida.For example:
And:
Which brings us to John Podesta who calledMarco Rubio a “Florida man” in response to a comment Rubio made about Hillary Clinton’s energy policies:
Here’s the tweet Podesta linked to:
Nice try with the mocking, John, but no. Florida’s eroding coastline is“just normal.” That’s what ocean waves and storms do to beaches! Coastlines will always change, so stop denying the science:
Now, we fully expect Podesta’s answer to be that global warming makesthe erosion worse. Well, that’s not true either. The problem in Florida with beach erosion — with or without global warming — is that there’s too much development too close to the beach. Here’s a good article from the AP on the battle in Florida between environmentalists and business/home owners:
“These beaches have been here for thousands of years and nobody renourished them. They just naturally kept themselves wide and beautiful,” said Christian Wagley, an environmentalist who lives on the Florida Panhandle. “The problem comes when we come and draw that line in the sand and put that building there that won’t move, next to a beach that has to move in order to survive and be healthy.”
And:
“They want to subsidize the risks of some of the riskiest development in the state of Florida. We believe that what is happening on St. Joseph Peninsula is perpetually subsidized beach replenishment. It’s the poster child of failed coastal management policy in Florida,” Appleson said.
Exactly.A healthy coastline is one that’s allowed to ebb and flow and to suggest otherwise is just wrong.
