Seeing a man break down on camera, because he was treated like a slave...yes I am going there...a SLAVE.

WHAT FUCKING YEAR IS THIS AGAIN?

I am so disappointed with my race, it is embarrassing to be a white man.

and besides, I'm sick of having perfectly good words taken away from me because nitwits overuse them and use them inappropriately.

A thug to me is any bucket headed, no necked moron who is muscle for hire and never thinks beyond that job description. That doesn't apply to teenagers in the street.

The originals, the thugee, were a criminal gang in India.

in Ireland and the UK, the thugs are all white.

Police who act like criminals are thugs, no matter their race.

Criminals,who hurt people are thugs.

Post game rioters are thugs...

I hate that somehow now this word that's really appropriate applied to a whole slew of people is now suddenly off limits?



Sigh

“And what about the other officers in that video? The answer to you is they will be under investigation as well,” Inkster city manager Richard Marsh said during a recent news conference.

is indiscriminate. These officers are thugs, rioters are thugs, criminals are thugs, Bush/Cheney are thugs. Thugs are people who use power to attack those who they deem weak and take what the weak hold. Life, money, countries, oil, you name it.
