What a Difference a Three-Piece Suit Makes 0
In the light of recent events, in which a few black looters in Baltimore were designated “thugs,” while many not-black bikers trying to kill each other in Waco were designated “overly-enthusiastic partisans,”* Tony Norman struggles to understand the meaning of the word “thug.” Here’s a bit; read the rest (emphasis added):
From what I can tell from this arbitrary distinction, the act of looting is what qualifies a person for designation as a thug. . . .
That’s why I was puzzled by an article in Thursday’s Post-Gazette that failed to identify as thugs four major banks that admitted looting the world’s global exchange markets between 2007 and 2013.
