Ah, epithet inflation. In recent years 'thugs' has always meant 'scary black guys.'

Only time I was ever in Philly I had taken a wrong turn and was looking for the Northeast Extension, a very helpful citizen said follow me and he drove us right to the ramp

I'm beginning to think thugs are people like Zimmerman and this most recent guy that shot the kid in the SUV.

A very common (and less destructive) tactic also employed by unions against non-union construction contractors is to call in anonymous safety complaints to OSHA. This has gone on for decades and continues to this day.

No shit.

The story of western Michigan restaurant owner Ibrahim Parlak. Locked up for a year in some shithole in Detroit by the Bush administration with no charges filed because he was tagged as a terrorist for being a member of the Kurdish PKK in Turkey (our convenient ally).

Members of the same Kurdish PKK living across the border in Iraq, were enemies of Saddam Hussein (our sometime convenient enemy), and were recognized as freedom fighters by the Bush administration.

PS - ten years later and Barack Obama has still not lifted the sword of possible deportation hanging over this guy's head. Just one more nauseating disappointment with Obama. WTF Barack? Just order the DHS to drop this thing. This is not why we supported you.
