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

I must be behind the times, when I heard 'thugs' I think gangster muscle. Dam you Hollywood!

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.
