There were 800 personnel responsible for security on duty that day.
What the heck is the mayor’s definition of “law enforcement”?!
Great tune. Sadly, these thugs have survived to kill another day. They should have been shot and killed at the scene.
Thank you.
“thugs.” Thuggee - Wikipedia
Thuggee (UK: /θʌˈɡiː/, US: /ˈθʌɡi/) are actions and crimes carried out by Thugs, historically, organised gangs of professional robbers and murderers in India. The English word thug traces its roots to the Hindi ठग (ṭhag), which means ‘swindler’ or ‘deceiver’. Related words are the verb thugna (’to deceive’), from the Sanskrit स्थग (sthaga ‘cunning, sly, fraudulent’) and स्थगति (sthagati, ‘he conceals’).[2] This term, describing the murder and robbery of travelers, was popular in the northern parts of the Indian subcontinent, especially the northern and eastern regions of India.[3]

If the shoe fits, wear it!
Absolutely correct. Thuggee.
Well, it originally had nothing to do with race in a KC context. There were both Hindu and Muslim Thuggees IIRC. Brits put them down in India in 1800s, which current folks might consider racist there in hindsight.
THUG is a BEHAVIOR, not a color or ethnicity.
there is the subtle difference between the shooter and the shootee, no?
if my ass is being shot at, and i am 50 years removed from combat, the shootER is a thug. i am the shootEE defending my ass, so i am not the thug.
by all those 50 PLUS years of seeing folks shot at, all starting in the hallowed halls of high school, prefaced by all those jerks shooting up their own cities in the ‘60’s, then southeast asia for 3 years, then back to more idiots shooting up their own cities, to today.
i think i can say with some comfort, that john q public was shot at more by thugs than members of mr. q’s family .
Point was that regardless of the distinctions you rightly delineate, the Left wants the firearms to be blamed, regardless of the.... legally applied self defense. For political purposes leading to totalitarianism. Removal of the 2nd Amendment in total.
