Screw this POS...Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas.
Missouri Gov. Mike Parson used the word thug properly and accurately
Any gang committing murder and shooting kids fits the definition of “thug” a word which originated in india as “thugee.”
Thugee:
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 travellers, was popular in the northern parts of the Indian subcontinent, especially the northern and eastern regions of India.[3]
