I see this guy every year at the mall. He’s usually not clean-shaven and wears red velvet.

I only guess he used a Crown Vic cuz the reindeer were sick or something?

I swear this guy is from Central Mississippi. I have seen him before but I cannot remember where. It will come to me sooner or later. Maybe I am wrong but he sure does look familiar.

determinedone, i put you on ignore, but the bottom line is the guy does not look like the thugs we are use to seeing, rob banks. he does look like someone who not out of need for crack but has fallen on hard times has made a stupid mistake.

Bernie Madoff is a thug and cleaned out more bank accounts than most, but he didn’t look like a thug.

This discussion is a little on the stupid side.

Thug also means “1. a cruel or vicious ruffian, robber or murderer. 2. one of a former group of professional robbers and murders in India, who strangled their victims.”

So if you are calling someone a thug then you are being a racist against people from India.

Exactly my point! A thug is classified by their actions or their intent to commit a crime. Kx thanks for validating my point.
