Outrage abounds over Trump’s use of
word ‘thugs’ to describe Minn looters.
But, Obama used it too.

As rioters loot and burn portions of Minneapolis following the death of George Floyd, some Americans believe it’s more important to check President Donald Trump’s speech and choice of words to describe those who are committing criminal acts of destruction. Earlier Friday, the president took to Twitter decry the violence and the lawlessness, describing the perpetrators as “thugs.” “These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts.

If President Trump had called the rioters “Saints” the leftist and liberal Democrats and their race baiter accomplices would have been fraudulently “outraged”.

Only the black community can justify rioting and burning over a police incident. Liberal politicians and the media may take up their cause, but the radicalization and violence of the black community makes everyone else thankful they live elsewhere or begin planning to move away. The overwhelming majority people agree with TRUMP that these people are thugs or WORSE.

The liberal fake outrage is not convincing anyone. Trump called the looters thugs because that’s exactly what they are. Stealing and destroying property are not the acts of protesters. They are the acts of common criminals.

I don't care what obama said, President Trump is right without this implied consent from obama. He's a hypocrite and would still criticize the President for doing or saying what his lying hypocritical self did or said.

Well they sure aren't peaceful protesters. When people cross the line between being peaceful lawful protesters and turn into a destructive mob, then all peaceful means of defending one's property and safety go out the window.

Thugs is what these hoodlums are. Look up the definition - a common criminal. Thugs sounds good to me.

"Thug" is nicer than what most of US are calling them. I blame the media for inciting more protests around the country. Who would have known the officer in question had a second home in FL if WayDownByOrlando hadn't kept repeating it all day? Too bad for the wealthy neighbors with 100 protestors today.

Paid thugs at that. Is Minneapolis a hot bed of diversity Somali's too? If so, grab them and deport them pronto.

When would you use the term "thugs" if not for these looters?

[Lyrics The Kingston Trio - Merry Minuet]
They're rioting in Africa
They're starving in Spain
There's hurricanes in Florida
And Texas needs rain
The whole world is festering with unhappy souls
The french hate the Germans, the Germans hate the Poles
Italians hate Yugoslavs, South Africans hate the Dutch
And I don't like anybody very much!!
But we can be tranquil and thankful and proud
For man's been endowed with a mushroom-shaped cloud
And we know for certain that some lovely day
Someone will set the spark off
And we will all be blown away!!
They're rioting in Africa
There's strife in Iran
What nature doesn't so to us
Will be done by our fellow man

#18, that was Tom Lehrer, who did a bunch of really funny parody songs in the late 50s thru the 60s.
I didn't know that the KT did a cover of Lehrer's song.
Here is a great old video of a performance.

Oh, and Lehrer came at things from a definitely NE liberal perspective, with the whole hate the south, and poke fun at nuclear weapons view, for sure. Funny stuff, but leftist, for sure.
