WHERE THE THUGS AT?
WHERE THE THUGS AT?
"Where thugs at ?" Was formerly proclaimed by young, middle class, black boys enamored of gangs.
They liked the boasts and the flair of their rare gangster air, lacking knowledge with which to contrast or compare thugs' depraved criminality
In truth and in fact, thugs ain't got it like that! They'll shoot at each other; miss and kill an innocent brother! Yet, they won't stop a police threat or quash a usury debt against their own mother!
"Where the thugs at?"
Ferguson's first anniversary resulted in one casualty, as rivals shot randomly during a protest. The police lit up one as he tried to flee the vicinity, having fired on them initially!
Now that the armed white posse has come, carrying open assault rifles in the streets of Ferguson, we'll soon see who's really bad, and who's gonna cut & run!
