My fear is that is will embolden a few to do this every time they think something unjust has happened. It's not a good path to be on. This is not an American behavior! That's 3rd world We are a better country then this.
That guy needs to move that business the hell out of Fergistan to a more civilized area.
(mod hat off)
Would you all please stop referring to the rioters and looters in Ferguson and elsewhere as "animals"?
Animals are honorable and good companions, and I'd be happy to have them around.
I'm not one for snakes, arachnids, or insects, but I'd sooner have even them around than the rectal orifices causing all this mayhem.
That is all.
Happy Thanksgiving, and as always,
Blessings,
Bill
It was the best reference I could come up with at the time and avoid the ban hammer.
I will find another way to describe my disdain for them and their actions.
Nah...How 'bout Manimals?
How about ALIENS (as in Monsters from another Galaxy)
No, that's a defined term, this has to be something new, that way it doesn't offend an existing group
Nah...
I don't recall seeing any footage of this guy doing any looting.
Unwashed Savages maybe?It was the best reference I could come up with at the time and avoid the ban hammer.

If we go this way, Entitlistas would fit better, and they could feel better about themselves as its a fancy name for lazy F***!OK, how about "Entitleists"

Fair enough. I understand losing words to frustration; Hell, the word, "Chimichanga" for a deep-fried burrito supposedly came from a grandmother in a kitchen dropping a burrito in the fryer and correcting herself mid-word due to her grandchildren being in the room! After I posted that, though, someone PMd me to the effect that some on here use words like thug or pimp or animal only because the rioters we see don't look just like them... in other words, they're using it as a term of prejudice. I really hope that's not the case here, for anyone (not speaking to you directly, CM, but to all.)
Personally, I prefer terms like criminal, miscreant, vandal, delinquent, perhaps even hooligan... you get the idea...until they threaten a life.
At that point, the only appropriate term to reference them would be "target".
YMMV. You don't have to use these terms... as I said, they're just my preference.
Blessings,
Bill
