Then explain explicitly. What is a "thug"? Who can qualify for that noun, and who can't?

There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".

given that users posting history its obvious what he was trying to do by using that word. the word itself is fine, but like i said, given Medz's posting history its understandable that some people don't want to give him the benefit of the doubt here. that's all...

"thug" has been used only to describe black males in media for about a decade, and never white males

And how was it used before that decade, and who started using it in this racist way later? Why let them get away with it?

This topic could have been so interesting, but instead it devolved into some boring conversation about the definition of thug and who should be called thug. CE is so disappointing sometimes.

not trying to defend the guy, but it did look like that he pointed the gun upwards at the last second and fired (also showcased by repositioning the stock under his arm and showing the extreme recoil), like a warning shot (which is also stupid and dangerous) rather than shooting at a fleeing kids back. i get the feeling that he was not purposely trying to kill the kid, but scare him or atleast he had a change of heart at the last second.


who fires a warning shot while someone is running away lmao

Also, I think its pretty evident that the kid was scared given he was, you know, running for his life.

He had to fire a warning shot to scare all the other black kids hiding around the corner because his wife was scared..

...Or he's a racist idiot who shouldn't own a gun and needs to spend some time behind bars. Nothing about that video should make you want to give him any benefit of the doubt. "well, he kind of angled it up.."...who gives a fuck? that is still something he should not be doing with a gun.

I remember CE's usual suspects defending this when the news broke.

Someone even pulled up the map and made this whole argument as to why this poor kid was supposedly lying.

Someone was insisting that the kid should have remembered the route even though the map showed the route was confusing as hell and long.

The grounds to which people will go to make black people the bad guys amaze and sadden me.

and im not saying hes innocent. he IS probably a racist asshole who did something real stupid with a firearm and he should be punished accordingly, but that angle of the gun accounts for a LOT in an attempted murder case.

Anytime, bro.

he's not a criminal though


Well, the OP stated that he was arrested and charged. If convicted (which he should be), he will be a criminal. It still stands that the shooter is most likely a violent person, which fits the foremost qualifier for the textbook definition of thug. Racist thug (I.E racist violent person) should be appropriate for this scenario.

you're ignoring the racial connotation of how thug is used to describe black men who break the law

Denotation is more important. Ignoring connotations is how you keep them from taking over.

People could easily start saying gay to mean happy again. If it gradually builds momentum, it can return to the way it was. Same with thug or anything else that people say have changed.

the media is one thing...the user who first used the word ITT has a history of being a "subtle racist" as his gimmick and has used that word in the past to start arguments like this. My guess is he doesn't really care about this and came in just to use that word in a topic he knew it would be volatile in. if that wasn't his intent its his own fault for having a history of doing that.

I saw a black person standing at my door and i screamed at him and i asked him what he was doing there. He tells me that he is going to school and at that poit he approaches the door, forward momentum, comes forward, opens the screen door and puts his hand on the door handle again as though he's coming into my house"

What are people's thoughts on this part? On a dry day if all I needed was information I wouldn't feel the need to open the screen door. There's obvious racism afoot but those do sound like awkward movements. Her screaming sounds justified but not the guy shooting.

well when she starts her statement with "I SAW A BLACK PERSON", instantly screams at them before they even do anything and uses that as a reason she was on edge, I'm not expecting much from her. Im also not giving her the benefit of the doubt.

be that as it may, the Husband lost that potential defense ("my wife made it seem like he was a threat!") the moment he shot at someone running away, aka, someone who is no longer a direct threat to the lives of either one of them. He isn't a responsible gun owner and probably an ignorant racist himself.

Safe to say the husband was in the wrong. But maybe the wife was not being as shitty as I had thought. Half min vid the kid steps closer probably to open the door and shortly stepped back and left it ajar because she screamed. Dunno can't really see it well. For a screen door it's a legitimate reason to be on edge.
