This wasn't about dictionary definitions. It was about usage and you know it.

For a change, you're wrong and not surprisingly are frantically avoiding the point. Do you think "gun" and "criminal" are the same? By your argument, and your incredibly intellectual side-by-side dictionary comparison (snick) they are.

What a dickhole you are.

Can't worm your way out of it, though we all know you'll scream bloody murder and start hurling insults per your worn out MO.

Your ignorant and simplistic argument has put you in prime position to hold your fetid breath until your spotty, corpulent jowls turn blue.

Meltdown.

Hijack.

Repeat.

So, why doesn't Webster classify "thug" and "criminal" as synonyms?

You need to get out more, IBGrubergruber, and speak with people. Obviously, you'd rather wave your dictionary around than learn to communicate with people in meaningful conversation.

Unless, of course, it includes insulting them.
Bullshit.

But if you have the picture, you presumably saw, post it.

One picture showed a biker with an AR-15 over his shoulder standing next to a cop. Originally Posted by tucson

Nope. You hastily played your tedious yet predictable dictionary waving game... like the bible thumper you are!

If your hysterically furious backpedaling wasn't so comical, it would be the signal of deep seeded personality issues. In this case, I'm delighted to let you wail on like a banshee!

The fact remains, you stepped in a pile of shit of your own making. Again!

You can't escape what you posted and have stubbornly argued for, Corpy! Again, you've proven that you just like smearing your own feces and squeal like a pig when you get called on it.

BTW, Thesaurus WAS cited, you Mussulman-luvin, Hitler worshipping, lying, hypocritical, racist, cum-gobbling golem fucktard, HDDB, DEM, and your lying ass needs glasses if you can't read who it was that cited Thesaurus.

The point seems to be that in the more comprehensive listing of the Thesaurus it does not provide that a "Black person" or "African-American" is a synonym for "thug" .. and neither does Websters.... since you brought that up as a source.

Here are the online synonyms for "thug" in Websters:

"Related to THUG

Synonyms bully, gangbanger, gangsta, gangster, goon, gorilla, hood, hooligan, mobster, mug, plug-ugly, punk, roughneck, rowdy, ruffian, hoodlum, tough, toughie (also toughy), yob [British], yobbo [British]

Related Words cutthroat, scoundrel, villain; assassin, bandit, bravo, brigand, criminal, crook, desperado, felon, gunman, highwayman, lawbreaker, mafioso, malefactor, offender, outlaw, perp, perpetrator, pirate; pickpocket, racketeer, robber, swindler, thief, vandal; juvenile delinquent, tearaway [British]

More importantly, it would seem somewhat foolish to expect "criminal" to be a synonym when the Webster definition of "thug" is "a violent criminal" ... now wouldn't it? But it IS LISTED.

But why expect someone who can't read maps to be able to read a dictionary?

AS I stated before if this were a group of black men like the Crips and Bloods- the media will have labeled them as "thugs" or "savages", but I guess if you are white and kill 9 people in a public area in broad daylight with with innocent patrons- and there were plenty of children around- you some how get a pass from the media.
