That the basis for this violence was being attributed to a mental disorder than a chosen way to live your life. When someone chooses violence as their way of living their life, that’s a thug.

Thug
Earlier I saw a picture taken at a 1950s debutante in Harlem and the words “not thug” drifted through my brain.
The problem with thugs isn’t in their stars, their circumstances, but in themselves. And that’s true no matter what they look like.
I encourage all of you to scroll back to the beginning of the thread and read the definition of “thug” posted in plain English by the OP, the definition that this thread is predicated on. If you have an issue with that simple and easy-to-understand definition, take it up with the OP.
Uh, no, because breaking a car window to save a dog is not criminal.
All rioters who engage in violent behavior are thugs, per the OP.
Odd line in the sand.
Do you think so? I don’t.
Yes, I do. Thuggery is like porn, hard to define but I know it when I see it.
I agree, hence the disagreement about what is thuggery and what is not. It seems to me that in this thread, white criminals from rural areas are automatically classified as something other than thugs, but that’s too easy. Baby killer Derick Madden grew up within a culture that influenced him, just like every other murderous criminal we read about.
Playing the racist card? How weak.
Madden had psych issues and drank on his meds. He had some sort of brain injury. He was psycho, not a thug.
There is a randomness to thuggery. Usually a profit element. And a wantoness. Cruelty.
Madden did what he did because he loved, not because he hated.

What culture is that?
Nahhhhhh…it’s all good. 
Wrong again, some states even cops are not allowed to break the window.
“Only eight states — California, Colorado, Indiana, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Florida, Ohio and Tennessee — have “Good Samaritan” laws that allow any person to break a car window to save a pet. Alabama and Arizona have bills pending.May 12, 2017”
I urge you to do the same. Thuggery is a culture of violence, not violence that is anomalous with a person’s normal behavior.
What a garbage society…
Damn. That’s ■■■■■■■ appalling. I read about it earlier today on my lunch break.
Put that piece of ■■■■ up against a wall and coat it with his brain matter is the way I feel about him.

From the garbage government elected by the garbage society.
