Nobody is ONLY a crook. Nobody is suggesting these cats are worthless or have no salvageable wonderful potential qualities as human beings. Thugs are still whole human beings. But you loot Aunt Lilly, you're a thug. You burn down Grammy's handy neighborhood corner store, you're a thug. If your anger gives you a pass to destroy resources people depend on, and encourage the further militarization of cops in America, our anger gives us a pass to call you names. Especially accurate ones.
