@ShaunKing well technically thugs don't eat people. "monster" would make more sense

@ShaunKing Dahmer wasn't a thug, he was a psychopath.

@ShaunKing I respectfully disagree with the implication. Ppl do not associate word with serial killers. Ppluse it to refer to street crime

@ShaunKing He was more of a Monster than a thug

@ShaunKing there are worst things to be called than a thug, FYI. Rapist, murderer, and cannibal would be among those.

@ShaunKing there's a difference between a serial killer and a thug though, no serial killers were called thugs.

@ShaunKing @imkiras What are you getting at? Thugs don't eat people… Creepy ass serial killers do.

@ShaunKing Dahmer was one of the world's worst psychopaths, not a thug you moron, Thug doesn't in the slightest bit describe what Dahmer was

@ShaunKing I mean a murderous psychopath is a pretty horrendous ID. He was and always be known as a serial killer.
