Daily Kos' Shaun King: Nobody ever called Jeffrey Dahmer a 'thug'

Is it unfair or biased in some way that some people have referred to Michael Brown as a “thug” and somebody like Jeffrey Dahmer was never referred to in the same way?

Fair point?

No, not really:

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

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

Because he's a mere sociopath. @ShaunKing: Jeffrey Dahmer, killed, raped & ate 17 men. NEVER was he called a thug http://t.co/3NvMAel9aU”

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