The Philadelphia Daily News has apparently taken to overusing the word "thug," Philadelphia Will Do says. It may make sense, in these 400-murders-a-year times, but the Daily News will never catch the New York Post, which never refers to criminals as anything other than "thugs," "vermin," or "animals." Unless, of course, they're talking about the Mafia, in which case they're "dapper gentlemen" and "victims of overzealous prosecution."
