Former Marine Says He’s Only a Thug When Fighting For Black People

After a series of police officers in Baltimore were charged with being responsible for the death of black resident Freddie Gray, one protestor who worked as a former Marine stated that he wanted to keep fighting for his country.

However, his idea of fighting for it is different from what many might expect. Rather, he said that he wanted to be more of a competitor who wanted to save his community.

The former Marine felt that he was willing to give his life to protect the country and that he is unhappy over what is happening with it. He feels that the country is at risk of serious harm because people refuse to be together.

The marine especially says that he wants to protect his community. However, it has become very difficult to manage his work in recent time because he feels that people refer to him as a thug.

However, he is willing to keep on fighting for justice within his own country and that he wants people who harm others to be brought to justice.

He wants the public to see that those who want justice as not thugs but rather people who just want to have better lives.
