San Francisco board rebrands 'convicted felon' as 'justice-involved person!'

San Francisco board rebrands 'convicted felon' as 'justice-involved person,' and sanitizes other crime lingo!

I've really heard it all now! So I guess that lawyers are also 'justice-involved persons!' It's too much! What a sad JOKE this board is! What do they hope to achieve with this? Oh well, at least they're taking care of the serious stuff like changing language instead of the not so serious stuff such as addressing the FILTH (literal human FECES) on the streets! Why do they care so much about what a piece of human waste rapist is referred to as?

Will that mean that when you fill out the ATF form to buy a firearm and they ask if you are a convicted felon you can now say 'no'

 

I guess so!

 

After a while a Justice Involved Person (JIP) will simply mean "criminal."
So then the language/social engineers will come up with a new term.
Best to simply not call them by ANY identifier - after all, any identifier
is prejudicial. We can erase the whole concept of felon from our ever
mutating, politicized language.

 

Pretty soon we're going to need decoders to understand what people are saying. This is so depressing.

 

Oh you mean the dictionary we use to decode words now?

 

Stop talking bad about Trump cabinet and staff.

 

Idiocy

 

Idiocracy.

 

The dictionary we use to decode words now says that the word "felon" means a person who commits a felony which the dictionary says means a crime typically involving violence, lawlessness, criminality. Do you virtue signaling lefties have your own dictionary that describes a person who commits a felony as a "justice involved person"?

 

Do you require the dictionary in order to get the definition of words that you hear on a day to day basis?
I'm pretty sure that @Pipette8 was talking about a future where this may be necessary. So stop trying to be a smartass. Do you think that you're actually Bart Simpson?

 

What crime lingo have they sanitised?

 

Great movie! Although maybe the reality in some US cities!

 

I've noticed a pattern.
Look at what they did to rape. All sorts of borderline situations are rape now.

Julian Assange, for example, with the most extreme situation of this being in Sweden.
(He took off his condom without telling her, and on another occasion had sex with her even though she wasn't really feeling up to it, though they had just had sex earlier that day)

And consequently they don't see rape as that serious. Probably because they've lumped it all in the same boat together.

A man who had sex with his wife without specifically asking and getting her verbal consent has committed rape, she didn't even have to say "No". Like a woman being brutally assaulted in a dark alley by a stranger.

Same thing with felonies.
They're busy making all sorts of things felonies that didn't even used to be crimes before.
Well, surprise surprise, hardly surprising they don't see the idea of a "felony" as being all that extremely wrong.

 

Same with racist and nazi. Used to mean lynching and genocide, now the same folks are defined by jokes and microaggressions. White people used to actually be scared of being called a racist. Now that everyone and everything is racist, we have nothing to call those few that would still lynch or gas minorities.

 

I think the addition of more minor offenses to the concepts of "felony" and "rape" has, to a substantial degree, trivialized to them to some extent.

Or maybe those of the Progressive bent never really saw them as so extremely serious anyway, and so that's why they feel so comfortable adding more minor offenses to those categories.

I think this is something going on in the Progressive world that most Conservatives living outside it are completely oblivious to.

 

The left, doing what they do best, if you cant change reality, just change definitions! Exactly as they did with gender.

 

Very true!

 

When reality offends you, change the definitions, and pretend like you changed reality.

 

Most of them haven't encountered justice, just jail.

 

Yes but notice that the idocy comes from the educated not the uneducated as the movie portrays.

 

The idiots responsible for this language change - are they really all that educated?

 

Well, there is a more nuanced definition for "felon". It's very simple really, and recognized by the law.

We have a convicted felon, who cannot vote or own firearms, and then we have an unconvicted felon, a felon who escaped formal legal sanction, like John Brennan or Bill Clinton and a long list of others never punished for their felonious activity.

 

Well they probably have masters and phds

Education doesn't make you right or even smart,
I think there is a lot of BS in higher education these days.

 

How did Bill Clinton escape legal sanction?
