Crime-ridden San Francisco has introduced new sanitized language for criminals, getting rid of words such as “offender” and “addict” while changing “convicted felon” to “justice-involved person.”
The Board of Supervisors adopted the changes last month even as the city reels from one of the highest crime rates in the country and staggering inequality exemplified by pervasive homelessness alongside Silicon Valley wealth.
The local officials say the new language will help change people’s views about those who commit crimes.

1984 was NOT a guide book.
Ah , A JIP
We can start calling murder a ‘courtroom involved’ act.
Apparently there are no “offenses”.
Frisco just gets worse by the day.
The Democratic Crime Syndicate is trying to protect their minions.
Double-plus ungood.
San La Caca
It is surprising that “democrat” or some such was not chosen.
A rose by any other name . . .
Leftists love euphemisms. When you can’t change the facts, change the names: prochoice, fetus, youths, hate speech, racism, homophobic, homeless, xenophobic, etc. ad infinitum.
“The newspaper noted an individual whose car has been broken into could well be known to police as “a person who has come in contact with a returning resident who was involved with the justice system and who is currently under supervision with a history of substance use.””
Pure insanity.
Criminals are just victims of the rule of law. Bring it all down, man!
So, once again, some over-credentialed idiots show us just how much they believe in the MAGICAL power of their own “words”.
IMHO, people who deny science and who reject common sense should never be called “progressives”.
“Wizard wannabes” perhaps, but NOT “progressives”...
San Freakcisco at work, as usual. Protecting the criminal at the expense of the law-abiding taxpayer.
Yet more LIB lunatic idiocy. You would think the LIBs would get tired of being lunatics. But... Nooooooo.
I don’t want to change my views about those who commit crimes.
“The local officials say the new language will help change people’s views about those who commit crimes.”
Another case of using a title to change our thoughts so the action no longer sounds like what it really is.
Let’s start calling the assassinations of politicians as ‘community improvement actions’.
