When do they start referring to the victims as “enablers”?
“Dindu’er” then.
I suppose rapists will now be called “Spurned Lovers?” And murderers will be called “Euthanasia Engineers?”
America has become silly.
Since they aren’t putting them in jail anymore I don’t see how “individual who was incarcerated” works. How about “individual who should have been incarcerated but was not”?
Hahahaha. Why not just call them “rehabilitated”. Should do wonders for their self esteem.
...The terms are helpful for administrative and appellate purposes...
They are also helpful for people to know who is moving in next door.
Another “man caused disaster”.
“They are also helpful for people to know who is moving in next door.”
Indeed. “Person who spent time incarcerated” applies equally to someone who was ultimately acquitted on appeal and may be utterly innocent in fact, or “convicted pedophile”.
No way to tell which.
“ubstitute terminology such as ‘person who committed a crime’ and ‘individual who was incarcerated’ in speeches and other communications”
How ‘bout ‘incarcerated’ or ‘Citizen’? We have no need of anything further. Prison was for paying their debt (some, at the end of a rope). Citizens have Rights and Liberty; no caste system.
One is Free or one is behind bars, there is no gradation.
AND prisons will be known as ??????????? Some idiot in charge will come up with something equally as stupid as this...
Jailbirds Felonious punks? Honor students??
They demonize all the time honest citizens who want to practice Christianity or want to live by their moral values or want to own guns - but they are concerned about the feelings of violent criminals.
The thread itself illustrates the futility of expecting our reality to continue when Obama decrees that he's empowered to define what is "the right thing to do" on behalf of 320 million people.
He has neither the moral nor the legal power to do that.
and...
Nameless unaccountable bureaucrats have no authority to define the language on behalf of the same 320 million people.
Bottom line:
Obama and his Justice Department and his 90% redundant bureaucracy can just ESAD!
Just remember under this dysfunctional government, the "/sarc" note cannot be assumed as intended to be there.
The DOJ and Progressives are continuing to change the language. Pretty soon it will discriminatory and against the law to call them "felons" or "criminals".
How about murderer, rapist, thief, robber, etc.?
Probably not...remember how the military-speak was scrubbed of jihad, muslim, terrorist, radical islam, etc.....
The doj people are the real criminals.
'Entrepreneur' is good.
...No way to tell which....
Currently, criminal histories list convictions as well as arrests. The difference is that adjudications after arrests generally state that there was a conviction, dismissal, or charges dropped, or no charges, and on conviction, the sentence including incarceration.
