“As a felon,...”

How do you know that this probationer (not parolee) is a felon? Do you know the difference between probation and parole?

(sigh)

He got probation either AFTER he had served some portion of a jail (or prison) sentence, or as a deferred sentence. People with misdemeanors are typically assessed a fine or light community service - NOT probation or jail. Those convicted of a felony crime are typically assessed either jail or probation, based upon a variety of conditions, including how much the judge's hemorrhoids are bugging him/her on any given day!

Since YOU are the one trying to obfuscate the issue by introducing parole vs. probation, perhaps YOU should define the difference.
