According to Team Obama, criminals should now be declared “justice-involved individuals.”
The neo-Orwellianism comes to us from the bizarre flurry of last-minute diktats, regulations and bone-chilling threats collectively known to fanboys as Obama’s Gorgeous Goodbye.
In another of those smiley-faced, but deeply sinister, “Dear Colleague” letters sent to universities and college this week, Obama’s Education Secretary John King discouraged colleges from asking applicants whether they were convicted criminals.
An accompanying pamphlet was called “Beyond the Box: Increasing Access to Higher Education for Justice-Involved Individuals.”
So rapists, burglars, armed robbers and drug dealers aren’t criminals anymore. These folks are simply “involved” with “justice,” according to Obama.
When you think about it, Jack the Ripper was merely a “cutlery-involved individual” while Jeffrey Dahmer was simply a “unconventional dietary-options-involved individual.”
Colleges generally ask whether applicants have criminal records, and for excellent reason. Parents probably don’t want their eager young freshperson daughter Molly living across the hall from a rapist — I mean, sexual-justice-involved individual.
King notes that when you ask college applicants about whether they brutalized, mugged or otherwise committed outrages against their fellow human beings, the ugly specter of “disparate impact” arises. The black crime rate is higher than the white crime rate, so the “Are you a criminal?” question is bound to do injury to blacks, or so goes the reasoning.
Obama is fighting the war for criminals to get closer to you on several fronts. Last month, through the Department of Housing and Urban Development, he went after landlords, threatening them with penalties if they barred criminals from living in their buildings.
In November, Obama unilaterally ordered federal agencies to strike the box asking applicants whether they had committed crimes and referred to criminals as “folks.”

I consider Odumbo “presidentially” challenged.

Title: That is because he does not think HE is a criminal.
But he does think males are females.
For some reason Democrats court the Willie Horton effect.
It’s about as self-destructive as a person can get.

Hussein’s definition of “criminal” = Anyone who hurts the feelings of a Mooslim, or anyone who doesn’t grant queers top priority!

Fed prison system rules, do not engage, be non confrontational. This leads to officer and staff assaults, serious assaults. Social justice making blacks not responsible for thier actions
As another FReeper pointed out, he has “weaponized” them...
TOO LONG
I have been stories like this all week on FR I have been warning to reply to but was ‘office bound’ as I usually am when reading. So I couldn’t log on to add my 2cents. But I would really like to add something I think a lot of people overlook on these things.
Many people are very naive and many also are in very bad financial situations. Throw into the mix a justice system that is mostly concerned with a number of convictions, justice be darned, and the outcome is a great deal of ‘plea bargains’ which should have just been thrown out. Scare tactics to single parents and bread winners of the families, and most people would agree to any ‘crime’ plea to stay out of jail. Never knowing how those things will haunt them the rest of their lives. Then they have a mark on their lives and record that defines them in the same category as those ‘monsters’ that come to mind when we hear the word ‘criminal’. When in fact, something like self-defense, would have been the accurate term. It could happen to anyone.
The worst part of it is that like the banking crisis (in which loans made under pressure from the federal government to lend money to unqualified minorities were worthless) the same government punishes those it pushed into the business to start (remember banks were then fined for taking advantage of those same minorities?). If landlords and employers don’t protect their other tenants and employees from these superpredators, they will be (successfully) sued by the survivors of their violence...
Schools will find it harder to get liability insurance if they don’t screen out dangerous felons and drug dealers. Volunteers who work K-12 schools must pass criminal background checks. College level students should have to do the same thing.
The first 3 words of this thread title are 100% accurate; “Obama doesn’t think,”!!!
Please note, I am NOT defending OB, Lord no, he needs to be in prison for life.
But my point is do believe the ‘justice system’ isn’t concerned with justice. And also that everyone with a record is not ‘equal’ in terms of their ‘crimes’ or background. There should be some kind of ‘review’ to get back ALL of your rights after a time period like maybe a couple decades or so. That is all.
Thanks for allowing and reading my 2cents.
