Having solved all other problems (pause for laughter), San Francisco officials are setting their sights on not offending convicted felons with their efforts to replace current terms:
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 goal is to change people's views about those who commit crimes. https://t.co/1H30oimlXY

#SanFrancisco has moved to scrub clean terminology related to #Crime.
Words like “offender” would be removed, while a “convicted felon” would henceforth be known as a “justice-involved person” or “formerly incarcerated person” or a “returning resident.” https://t.co/QtlV6ks1Bu

That’s so “progressive” that we can’t believe Portland’s local government didn’t think of it first:
San Francisco rebrands "convicted felons" as "justice-involved persons" and "juvenile delinquent" as "young person with justice system involvement."
Note: there is no evidence that this "person-first language" improves outcomes. https://t.co/mKGJNDU5aN

San Francisco wants to employ new politically correct language to describe convicted rapists, murderers and other violent felons as “justice involved persons.”

And yet they DID make that up.
#SanFrancisco #Liberals are under the impression that changing the name of the crime, will make it seem less grave.

Yes, let's just ignore:
• brutal tax rates
• median rent of $3,720/mo
• human feces on the street
• free syringes to shoot heroin
• homelessnessBecause, clearly San Francisco's most pressing issue is not hurting the feelings of convicted violent criminals. https://t.co/Ptl5Pn9E8h
