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.

The left destroys cities while the right wishes for the same city of millions to just die off...


I guess humanity needs to learn how to survive without being governed by either.

The real criminals who are doing the most damage to the inhabitants and the city itself are the officials running it.

Maybe... you never know with politicians, they’ve always been more in the criminal side that not...

So how do the people who live there do better for themselves besides just electing a different side of the forever flipping coin...

I guess they will start renaming the used heroin needles found everywhere as "repurposed pharmaceutical gear of persons with a history of substance use".
