You really should move this conversation to Your First World Problems.

You probably could more easily get your jollies complaining about the inclusion of some conversation (without pictures) in the 'Political Funny Pictures' thread

"Justice involved person" instead of "convicted felon".

People crying about their problems, sound like a bunch of snowflakes.

I didn't click. That IS a Babylon Bee article, right?

San Francisco has obviously solved all the more difficult problems in their city, so they are now interested in controlling language. Wouldn't want to be able to distinguish between felons, speeders, police and judges now, right?

Whiny people will whine!

Wow, whose Idea was that.

Must have been one of Trumps good people.

From design to manufacturing it would have been totally obvious to see. (in any of my shops anyway)

But at the same time, if it was an innocent design, then this shouldn't really be an issue. (made in Germany...just a coincidence, right)

Convicted felons can't vote, but there's nothing that says "justice involved persons" can't. Step right up to the ballot box folks.

Convicted felons can't vote, but there's nothing that says "justice involved persons" can't. Step right up to the ballot box folks.

Actually, persons convicted of a felony in Indiana can vote, once they are released from prison, even if they are still on probation or parole.

And, since I work for a state agency that is involved in criminal justice, am I a "justice involved person?" I feel very justice involved. It's, like, well, my day job.

I'm glad SF has all the serious problems solved so now they can go onto making themselves feel better about themselves by using the "right" words. I suspect the average substance abuser or incarcerated person cares not one whit how these people describe them.

Sadly, most of the people doing that won't understand the reference.
