“justice-involved individuals”
The dumbing down and controlling of the language for special classes to pander to:
Its only May, but I think Ive found the euphemism of the year: 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 Obamas Gorgeous Goodbye.
Well, he wants to force employers not to ask about criminal history. I’m sure he’s OK with removing the “are you a felon” question on a form 4473 for a gun purchase, right?

Justice-involved individual….
Which also covers bailiffs, clerks, judges, prosecutors, defenders, witnesses, the suspected, the accused, the alleged victims, the convinced, *and* the acquitted.
Good job!

As a landlord, I always tell my prospective renters that the only kind of criminal problems I’m concerned with are ones that stop the renter from paying rent on time, or that make the place too messy to rent when they go to jail. Slumlord? No, more of a slumpeasant. If I had enough rental properties to be a slumlord, I’d be a lot happier.

I prefer the PC usage of “morality challenged”.
