Before the world changed with the onset of COVID-19, San Francisco was dealing with real problems, like throwing widely used terms “down the memory hole.” This was done, and continues today, in order to create and control a new alternate reality that desperately tries to conceal the failings of progressive political policies.
“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.”—George Orwell, “1984”
San Francisco took a very important step toward this new progressive “criminal justice” in late 2019. No, we didn’t stop crime. No, we didn’t stop all the open drug trading and use. No, we didn’t stop people from urinating and defecating in the streets. And the streets aren’t any cleaner or safer. What was accomplished, you may ask? The Board of Supervisors adopted new rules for referring to people in the criminal justice system.
Now there are no more convicted felons. Instead we have “Justice Involved Persons.” I will use the abbreviation JIPs for brevity. Addicts are a thing of the past; I think you are referring to “a person with a history of substance abuse.” And a released offender or parolee? You mean a “returning resident.”
