Unbelievable, let’s soften up the wording on criminals—- TGIF: An Appeal to Heaven “→ Justice-impacted individual: Illinois is on track to enact a bill that changes the word offender to justice-impacted individual. And it’s about time! The bill, HB 4409, passed both chambers and now it goes to Governor J.B. Pritzker to sign into law. Someone convicted of murder will soon be a “justice-impacted individual.” The sex offender registry will be the “sex justice-impacted individual registry,” which doesn’t quite have the same ring to it. There’s a consistent move to take tough things in society (homelessness, poverty, etc.) and add a lot of complexity to the description (unhoused individuals) in hopes that it maybe softens the blow of the reality (someone is living on the sidewalk). It’s also part of a desire to remove agency from individuals. Like, you can call a murderer a justice-impacted individual but. . . they still killed someone. They’re impacted by justice because they impaled a. . . okay, you get what I mean.”
So they changed it only in the context of people currently in the rehabilitation program instead of heading toward prison? Big deal lol.
False, as usual. Unless Illinois is diverting murderers into their rehab program instead of prison, of course.
The OP has a pretty severe distortion of the bill Illinois bill would relabel 'offender' to 'justice-impacted individual'
Lets not use that kind of accusatory language here, they are truth-impacted individuals. Perhaps we can send them to a diversion program to avoid serial offending.
Controlling the language is all part of the new order of governance. All part of the switheroo. What will they call “stick it up your ass!”?
