. . . these headlines say it all.
DOJ to nix ‘felon,’ ‘convict’ terms deemed stigmatizing
and
Cops cancel ‘insensitive’ Cinco de Mayo checkpoints
Geez. GMAFB.

Misunderstood individuals?
person who made a mistake?
person who broke the law?
The artist formerly known as incarcerated?
And again, the only ones left truly stigmatized are the victims of criminals.
Nice.
The next step is to declare “stigmatizing” as “discrimination”. The circle will be complete.
According to libtard moonbats, criminals are simply “Misunderstood Victims of Society” that are “lashing out from their oppression” and the liberal loons in Govenrment bureaucracy are the inmates that have taken over the asylum.
GOD Help America.
Since January the 1st is a holiday in many religions will the police cancel sobriety check point lest someone gets offended?
As a devout drunkard, I’d surely hope so! Using the same kind of logic portrayed, anyhow.
I’m gonna have to come up with some flags for the spontaneous demonstration, though. Oh, and the professional signs… Paging Mr Soros, Mr. G. Soros!
Any truth to the rumor that “prison” will henceforth be known as “Involuntary Camp for Adults?”
In State service. Provided it’s not federal time.
I hear tell nowadays the euphanism for arrested is detained. Sounds classier, “I was detained.”
The Left needs the voters. We all saw how that slimeball McAuliffe ordered restoration of voting rights to felons in VA. All the whining about how “they served their time and their debt to society has been paid” crap, so they should enjoy full citizenship, yada yada yada.
Okay Terry…how ’bout restoring their 2nd Amendment rights?
Yeah. Fat chance, you phony punk.
That was SUCH an obvious attempt on his part to add tons of dhimmirat votes it’s not even remotely funny.
Law-abbidance challeneed
Individual righteously indignant to the point of understandable misbehavior
Person failed by all of us as a society
Black lives matter activist
Underserved and overrepresented individuals from an undeservedly stigmatised community.
Restoring voting rights is something 18 other states already do. 2 states never bar those voting rights.

I see the voting rights thing as less an issue than idiotic euphemisms for jail time done by someone convicted of a crime. Putting a namby-pamby title on it to hide the truth is a bad idea.
Yeah, why not? After all, we wouldn’t want to offend anyone. YGTBSM applies here. Jeez, will the adults ever again be in charge?
Not if the voters have a say.
Face it. No matter who wins, we’re going to have a NY liberal in the White House next January.
They did this because a Mexican-American was offended? First off, which one is he?
Second, they barely celebrate Cinco De Mayo in Mexico. It’s the equivalent of their flag day. Dammit, why can’t SOMEONE grow a set and call these people on their bullshit?
It’s not even that big a deal, it’s really only celebrated in one small area. Everywhere else, it’s a marketing masterpiece by Jose Cuervo and Corona!

Think about it… would you declare a national holiday for beating up Frenchie on the battlefield? If that’s the case, everyday in Germany and Great Britain would be a national holiday!
The history is pretty simple. The Frog taxman came in to collect, the town said chinga tu madre, cabron! The town won, should’ve been a local day of pride. But there was money to be made selling cerveza y tequila, ala St.Patricks day with Guinness and Jameson’s. And now it’s wrong to put up a DUI checkpoint. It’s “racial”. I want to see the stats on who was arrested for DUI on Cinco de Mayo. I’d say 90% gringo. And college students.
Take a look @ the picture of the D O J Assistant Attorney General. SELF-EXPLANATORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh hell yes, use the CARD by ALL means!!!!!
I, for one, will continue to use the terms “felon” and “convict.” I will also make extensive use of their synonyms: douchebag, asshole, shitbag, cockfuck, dickhead, assdouche, slime, piece of shit, and upright animal.
As for the other thing, nobody says a thing when they set up DUI checkpoints on St Patrick’s day, so the race-baiting whiners can fuck off and die. Besides, what are they celebrating? Beating the French? Join the club! The fucking Algerians did that.
“As for the other thing, nobody says a thing when they set up DUI checkpoints on St Patrick’s day”
Good point.
not enough cops.
and with the amount of Mick cops, it’d be counter productive….
Probably because the Irish ARE NOT a bunch of thin-skinned snotnosed perpetually offended WUSSES that so many other groups are these days.
“Our words have power,” Mason wrote. “They shape and color our estimations and judgments. They can build up or tear down.”
Really???
Your words, Ms. Mason, are showing a lot of power playing intent. Since so many felons share your and Obama’s “heritage”, I see where this is coming from. This is just a case of trying to get the black criminal vote out for Democrats.
As for Cinco de Mayo, a drunk driver is a drunk driver and the people they may kill will have cared less what the occasion was. By the way, the VAST majority of Mexicans I have asked think one of two things about Cinco de Mayo. One, they have no idea at all what it really means or two, they think it is Mexico’s Independence Day. I would think as much school time as is invested in Latino cultural studies, they would highlight little tidbits like this. No pop quizzes these days I guess.
That’s Common Core for ya, Sparks. Not even the White-Guilt pet subjects of the Glorious Leader, et al, are taught effectively.
don’t give the SJW warriors ideas or they will have the kids learning more about Mexican history than the preciousl little the get any more on American history.
What the f*ck has happened to Oakland? It used to be a tough place. Next up will be making the local Hells Angels chapter have training wheels on their chopped hogs– with margarita sippee cups.
It just goes to show; let a bunch of San Francisco social media twits move in and there goes the neighborhood…
Couldn’t find 2015 figures but Oakland is still no joke.
Go out there some Saturday night, armed and alone.
Let us know how that works out.
I live there.
I have no idea what the point of you comment was supposed to be.
Generally even the very worst cities have good areas and bad areas. I can’t recall where to find it but there is a site that had cities broken down by nieghborhoods.
I remember looking at Atlanta. 10 blocks makes a huge difference.
Mine is “meh”. More dangerous than most. Less than some.
There has been shootings on my street. One in front of my building a few years ago. And gunshots within a few blocks occur a few times a month.
Most people do not seem to be able to shoot so there is far more shootings than there are people getting shot.
In the last 4 years 2 neighbors have been shot and one stabbed that I know of. None were killed.
To be honest two of them pretty much brought the violence on themselves. One was a dealer. Another was both a dealer and a pretty annoying little thief that stole from neighbors.
I am not saying they deserved to die. But they certainly set the conditions for getting themselves shot.

You don’t know me, Commissar.
And awaaay we go!!! Thinking you’re gonna slip in here late on a Thursday night and rev up your mouth, ain’t gonna happen. My alarm clock with a Shit Alert just woke me up.
Odd that you’re the ONLY persona who can’t figure out what SEA meant. Just do it and let us know the results.
Yeh, YOU the reprehensible asshole who wrote on this very blog, “Anyone who is afraid of Communism is foolish.” Knowing that between Korea, RVN, USSR, and China; over EIGHTY-SIX MILLION fathers, sons, brothers, sisters, daughters have been killed by the very Communists you say we are “foolish” to worry about. Tell that to neighbors you live near who lost friends and family members in RVN alone, you f____g asshole. As promised, I will continue to ride your ass and remind every swingin’ dick who reads this blog about the number of innocent folks world wide who have been killed by your friendly Communists. Small number to add tonight, but let’s move forward with FOUR more murdered in the name of Communism in the Bay of Pigs invasion. Yep, a small number of lives lost again to Communism, but how many children, relatives and loved ones suffered their loss to Communism? And you say “Don’t worry, be happy. Don’t be foolish and worry about the Commies.”
Be a good boy Larsie, do as SEA suggested. Just for shits and giggles, take along a gas mask made of very well used Depends.
All of us who honorably served our country and lost friends in any war/military action are “foolishly” missing our brothers.
Slip in here? I showed up when I did with no specific reason other than it is when I read the blog.
Communism again? What the fuck is wrong with you? I cannot imagine how much fear you must live under day to day if you still fear communists.
Damned Shit Alert on that clock again! Let me try to narrow the scope down to where you can hopefully (but doubtful) understand the gravity of your stupidity. One HELL OF A LOT of folks lost sons, fathers, a few daughters, brothers, a few sisters and even some grand fathers in a country called Viet Nam. Look it up in history books if you are already lost and confused. In that war alone, the United States lost 58,209 persons referenced above to…..of all things, COMMUNISTS. We’ll leave it at that war and those numbers so as to not over load your academic over worked brain. Now even today the Communist Worker’s Party is doing everything they can to make their mark on American life. See stories on their demonstrations in some larger cities during this political season. Here’s my suggestion to make it more understandable for you. Move your ass to Russia and live there for ten years or so. Then return and preach and praise the freedoms you “enjoyed” while relocated. Maybe you can get your Communist Party on the ballot for POTUS after you return and brag about how harmless and wonderful it is living under Communism. For what it’s worth, you calling T O W a dipshit is like Richard Simmons calling someone a fag…while bent over a chair begging someone to feed him a big juicy helping of Beanie Weenie casserole WITHOUT the Beanie. Calling a COMPETENT DECENT person a nasty name simply because they express an opinion popular with everyone on this site…shows a lot of class. Since the two capitalized adjectives have NOTHING to do with you, that gives me a pass to call you a lousy, worthless, cry baby, boring, uninformed, POS. Calling you stupid would be an insult to stupid people Lars. When you go to a mind reader, do you get half price? I’d like to do a better job of explaining this to you, but I’m out of crayons! Finally, with regard to your dipshit reference to T O W, I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and shit… Read more »
Oooooooooooh!!! Jarhead! I just had a cussgasm!
While I’m at it, communism is alive and well in Vietnam alone. As long as you keep your mouth shut about the VC government, you don’t end up at their re-education center. In North Korea, dissidents and their families disappear to one of those fabulous prisons put up by Fatty Kim da T’ird, places where they dig their own graves before execution. China, a country with a one-party government ruled by the Chinese Communist party, now uses involuntary psychiatric incarceration to control dissidents.
Nothing to fear, huh? Let me get you a shovel, poodle. You can dig that hole as deep as you like.
There ya go again Ex…you just can’t say anything without insulting Poodle Penis can you? Shame…you showed sooooo much hope.
Nothing to fear from Communists, eh?
Well, there used to be this fun little place called the Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR), and it was run by some pretty hard core Communists. Under the benevolent guidance of their enlightened progressive leaders, the population there lived in a virtual workers’ paradise, where everyone was the same, only the police and military had guns, and everyone’s needs were met by the government. It was heaven on earth.
In fact, it was such a fine place to live that they ended up having to build walls and “Todestreifen” (death strips) in an effort to keep their citizens from fleeing the paradise that they had created. Clearly, their citizenry just couldn’t grasp how good they really had it in the good old DDR.
So yeah, I can see why we would be foolish to fear a re-emergence of Communism and all of the goodness that it brings.
Fearing Communism is just so irritatingly irrational, isn’t it?
Probably the same point most everybody here has, Lars: that you’re an idiotic piece of shit with delusions of genius, nobody likes you, and nobody gives a rat’s fuzzy nutsack what you have to say about anything.
Then don’t engage with me, dipshit.
You’re engaged by many here, Taylor (AKA “Fulla”), because unsupported idiocy repeated often enough without opposition is often accepted by fools as fact (or “settled science”). Ergo, those who engage with you are providing a public service to the clueless. Too bad someone didn’t do that for you before you accepted your favorite forms of idiocy as Gospel.
Now, regarding Communism: anyone with half a mind is wise to be extremely concerned about that political philosophy. Because humans are selfish, “look out for number one” types, any real-world implementation of Communism outside a religious community requires a strong, authoritarian dictatorship to force compliance with its basic principle (“from each according to his ability, to each according to his need” – remember?). This fact, proven by history, has led to the most repressive and murderous regimes in human history.
Jarhead is in error above; the number he gives for persons murdered outside of war by Communist dictatorships is far too low. The number murdered for political reasons by the top four such Communist dictatorships in world history in terms of killing their own nationals (USSR, PRC, DPRK, DRVN) exceeds 140 million. That doesn’t include casualties of war; it’s only those murdered by the state for political reasons. And it’s a conservative estimate; the actual number murdered may well be substantially higher.

Anyone who does not fear the possibility of living under authoritarian rule, regardless of the political philosophy of the regime in question, is a damn fool. History shows us that Communist regimes invariably become (or are from day one) authoritarian dictatorships – of a particularly nasty form. Since you have no issue with the prospect of living under a Communist regime you thus must have no issue with living under an authoritarian dictatorship. Ergo, you must fall in the “damn fool” category.
We choose not to let your horseshit go unchecked. You’re the one who keeps coming back and showing your ass after promising repeatedly never to return (among other lies).
Andy yet, he keeps showing up to get attention, just like all the other attention whores. So-o-o-o-o predictable!
Way back when I worked for the Texas Prison system we had to call the little incarcerated snowflakes “offenders”. We’d get written up if we called them convicts or inmates.
And as far as Stinko De Mayo, the intended celebrants are welcome to go back to Mexico to celebrate…
And as an extra- Jimmy the Fake Pilot Walls is back as the mod for the Huey site.
More semantic obfuscation from the phreaking pheds.
Personal responsibility out the fucking window. Secretary Julián Castro (HUD) has already paved the way for convicts, felons, thugs, criminals, murderers, pedophiles et al for fair housing. Fuck it, might as well create the Department of Former Ghetto Penthouse Inhabitants and repeatedly apologize to them for incarcerating them. National Re-entry Week, what the fuck is wrong with people? Karol Mason needs her fucking head examined.
Speed traps on Veterans Day is offensive to me.
-facepalm-
Dear (certain parts of) society,
I am sick of you.
Hugs and kisses,
Roh-Dog
P.S. I just now became a Trump supporter. Totes your fault.
Yeah, God forbid we should do sobriety checkpoints on May 5. Better we should just spend our time directing traffic at the funerals of the innocent vics killed by drunk drivers. Hey Oakland, you deserve every bit of what you have, and what you have coming.
Seriously WTF is wrong here ?????
Is this stupid ever going to stop ????
Not until adults are again running the show or the dimwits currently in charge grow a set. I’m thinking option number two is unlikely to happen. The demodummies have to suck up to too many people. Yeah, it’s too much to hope that the laws are enforced. We wouldn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.
If you were tried in court and convicted of a felony, from that day forward, you are a convicted felon.
I say that as the stepfather of a convicted felon.
My son did his time, he did his probationary time, and he had a waiting period (based on his conviction) before he was allowed to vote or purchase a firearm. He was a happy man when he was allowed to vote again. He makes a good living as an IT technician. He’s still a convicted felon, and that will be a tag he wears for the rest of his life. The big difference is, he doesn’t use the “Felon” tag as an excuse. He gives his employer every detail and says that’s who I was, this is who I am now, you should hire me. I miss that boy.
SFC D….That took a lot of class and dignity to write that. Your stepson proves that a record does not end one’s world, and leave them only on a path to recidivism. Even better, it speaks well for a forgiving and loving stepfather. Not everyone can say they had such a good relationship with their father; and would love to have had the support such as yours.
