We’re not even halfway through January and we already have a strong candidate for the politically correct euphemism of the year. Via Twitchy:
Earlier this week, a New Jersey man shot and killed an armed intruder in his home.
Sorry, did we say “armed intruder”? Thanks to NBC New York, we now know that “unwanted house visitor” is the correct term:
Police say a New Jersey man fought off an unwanted house visitor by using the suspect’s own gun, ultimately killing him https://t.co/1WHJSynccb

Well, the PC crowd has already established that illegal aliens should be called undocumented immigrants. Calling a home invasion an unwanted house visit seems like a logical next step for them. Here are some other PC euphemisms for crimes that they may want to consider:
Murder: involuntary end-of-life services
Carjacking: impromptu ride sharing with extreme prejudice
Mugging: unauthorized wealth redistribution
Rape: unrequested sperm donation
Kidnapping: involuntary relocation
Counterfeiting: freelance fractional-reserve banking
