The word "prisoners" does not suggest innocence or guilt; it denotes imprisonment.

I'm getting a little tired of the Left doing this: (1) Person A says something; (2) Person B immediately seeks out the worst possible interpretation, over which to become hostile and indignant; (3) others dogpile on Person A for [s]dressing like that[/s] using the "wrong" word when in fact they did nothing wrong whatsoever.

Leave that anti-thinking nonsense to the teabaggers.
