    To be fair to people who are offended by this, the weight of the criminal seems entirely irrelevant so it’s pretty obvious that the intention was to rile people up.

      The weight of the criminal is as relevant as their height, if not more. It’s not as long-term stable as height, but it’s at least as important as an identifier. Even more so in countries where obesity isn’t that common.
