East Texas We Have A Problem...And It's Making Us Look Racist

[JoethePleb]

East Texas, we have a problem. Years after national headlines over James Byrd's dragging in Jasper, a series of unrelated high profile events have kept the region's reputation of racial intolerance alive and well.

John Craft, an assistant U.S. Attorney in the criminal justice division of the Eastern District of Texas, posted derogatory comments about Trayvon Martin and President Obama in a private facebook group. In reference to Stand Your Ground laws Craft wrote:

How are you fixed for Skittles and Arizona watermelon fruitcocktail (and maybe a bottle of Robitussin, too) in your neighborhood? I am fresh out of "purple drank." So, I may come by for a visit. In a rainstorm. In the middle of the night. In a hoodie. Don't get upset or anything if you see me looking in your window...kay?"

1. Dude needs to fired. If possible. I'm sure he'd sue, but I'm not buying the off the job excuse.

Those were studied sayings based a deep disrespect for equality under the law. Imagine the impact of his tainted thinking while working.

Disturbing to have this guy acting with the authority of the office of US Attorney General. They should find a way to transfer this fool where he won't be able to do more harm.

And I mean it when I say 'more.' No way he did not bring that attitude to bear on his work. Unless he wants to claim he's got a form of amnesia and doesn't know what he's doing half the time.

I hope a review will be done of all his cases.

2. He doesn't know what he's doing ALL of the time.

And apparently 7:30 PM is the middle of the night in his little world.

3. Did I mention he's a racist?

And should be immediately fired?

4. It's rather hard to miss, huh?
