Florida Prosecutor Kenneth Lewis Sorry for 'Crack Hoes' Facebook Post

[joeybee12]

A Florida prosecutor apologized Thursday for social media posts that included him referring to drug addicts as "crack hoes" and suggesting that Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor's appointment was due to affirmative action.

Kenneth Lewis, an assistant state attorney for Orange and Osceola County, acknowledged writing a Facebook post on May 11 that said: "Happy Mother's Day to all the crack hoes out there. It' never too late to turn it around, tie your tubes, clean up your life and make difference to someone out there that deserves a better mother."

Lewis said that he "used a poor choice of words" and apologized to anyone who took offense to his Facebook comments earlier this month.

Lewis said he thought that his posts from May 11 and May 6 were only to his friends network on the social website, and not visible to the general public. He said he doesn't believe his comments affect his ability to be an impartial prosecutor.

What a POS

[brucefan]

1. I'm Sorry

I got caught

[arcane1]

2. "It was only intended for my friends, thus it isn't offensive"

3. How do they not see this coming?

* You wouldn't put it on Facebook if you didn't expect it to be read by the public.

* You know you're not anonymous

* Even if you're an asshole, you know statements like that are terribly insulting (poor choice of words, my ass)


Conclusion: The insult-followed-by-not-real-apology must have been the plan from the beginning.

4. What a jackass

5. "He said he doesn't believe his comments affect his ability to be an impartial prosecutor"

Now why would anyone think you were biased, Kenneth

6. I don't give ONE fuck if he is sorry, what I DO care about is him becoming unemployed.

ASAP.
