The comments came under fire for what many say are racist implications, as well as the possible improper nature of the remarks. Craft has since said only that his rant was “not related to the US Attorney’s office,” and the US Attorney’s office also commented: “This office neither supports nor condones the views expressed on Facebook by Mr. Craft. He was not speaking on behalf of the US Attorney’s Office.”

Federal Prosecutor Allegedly Made Horrifying Facebook Comments Related To Trayvon Martin



A veteran U.S. prosecutor in Texas is under fire for allegedly implying on Facebook that Trayvon Martin looked like a criminal, the Houston Chronicle reports.
Assistant U.S. Attorney John Craft made the comments on his private Facebook page in response to a status update that supported "stand your ground" laws, according to the Chronicle. Such laws allow people to shoot intruders even if they have the opportunity to run away.

Here's what Craft wrote, according to the Chronicle:

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?

The night George Zimmerman shot him, 17-year-old Martin was walking in the rain and wearing a hoodie — a piece of clothing that's become a symbol for racial profiling. He was also carrying Skittles and an Arizona iced tea.

The Beaumont Enterprise reports that Craft had also posted a graphic that said "Obama: Why Stupid People Shouldn't Vote."
