Florida Prosecutor Suspended for Facebook Posts About Orlando Shooting
Lashed out at “miscreants and ghetto thugs.”

via Facebook
According to News 6 Orlando, an Orange County prosecutor has been suspended over incendiary Facebook comments he wrote in the wake of the massacre that left 49 people dead at the Pulse gay nightclub. “Downtown Orlando has no bottom,” Kenneth Lewis wrote just hours after news broke of the shooting. “It is void of a single redeeming quality. It is a melting pot of 3rd world miscreants and ghetto thugs. It is void of culture.” He followed that up several hours later with this comment: “All Orlando nightclubs should be permanently closed. With or without random gunmen they are zoos;; utter cesspools of debauchery [sic].” Lewis was demoted and came under fire in 2014 for a Facebook post in which he wrote “Happy Mother’s Day to all you crack hoes out there... It's never too late to tie your tubes, clean up your life.”
