SANFORD - The parents of George Zimmerman have sued comedienne Roseanne Barr, saying they fled their Lake Mary home in the middle of the night and have been unable to return because she posted their address on Twitter two years ago.

Robert Zimmerman Sr. and Gladys Zimmerman filed suit Monday in state circuit courtm accusing Barr of trying to incite "a lynch mob to descend" and carry out "vigilante justice."

According to the suit, Barr published their address on Twitter March 29, 2012, a month after their son, George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager in Sanford but before he was arrested.

“It’s not like Barr did anything of any real consequence by posting an address that literally anyone with an internet connection could find if they wanted to.”

The availability of the address is not the central issue in the complaint. What is the central complaint is how Roseanne Barr allegedley incited a threat to kill or otherwise cause violent harm to the plaintiffs and/or their properties by defamation of their characters and the character of their son. The complaint alleges she is liable for damages resulting from her role in inciting the threat of such violence, regardless of how the address was obtained.

A major celebrity with an extremely bad attitude and left-wingitis posted the Zimmermans’ parent’s address on her twitter feed to thousands of followers. It caused the Zimmermans to move. I hope the parents have a great ambulance chaser and Rosanne pees in fear.

If someone breaks your nose, slams your head on the concrete, is on top of you, and within reach of your legally carried firearm, I don't think they should be characterized as unarmed. But how unusual it is to see the media call a black teenager black.

She was on 60 Minutes awhile back giving an interview from her pineapple ranch in Hawaii.

That's a pretty weak argument. It's the same as saying that literally to put a gun in the hand of an enraged a-hole is no different than the local outfitter selling the same gun at his store.

Who the H ever heard of "Zabasearch" anyway.

I’ll bet you can’t find Roseanne Barr’s address anywhere on the Web

I love a challenge!

I can't post it on FR but I can say that the property is in the name of the "FMHT Revocable Trust".

I’d really like to see them win against this unfunny...woman, but I don’t think they’ll get very far with the case. Addresses are usually considered to be public info. And you have to prove some kind of malice, which is harder than a lot of people thing.

How would the punishment of Zimmerman's parents be "justice" of any kind in anyone's eyes?

The only justice in any of this is that perhaps his liberal Democrat parents are having their eyes opened.

the property is in the name of the "FMHT Revocable Trust".

But not directly under her name thus giving her a degree of privacy and deniability.
