Elderly Couple In Fear Over Spike Lee Tweet
TSG ^ | MARCH 27, 2012 | smoking gun

Posted on 03/27/2012 7:13:41 PM PDT by HonkyTonkMan

MARCH 27--With Twitter and Facebook continuing to explode with posts purporting to contain the address of George Zimmerman, property records and interviews reveal that the home is actually the longtime residence of a married Florida couple, both in their 70s, who have no connection to the man who killed Trayvon Martin and are now living in fear due to erroneous reports about their connection to the shooter.

The mass dissemination of the address on Edgewater Circle in Sanford--the Florida city where Martin was shot to death last month--took flight last Friday when director Spike Lee retweeted a tweet containing Zimmerman’s purported address to his 240,000 followers.

I guess as long as they’re “crackas” it’s all good.

An act of terrorism if ever there was one. And yet, Spike chooses to live on the Vineyaaahd, amongst the lily-whites that he so despises. Criminal and a hypocrite.

Inciting violence.

Where is Holder? Where is the FBI?

Mr and Mrs Zimmerman need protection from the pants on the ground goons of the Black Panthers.

Seems like a nice time for a counter-coup.

And of course Spike tweeted that he had made a mistake...

No?

Shocking.

I’d hope that the couples neighbors would help keep an eye out for them, but this is not the America I grew up in, neighbors rarely do that anymore, unless you’re further out from town.

Pryaers for their safety.

I have to wonder if Spike Lee has made himself civilly liable for any harm that comes to the couple.

Mmmm-mmmm-mmm! Sue the pants off that legend in his own mind. Shut his mouth good.

Clear malicious intent (even if it was directed at someone else). Reckless disregard of the truth. They certainly aren't public figures.

Over in the criminal code, isn't it obstruction of judicial administration? New Black Pamfers would fall under that, too. That's what lynching is all about.

The guy should dust off and clean his M1 Garand, and load up a couple of bandoleers of 30-06 in en-block clips.

*Get off my lawn.

Spike Lee’s got really, really deep pockets.

I hope they sue.

Gotta be a million law firms which would take that case for a percentage of the lawsuit.

Normally I don’t advocate that sort of thing but in this case I’m 100% behind it.

That’s a nine-figure lawsuit, minimum.
