“Elderly couple abandons their home after address is posted on Twitter as that of George Zimmerman” read the headline of an article yesterday in the Orlando Sentinel. Spike Lee’s twitter account went into Radio Silence yesterday morning after it was revealed he mistakenly tweeted to over 247,000 twitter followers the address of an elderly Florida couple instead of George Zimmerman’s address, the man who shot Trayvon Martin. Mr. Lee’s tweet resulted in hate mail, strangers dropping by, and other disturbances that panicked the couple who then fled from their home for fear of their lives. It remains to be seen if Spike Lee will contact the couple to assist them financially with the costs associated with their having to abandon their home or at minimum publicly apologize to them for his putting their lives in danger.
The Hollywood Reporter was reporting last night that the “Elderly Couple at Address Spike Lee Tweeted Are Living in Fear” as some of Lee’s twitter followers tweeted, “Let’s turn up the heat on his bitch ass!!!” and “Get this mutha f#####!!” as the followers retweeted the elderly couple’s address after being misled by Spike Lee.
As some criticized George Zimmerman for going into hiding, Spike Lee apparently took a similar cowardly route. “A call placed to Lee's office in New York was answered by a man who said the film director was unavailable for comment.” Unbelievable!
Perhaps Spike Lee should rethink his silence and follow the title of his academy award nominated film and Do the Right Thing and stop inciting racial tensions that could result in potential violence to innocent individuals.
Mr. Lee we, and these old folks in Florida, await your apology.

Is the elderly couple white? If so, Spike Lee does not give a rat’s behind and is probably glad he did it. There’ll be no apology unless they’re black.
Elderly couple should sue the turds out of Spike.
Just heard about this on the Dennis Miller show. Hey Spike, know all that money you got that buys you front row seats at every Knicks game? Say buh-bye to dat!
If anything happens to this couple, their next-of-kin will wind up owning all of Spike’s stuff.
grab a seat
He would be an accomplice if anything happens to these people, would he not?
Umm they already have a fantastic case...I wouldn’t be surprised if Mr. Spikes attorneys are currently floating a deal for the wronged citizens...with an iron clad binding non- disclosure agreement im sure...
Since the last presidential election we have had a great but disturbing insight what the USA will look like when the perpetual victims become our rulers.
Seems they are not ready for prime time civilization.
Too bad as this would have been a great opportunity to heal those open wounds but these DNA challenged scum are pouring acid into those wounds until they are now starting to bleed. FOOLS everyone of them.
But that will have to wait until January, 2013.
Someone has already beaten me to it, but yes, if the elderly couple is white, Spike Lee will be just as happy.

Spike Lee is a domestic terrorist.
Anyone know Lee’s address?
WE ARE ALL GEORGE ZIMMERMAN
Victims of the race baiters & poverty pimps:
Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Democratic Party,
Spike Lee, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton,
"journalists" in the main stream newspapers,
"journalists" in broadcast news at CNN, ABC, CBS, & NBC
Evidently he doesn’t care. If he did, he would make an honest effort to rectify the situation...
I thought we were all Jim Thompson.
“Let’s turn up the heat on his bitch ass!!!”
Sauce for the goose...
It doesn't matter what color these folks are I can just imagine how scared they were and are..
What ever these blacks are looking for I am afraid they won't like when it is over..They think they are so tough well we will see..
Mr. Lee I say this from the bottom of my heart, I hope the most vile nasty ambulance chasing pack of lawyers sue your ass to kingdom come on behalf of this poor couple. And I hope they empties you bank accounts and send you to the po' house!
Him too!
Will Obama have a beer summit with Spike Lee and the old folks that were forced to flee their home?
“The confusion seems to stem from the fact the woman’s son is named William George Zimmerman and he lived briefly at the address in 1995.
When William Zimmerman pleaded with the man who tweeted the address, the man responded, “Black power all day. No justice, no peace” along with an obscenity.
A group calling themselves the New Black Panther Party putting out a bounty for George Zimmerman’s arrest. It says $10,000 on the poster. They announced the amount is up to $23,000. The New Black Panther Party says they’d like to make it $1 million.

Too bad we cannot reinstate 1950’s style blacklist for communist and traitors. A-holes like Spike would no longer get any work to do !
Forget an apology. This couple needs to sue. I can think of at least a half a dozen civil suits out of this.
Yes, the couple needs the lawyer version of Pumpkinhead.
if ever there was a black man that was ever the world’s biggest little bitchboy
it is Spike Lee
he has spewed anti-white racist remarks for decades
from behind that toothy nutty professor facade so many black “intellectuals” seem to favor
I hope they sue the snot out of him
This crap almost makes me use the n word. I’ll admit it makes me think it a lot. And that’s too bad. It was gone from my vocabulary until obama started his destruction of this nation.
I heard this same crap back when Clinton was running for re-election....DUmmies said the same thing about Bush.
Better to lose, and control Congress, and have a better GOP candidate for 2016, than to have Romney win, and not have a decent Republican candidate for 2016.
No, an apology won't do... Spike has endangered the lives of these people in a way that he can't just "take back". Save their attorneys some trouble, Spike - post YOUR address for the process server.
100k isnt enough.
They have to abandon their home now. They can never live freely there again.
My advice is for them to sue, seek a settlement, buy the home in the name of a Trust and try as much as possible to go off the grid.
Here is Zimmerman’s real address
1060 West Addison
Chicago, Illinois
Outside of the Republic of Texas, that may well be the case.
They should sue the geeky little prick.
I hope they sue the crap out of Spike Lee! It’s not about greed, he needs to be held responsible for his careless actions.
*** If we lose and BHO gets his second term, we may not see any future elections. ***
How can that be? I’m told over and over again here at FR that a second Obama term is far preferable to electing Romney.
The die is cast, Romney vs. Obama. With so many staying home, guess it will be Obama.
That’s better, right?
I take some pride in never giving this talentless individual one penny because I have never stooped so low as to see his trash films.
Absolutely! These people need to be held accountable for their words and actions!!!
SPIKE LEE IS JUST ANOTHER GUTLESS LIBERAL WORM !
Well, the problem with that reasoning, is that Obama may well have at least two Supreme Court appointments in the next four years, if he’s re-elected.
If Obama is re-elected, I certainly hope it’s paired with Republicans taking the Senate in November’s elections. That’s all I can say.
I want one !!!
I am not a person who thinks ‘sue’ in every situation, but I’m thinking sue here.
Even if it had been the right address, it was a horrible thing to do.
This couple should have a couple mil of Spike’s stash within weeks.
He'll likely say, "So what? They was white, wasn't they?"
Apology? why not demand his arrest!!!
“How can that be? I’m told over and over again here at FR that a second Obama term is far preferable to electing Romney.”
As if the Communist-In-Chief hadn’t already done enough, it would seem that his latest “open-mike gaffe” regarding missile defense and his race-pimping of the Trayvon Martin case would make folks re-think that position. Jeez...will anything this destructive Marxist idiot does trump their hatred of Romney? And no, I’m not a “Romney-bot” for anyone wanting to post that foolishness.
