Spike Lee has apologized to a Florida couple who say they were forced to leave their home when a Twitter posting that the director helped spread listed their address as that of a man who shot an unarmed teenager.

Elaine and David McClain are in their 70s and say they have a son named William George Zimmerman who lived in their Sanford-area home in the mid-1990s. They say he is no relation to 28-year-old George Zimmerman who killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26.

Now the media carries the story to make Spike Lee the racist look like a nice guy. SCUM.

The MSM works with dems. Shame on them.

Sue that racist POS..

[Doogle]

old couple lawyers up
Lee checks wallet....apologizes

[livius]

Sue the socks off him. His “apology” doesn’t do anything to right the wrong. These people had to move out of their house because of this jerk.

[hoosiermama]

It happened so quickly.
OTOH sounds like the apology could be considered an admission of quilt....Up goes the settlement.

Spike loses by that tweet no matter what. Even if it was the real George Zimmerman.

And, Spike didn’t even try to walk this back right away, instead he let that old couple stew. Spike’s going to get sued. That is a known.

Spike: They’s white crackers anyway, and all looks alike -

Spike meet John.
Couple hired John Morgans law firm.
Now here is where it gets interesting. Morgan is a BIG ZERO supporter. He has thrown several fundraisers at his ambulance chasing home.
Look for a settlement and hushed up real quick. . . . .

spike lucky that the couple were rats?

[catfish1957]

Sue?... I'd love it. If it was me, I would find this punk Spike Lee and punch him. Based on his actions, mine would be justified by the courts.

Seeing his nose bloodied would be a blast.

[HiTech RedNeck]

except that some of the homies will take spike lee’s lag at even calling the dogs off of these “wrong honkies” as license to attack more honkies for DA CAUSE, maybe still even these people. spike lee is not out of the woods yet.

[Lazamataz]

A real apology might include payment for costs incurred by Lee’s actions. Hotel, house damage if any, lost work if any, you know, stuff a RESPONSIBLE adult might pay for if they were worth eleventy-skadillion dollars.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Prolly will that, but will be really pinched about it.

Truer justice would be to have to hire a white bodyguard for the couple for the rest of their lives.

[9YearLurker]

It’s time for Spike to make it up to them, not just apologize.

[DeaconRed]

"spike lucky that the couple were rats?"

Are the couple RATS too.
I know Morgan is, like I said he threw several fundraisers for ZERO and he is good friends with the slime ball John Edwards. . . .

[blueplum]

I doubt the people who follow spike lee on twitter have the intelligence to associate the name of the couple with the address that was tweeted.

I hope the elderly couple sues him for 500 million for inciting violence against them and causing them, at their age, to leave their home, and I hope they have a Conservative judge who doubles it.

Spike Lee, Holder, Black Panters, and even Obama to a certain degree.

These are all a certain type of Black, who if they were White, would all be fanatic supporters of the KKK and the Nazi supremacists.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Not good enough.
