Elderly couple abandons their home after address is posted on Twitter as that of George Zimmerman
orlandosentinel.com ^ | March 27, 2012 | Susan Jacobson

Posted on 03/27/2012 9:15:10 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

A school-cafeteria lunch lady and her husband have received hate mail, unwanted visits from reporters and fearful inquiries from neighbors — all because their Sanford-area address is being disseminated on Twitter as belonging to Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman, her son said late Tuesday.

The woman, 70, who has a heart condition, and her husband, 72, have temporarily moved to a hotel to avoid the spotlight and possible danger, said son Chip Humble of Longwood.

The woman has another son named William George Zimmerman who lived with her in 1995 and still lives in Central Florida. He is no relation to George Zimmerman, 28, who killed 17-year-old Trayvon Feb. 26, sparking national outrage and international interest.

William Zimmerman isn't sure how his mother and stepfather's address became public. He said he used it to register a car, get a drivers license and vote when he lived there briefly after college.

"This is really scary, and I'm concerned for my family," Zimmerman told the Orlando Sentinel Tuesday night. "It's scary because there are people who aren't mentally right and will take this information and run with it."

The US Deptartment of Justice is concerned only with complaints from Holder’s people.
If you’re white and have a complaint, they don’t want to be bothered.

This is what happens when people who fail to garner the facts first, and are taken up by “get whitey” rage. And not even a word of regret from that little punkass Lee.

Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman, sue him for everything he owns. Everything.

Unfortunately we have the deeply corrupt and racist “AG” Holder, who`ll put the brakes on any attempt to bring the NBP down. I have no doubt he`s connected to them.

In a real world, where we were not under the boots of a lawless regime, clowns like Higgins and Lee would still be answering questions in the FBI and Homeland Security offices for these terroristic threats.

But that will have to wait until January, 2013.

This is a tragedy beyond anyone’s imagination. I’m sure Obama will be calling that family today to offer his support. Spike Lee should have been on every morning show today offering his sincere apologies for retweeting their address, inciting violence. However, Spike Lee is a liberal, he doesn’t need to apologize for the violence he incites.

This is what we’re up against this November, I hope everyone fully understands.

who? Sharpton has the blood of many on his hands, doesn’t pay taxes and he has a TV show.. Spike will just make another movie about evil whitey and Ray Lewis, who was found responsible for crimes that led to two deaths, will just retire with millions in the bank.. Holder’s people never pay for crimes.

It is going to happen, whether we find out about it or not. The fans continue to be flamed, now by people in Congress. It is shameful.

The races have never been more suspicious of each other. But, hey, obama is helping his GOTV campaign for one more segment of his base.

This is the Repubs have a “War on Blacks” segment of the campaign. We’ve had a “War on Women”. What’s next? War on Gays, or ???

......and Zimmerman wasn’t white.

Doesn’t matter....the stand your ground law was passed by Republicans. The “attitude” of the police (associated with Repubs) was “racist” by not immediately arresting Zimmerman.....and so on.

THis is about inciting a segment of your base by appealing to their emotion, regardless of the facts (like with Sandra Fluke).

It doesn’t appear from his Twitter account that Spike Lee has apologized for any of this, or made any effort to use his celebrity status to alert his followers that he gave the wrong address.

This is an example of the “compassionate” nature of the American Left.

Yep, thugs and their big bully 'older brothers' in the MSM ... If a group on the right was doing this, would the MSM use terms like 'vigilantes, terrorists, etc to describe it? Yes, they would. When it's folks on 'their side', they put on blinders.

I know, don’t hold my breath, but:

Spike Lee ought to IMMEDIATELY contact this couple, BUY THEIR HOME at whatever is a reasonable amount that will allow them to move to a comparable home, APOLOGIZE publicly and let everyone know how wrong he was. He may discover he then needs to bulldoze it since it may not be salable, but that decision is able to wait.

Simply following the example of their “post racial” President. Fanning the fires of a race war.

What do these people think will happen when they start attacking innocent white people? Yep. Just what Obama hopes will happen.

I’m having trouble finding the comments of the Republican leaders that are standing up to Obama’s (and the rest of the congressional Dems) attempts to start open race warfare. Oh, there aren’t any.

Its sad, if you ask me MSNBC should be made to pay for George Zimmerman’s protection from this mob.

They helped convicted him among the left without a trial.

Like it or not White and Latino people have just as much right to defend themselves as black people. George Zimmerman got the shit beat out of him by some black kid, he rightfully feared for his life, and appropriately defended his life.

The only place communists should live is on the operating end of a gandy stick.
I Want to See the Hard Core communist/socialist agenda and it’s zombies Crushed. I want to see their political philosophy dead and discredited. I want to see those enamored of it eradicated from the media, from politics, from academic positions, from any position of power. I want to see the adherents of that dead and discredited idea in charge of nothing beyond a gandy stick and acknowledged for what they are.
