“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.

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.
