Spike Lee may want to brush up on his Google Fu skills. The Brooklyn-based film maker decided he’s just the person to get involved in the firestorm over the shooting of Trayvon Martin because, you know, no one else is. The only question: how to “do something” productive that will, you know, make a real splash? The director evidently figured that, since no one knew exactly where George Zimmerman currently is, he’d point everyone to his home address via Twitter. What would be better than directing an angry mob and hordes of reporters to harass a murdering racist hoody-shooter, right? Only one problem. There’s more than one George Zimmerman . . .
Hell, I have a nephew named George Zimmerman. But he’s 15 and resides in Missouri. Thank God. Good thing Spike’s internet search skillz don’t suck quite that much. From orlandosentinal.com:
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 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.
Oh well. I’m sure Spike will be more than happy to pick up the elderly couple’s hotel tab and help clear the press and protestors off of their lawn. If not, there’s no shortage of attorneys in central Florida who will be more than happy to help them recoup the costs they’ve incurred due to the reckless actions of a New York celebrity dilettante.
And not a peep of a retraction from the much esteemed Spike.
It figures. Spike (DID THE WRONG THING) Lee.
If I Tweet Spike’s address any bets on how long before the FBI comes a callin’ on me?
Likely true IMO.
Side note: Hannity on his tv show tonight said a “Guy from California” tweeted his address. Shame on you Hannity, your in news, get the facts right. wimp.
They always have supported and promoted black on white crime.
Just two days. That's all.
But, having been critical, I am obliged to acknowledge that the wonderful Spike did the right thing . . . finally.
(Probably on advice of counsel)
The original tweet was traced back to some guy in CA and Lee re-tweeted it several times.
spike you a dumb ape. sissy punk
Damn, he did his best to direct the lynch mob to the guys house. I’ve never heard anyone accuse Spike of being intelligent ... not even Slow Joe!
Why hasn’t Spike Lee been charged with a crime? Where are the prosecutors in FL?
Yes it does seem that the “Black leadership “ is working to get lynch mobs formed & running wild . No I do not think this will end well . BLOAT
Now lets not have any potty mouth name calling going on here . Even if the subject of the name calling is an embarasment to all carbon based life forms.
