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."

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

LIBERAL COLLATERAL DAMAGE.

They may “own” half of Twitter by the end of the year.

Zimmerman traced the tweets — which he said have been retweeted by actor-director Spike Lee — to a man in California. Zimmerman has implored the man to stop and said he received this response, "Black power all day. No justice, no peace" and an obscenity.

Lee's tweet has been removed, but it continues to be retweeted.

Looks like there are some more deep pockets ready for a major lawsuit. Let's see how much "Do The Right Thing" money is really left.

That idiot Spike Lee should be paying their hotel bill and whatever else they feel like buying.

[Smokin' Joe]

They should get a good lawyer and sue the living crap out of any and every one who posted the wrong address, starting with the first ones to do so. If any major media did, they should be seeking enough to buy a small country of their own.

[Dallas59]

It might be RACISM to sue “Spike Lee”.

[TASMANIANRED]

They need to sue Spike Lee.

[Outlaw Woman]

One Word:

LAWSUIT!

Hotel bill? Spike Lee should be paying for their great grandchildren’s college before he is off the hook.

Spike Lee should be paying for their great grandchildren’s college before he is off the hook.

Do The Right Thing, Spike.

0bungles and withHolder better get on top of this quick or they’re going to own a world of anger.

Time to lawyer up !! Hit ‘em in the pocket book.

“Zimmerman traced the tweets — which he said have been retweeted by actor-director Spike Lee — to a man in California. Zimmerman has implored the man to stop and said he received this response, “Black power all day. No justice, no peace” and an obscenity.”

That pretty much sums up the whole situation.

[Godwin1]

Spike Lee is not only a racist demagogue. He is an incredibly stupid racist demagogue. Then again , what would you expect?

[NoLibZone]

true that.

We have abandoned a great many positions merely becasue they are better at politics than we are.
