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 Lees 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 Zimmermans address, the man who shot Trayvon Martin. Mr. Lees 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 Lees twitter followers tweeted, Lets turn up the heat on his bitch ass!!! and Get this mutha f#####!! as the followers retweeted the elderly couples 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.

Is the elderly couple white? If so, Spike Lee does not give a rat’s behind and is probably glad he did it. There’ll be no apology unless they’re black.

If anything happens to this couple, their next-of-kin will wind up owning all of Spike’s stuff.

Since the last presidential election we have had a great but disturbing insight what the USA will look like when the perpetual victims become our rulers.
Seems they are not ready for prime time civilization.
Too bad as this would have been a great opportunity to heal those open wounds but these DNA challenged scum are pouring acid into those wounds until they are now starting to bleed. FOOLS everyone of 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.

As a longtime participant in boycotting rotten american pop culture, I can safely say I have not spent a dime subsidizing Spike Lee's pay.
Someone has already beaten me to it, but yes, if the elderly couple is white, Spike Lee will be just as happy.

Seems to me they have a civil case against Lee. They have clearly suffered financial damage and mental anguish caused directly by an action taken by Spike Lee. If I were them, I'd be looking for ten mil at least.

Evidently he doesn’t care. If he did, he would make an honest effort to rectify the situation...

Mr. Lee, since you are obviously not very smart, let me offer you some advice:
Apologize to this couple posthaste and offer them some large cash (at least $100K) for their trouble. (News reports say they have fled the home in fear.)
Elderly couple, since you are innocent bystanders in this, I'd suggest you sue the crap outta Mr. Lee.

"Spike Lee Silent After His Tweet Jeopardizes Elderly Couple's Lives" 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!
