“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.

Forget an apology. This couple needs to sue. I can think of at least a half a dozen civil suits out of this.

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.

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.

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.

Spike Lee doesn’t need an apology. He needs an ass kicking. If that was my family, I would beat the hell out of that little bitch. An apology ain’t worth nothing. Sue his ass for IIED, or handle this outside the law so he learned a lesson that he’s accountable for his actions one way or the other.

Maybe the Grand Poobah of the KKK will issue a wanted poster for him!
No wait, Robert KKK-Byrd(D) is dead.

Maybe he should Text the Racist Panthers instead and tell them to be civil.

Spike Lee is, to quote George W. Bush in another context, a “Major League A**h***.”

What a punk. Is that jerk really a grown man? Or is he a 13 year old child?

Lee should be sued for every inch of forty acres.

Apology hell. I’d lawyer up and sue Spike Lee for everything he’s worth.

This BS endangered their lives and forced them to flee from their own home.

Reckless endangerment, inciting violence, violation of a private citizen’s privacy rights, etc. I’d nail Lee to the frickin wall on this.

He should be arrested for that. What would have happened if his ‘tweet buddies’ would have burned that house down or something stupid. Lee is an idiot.
