@SpikeLee

I Deeply Apologize To The McClain Family For Retweeting Their Address.It Was A Mistake.Please Leave The McClain's In Peace.Justice In Court

[Tupelo]

“malicious, slanderous, racist bitch into the ground.”

That sir, is an insult to my Lab/Shepard mix. She demands an apology forthwith.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Spike prolly just found out these folks are going to sue the snot out of him. I hope they get $10 million.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I hope they sue his racist black ass to the poorhouse.

[a fool in paradise]

He’s sorry that people got offended, not that he did it.

[Intolerant in NJ]

Talk’s cheap - reimburse them for all the money they’ve spent on hotal bills and the rest, with a nice bonus for pain and suffering - then we might believe the “apology”.....

[Ditto]

"He probably heard the couple lawyered up and plan on suing his ass to kingdom come."

My guess is that Spike's lawyer told him that if anything happens to this couple, they will own his ass.

I doubt he gives a crap what happens to a couple of old white people. He just doesn't want to lose all his stuff over it and some lawyer finally told the dumb SOB that is exactly what would (and still could) happen.

Who thinks all his idiot Tweeter followers got the second message?

[Shannon]

You're absolutely right. If it had been a Repub who'd posted that couple's address, he would have been arrested.

[Pining_4_TX]

I would think he broke some law in inciting violence against Zimmerman. At the very least, Zimmerman and the elderly couple should sue the jerk. I hope Lee loses everything.

[boop]

Lee's "defense" will be that the address was tweeted to him and he was just passing it along.

Yeah that defense worked so well at Nuremberg. "I was just following orders!"

I don't think that Lee can spin his way out of his clear INTENT to harm Zimmerman.

[Melas]

Mark my words. Even if they sue and win, their settlement won’t even approach a million dollars. The naivete on this thread is epic indeed.

[My Favorite Headache]

I can’t believe Lee has millions to his name after he has made one flop after another....look:

[HerrBlucher]

Consider them marked.

[RayChuang88]

Lee is in deep doo doo and he knows it, he will be lucky to keep the shirt on his back.

That's if Lee isn't "cooling his heels" in jail for a felony charge of inciting violence first....

[sport]

“cooling his heela” aint going to happen. Lee is one of Holder’s protected.

[cherry]

so many "black" singers/actors etc use the wee little black blood in them to get them jobs or parts or offerings....

nothing like using the "me black" card to get you in the door...scholarships...jobs...and most of all...righteous indignation....

[Yaelle]

We wanna see that FL couple in your Knicks seats!

[Yaelle]

Looking at Lee a little more, I’m thinking he’s really a White African-American.

---

Lol! You couldn’t insult him more!

Or could you...? He’s a SMALL. white African American.

[Pining_4_TX]

I agree, that is, if there is any rule of law left in this country.

Wonder how Spike would feel if his address were to be posted on the internet?
