Roseanne Barr Joins Twitter Vigilante Crew Star tweeted home address of George Zimmerman's parents
The Smoking Gun ^ | March 29, 2012

MARCH 29--The comedian Roseanne Barr last night tweeted the home address of George Zimmerman’s parents to her 110,000-plus Twitter followers, only to delete the posting after “not fully understanding that it was private not public.”

Barr’s posting of the correct Florida address of Robert and Gladys Zimmerman came at the same time Spike Lee was issuing an apology for erroneously disseminating a tweet that purportedly contained the home address of George Zimmerman, who last month killed teenager Trayvon Martin.

The residence cited by Lee is actually the home of an elderly couple with no connection to Zimmerman.

Barr, who deleted her tweet in the face of criticism from some Twitter followers, noted that she first thought it “was good to let ppl know that no one can hide anymore.” That stance quickly changed, with Barr reporting, “But vigilante-ism is what killed Trayvon. I don’t support that.”

But while Barr deleted her original posting, the Zimmermans’s address remains in messages in her Twitter stream. Barr’s original tweet was a retweet of a post by a new Twitter user who appears devoted to disseminating the Zimmermans’s address and phone number, as well as contact information for Joseph Oliver, who has made numerous TV appearances in support of Zimmerman, a friend and former co-worker.

Still, the entertainer left open the possibility that she would again circulate the Lake Mary address of Zimmerman’s parents. “If Zimmerman isn’t arrested I’ll rt his address again.” She added, “maybe go 2 his house myself.”

There is no indication that Zimmerman, who is reportedly in hiding, is holed up in his parents’s residence.

By tweeting the Zimmermans’s address, Barr appears to have violated Twitter rules that state, “You may not publish or post other people's private and confidential information, such as credit card numbers, street address or Social Security/National Identity numbers, without their express authorization and permission.” (3 pages)

Vigilante bitch... is she bringing the rope for the lynching or just sending the cash?

Yeah, these folks are charming. No different than the KKK.

but since Roseanne Barr is a liberal Hollywood idiot, she will not be held accountable for this.

I want to see if Spike Lee is held accountable for his actions. He’s a prominent liberal, so it’s doubtful that he will be held responsible for doing what he did on Twitter.

Sue her twice.

Once for posting the wrong address. Once for posting the right one. In the furtherance of murder.

And what if they 'enjoy' having blood on their hands?

The power to do as one wishes, without redress.

I hope this couple has already signed up a good attorney to sue the libs for endangering their lives. Oh, and by the way, sue Twitter for not catching the address being made public.

I bet Zimmerman can use Morgan and Morgan right now. I hope he hires them asap. Roseanne Barr needs to be sued.

These multimillionaire Hollywood morons who live in gated communities and would rather have an eye plucked out than be seen in a Wal Mart store make me puke with their sanctimonious posturing and eagerness to get in on the public lynching of someone who may not be guilty of anything, once all the facts are known. Lee and Barr are violating law and no one cares.

Should some maniac harm Zimmerman and/or his parents because these Hollywood idiots Tweeted his address and the nut was able to locate him, they'll have sad faces, issue empty apologies and then shrug get in their limo and return to their Hollywood homes, safe from thugs - and feeling self-righteous.

If Zimmerman is found not to have committed a crime he is going to lawyers lined up at his door to help him sue rich morons like Barr and Lee that attempted to endanger his life with their 'tweets' of his parent's address.

Inciting to riot?
Disturbing the peace?

There really are valid charges for the kinds of stuff these clowns are doing to the Zimmermans.

The message is clear:

If you infuriate a Liberal, your family will be terrorized, if not murdered.

Another example of the abject stupidity of much of Hollywood and the entertainment industry.
