(AP) SANFORD, Fla. - An elderly couple has reached a settlement with Spike Lee after the pair said they had to leave their Florida home after the director help spread a Twitter posting listing their address as that of the man who shot an unarmed teen.
The couple's attorney, Matt Morgan, announced the settlement Thursday. Morgan says Lee called them to apologize ...

"He was really kind," Elaine McClain said. "And when he called us, you could just tell he really felt bad about it.
Isn’t this called ‘Hush’ money?
I think that is mighty white of Spike.
Felt bad my hip pockets. The thug wanted to get a man murdered. Simple as that. No other reason to put out the address. He was too much of a coward to murder the guy himself, so just put out the address so the other thugs can do it for him, then he is the hero.
That is so sweet; a “colored” man giving money to two old whities.
Spike Lee, if that is his real name, is beneath contempt.
People that feel bad, don’t do the same thing within two days of each other.
Sorry, you useless bag of leftist slop. Ain’t buying it.
I just heard the KKK was tweeted Spike Lee’s address because the media is so immune and impartial to covering such instances. Good luck to Spike and the Black Panthers. We wish them well.
Agreed.
Have you noticed that NO ONE has stood up to him and his gang of thugs? (nbp) Not the AG of FL, not the county, or town. Not one LEO has made any attempt (that I’ve seen) to throw water on these threats and actions.
We are all on our own.
No mention of what the ‘settlement’ amount was... but, I hope they got enough to cover all expenses, attorney fees, and a good-size chunk of hard-core ‘damages’ cash to allow them to go on an extended vacation far from their home.
Gee, I hope everybody got the memo that these were the wrong people. If not, she might still end up a door nail as in dead.
I’m satisfied if the McClain’s are ok with this.
He only felt bad because it was the wrong address.
It would have been nice to see someone drag this hoodlum into court though. But in the end, it was their decision.
He knew he’d better make up for it somehow and PDQ
Good to see these poor abused white people are finally getting reparations from the rich powerful black man. Fo Shizzle.
Lee was born in Alabama. He's 55 years old. His real name is Shelton Jackson Lee. No, he's not related to that other commie dingbat, Sheila Jackson Lee.
He's beneath contempt as well as beneath most everything else....he's 5'6" tall.
Leni
His real name is Shelton.
I’ll just leave it at that.
