Filmmaker Spike Lee tweeted the wrong home address for George Zimmerman, the Sanford, Fla., man who many are claiming should be arrested for shooting and killing Trayvon Martin. The tweet could have potentially put the woman who actually lives at that address in danger.
The Washington Times’ Kerry Picket went to the address that Lee tweeted as members of the New Black Panther Party were offering a $10,000 cash reward for Zimmerman’s capture, “dead or alive,” and others were demanding his arrest.
“[T]he Edgewater Circle address Mr. Lee re-tweeted out is not part of the gated Retreat at Twin Lakes where the shooting took place and where Mr. Zimmerman lives,” Picket reported. “The area is not even a gated community.”
“In fact, I took a drive to that Edgewater Circle address that so many on Twitter re-tweeted and cursed, and I discovered through a neighbor, named Tim, who lives across the street from the address, that not only does George Zimmerman not live at the lakeside house but a woman by the name of Elaine does,” Picket added.
Picket also said several news agencies have showed up at the address looking for Zimmerman, which – with the crowds the Panthers, MSNBC’s Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have whipped up into a frenzy – may have put the woman, Elaine, in danger.

Sorry excuse for someone who is supposedly a talented individual. He is nothing more than a racist and the press salivates over his every word. Where is the attorney general and law enforcement? They are allowing the Black Panthers to put out a hit on a citizen and the Moron Lee throws gas on the fire and can’t even get the address right. Why do good people let this happen, are we going down the toilet or what?
I hope, really hope, the VICTIMS of Spike Lee’s post sue him for every dime he has ever made. I am not the law suit type, but I would certainly make an exception in this case.
it was a dumbass thing even if he had the right address
so much for his “always do the right thing”
Communists never apologies or willingly relinquish power. Never ever. If they are removed from positions where they can cause harm, it is by another who can cause more.
This is the nature of their beast.
Just shoot them if you can catch them eating their young.
This is one of the many reasons why lynch mobs are illegal, and why those with such mentalities are a danger to society.
Thank you for contributing to the hysteria and thirst for blood, Spike Lee. Your ignorance associated with the case is, at the very least, putting innocent people in danger, and, at worst, laying portions of the groundwork for a full-blown race war.
But, of course, you won’t apologize for your “tweets” to those you’ve endangered, will you?
SPIKE LEE HAS GIVEN THE POWDER TO BLACKS TO LIGHT THE THE GROUND, SPIKE LEE has undone what MARTIN LUTHER DID, AND TOOK AWAY THE TRUST THAT THE PEOPLE HAVE ON THE BLACKS,
WITH HIS STUPID DECISION TO GIVE THE ADDRESS AND PUTTING A FAMILY IN A GREAT DANGER, FORCING THEM TO PREPARE AND ARM TO DEFEND THEIR LIVES, AGAINST THUGS WHO HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO HATE, ANY COLOR WHICH IS NOT THEIR OWN,
SPIKE LEE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING BAD HAPPENING FROM NOW ON,
TO THE NON BLACKS ANYWHERE, ANYHOW. IT’S DONE, THE RACE CARD IS AGAIN PLAYED AGAINST THE AMERICANS, SHAME ON THOSE WHO INCITE THE YOUNG TO HATE OTHER.
oh, Spike Lee apologized for giving out the wrong address
when he should have apologized for giving out ANY address
i used to like his movies as they were generally well made
but i doubt i will see anything he does from here on out
@DiveCon:
He not only apologized, he is paying all their bills because of the inconvenience.
Who knows, maybe he can take the lead in doing the right thing.
Good for him.
@Nan G: but my point is, he SHOULD be apologizing for retweeting ANY address
all it did was further inflame the situation

I like the way FOX NEWS ARE TYING TO EASE THE RACIST TENTIONS BY PUTTING THE DOT ON THE i,
as oppose TO THE BLACK ELECTED TALKING OF HATE INCITING THE BLACKS TO HURT THE WHITES, AND CNN PLUS NBC PLAYING ALONG THE HATE CARD ,
FOX IS GETTING ALL ON BOTH SIDES TO GET THE PUBLIC TO SEE AND DEDUCT THEIR OWN TRUTHS
ALONG WITH THE BLACKS HAVING BEEN TAKEN FOR A RIDE BY THOSE HINTING HATE AND OUTLAW’S
PUNISHMENT FOR NO GOOD REASON.
FOX YOU ARE THE SMART WISE ONE.
