agreed.. Its a tragedy that the kid died but why the hell would Spike Lee do that?! What does he want, for one of his tweeter followers to assault Zimmerman or worst kill him? Way to go Spike.. Let the justice system take care of this problem. Spike needs to apologize and clear up this misunderstanding + pay for hotel expenses.. This another reason that twitter is stupid.

I'm getting real tired of the liberal/progressive mob mentality in this country.

It's just an example of how Spike Lee is a hateful, black racist scumbag who should be criminally charged.

Spike Lee is a racist and an @!$%#

What if something would have or yet still does happen to these people? Could Spike Lee be an accomplice???? Or what if the address could have been the correct one and somebody goes and Shoots Zimmerman, Then what? Who's to blame, The shooter or Spike Lee? People really underestimate the ramifications of their actions or in this case their tweets!

He just wants to try and remain relevant to anythng. It's a sign of desperation.

What does he want, for one of his tweeter followers to assault Zimmerman or worst kill him?

The "New" Black Panther Party has offered a 1 million dollar reward for the capture of Zimmerman, dead or alive. They claim that Spike Lee was one of the contributors that made that substantial offer possible. Although in my mind the offer of the reward rises to the level of a "racially motivated hate crime", I would bet that Holder and the Justice Dept. don't even acknowledge that it was made. Until all the facts in this case are made public, people just need to chill.

Notice that he hasn't apologized yet either?

Good old mob mentality on the left. Also, I guess Spike like most of the liberal african americans ceases to show himself when they find out they are wrong as usual.

They came out of the wood work for the Duke Lacross rape and when it was found that the woman plotted and lied about the whole thing, did you see Jesse or Sharpton show back up and apologize?

Nope.

These guys only care about the publicity and the people that follow them blindly (Spike, Jess, Sharpton, etc) are just unintelligent sheep.

Man up Spike and apologize.

Spike Lee is an accomplice to any harm that these people face and, I believe, is culpable for damages caused to them. I believe the couple has a great lawsuit against him. It's obvious that Mr. Lee intended harm to the person/s living at that address (Zimmerman) and he attempted to recruit others to do the dirty work for him. He's a baiter and should have papers filed on him. I imagine that if this couple was killed in their sleep (due in part to Lee's posting) that he'd say, "Oh s$%#" and have nothing additional to say for a while. Not his fault.....

Just imagine the outrage if someone put out an addresss with a situation the other way around. You'd be hearing constant MSNBC rants of KKK, supremicists, racism, etc.

Normally, I don't support law suits for honest mistakes. But I have to say that I think Lee should be used as an example of how public-eye individuals with a following must exhibit responsibility for making certain not to exacerbate a national issue.

Maybe he should step up, correct his error, foot the bill for these unfortunate folks, and then alter his future behavior. I've never thought of him as being a fair-minded, responsible sort of guy, though.

The McClains shouldn't worry; everyone knows that blacks only want justice through the legal system and are in no way violent. That is what the demonstrations are all about. All is well. What is scary is some white fool who has decided what the facts are when he wasn't even there will take matters into his own hands. Whoops! Oh, sorry! Well, you probably did something else mean anyway. Next!

people should definitely think about the consequence of action, but then again, if they do, they would just ignore a unconfirmed information from twitter

Do 3 wrongs make a right?

Spike lee should be prosecuted for wanted endangerment and attempted murder. The only reason anyone would make public Zimmerman's address is to cause bodily harm. These movie stars, athletes and performers need to be held accountable for their actions. They are the ones behind making this whole thing go viral.

I agree twitter is stupid but to paraphrase another: twitter doesn't say stupid things, only the very stupid person using it does.

Among those retweeting the couple's address was film director Spike Lee...

It wouldn't be any better if it was the right address he had tweeted. He certainly knows how sensitive and potentially explosive this situation is, and risks creating a lynch mob action.

It only takes one person with influence to start a mob down a violent path. He pandering to the worst in people.

Hopefully a good lawyer contacts these individuals and sets up the case to sue Spike Lee....teach him a lesson about inciting a mob and putting people in harms way.

Wow what an a##hole Spike Lee is. Even if it was his address. Is that what we've learned from this incident? To use intimidation and thuggery to solve life's problems?

Spike lee should be prosecuted for wanted endangerment and attempted murder.

Meanwhile the actual murderer walks free. Of course Spike Lee is black, so there is a different standard of justice.

Gee, if we lived in a Christian country, we wouldn't have to worry about such things.

zimmerman did nothing wrong,he was attacked by a thug,and defended himself.

Yes, he was told repeatedly to stand down by the 9/11 operators, and ignoring them he started a fight with the kid, who ended up dead.

Zimmerman is a murderer. These folks are just collateral damage . . . and Lee should have known better.

It's surprising how many right-wing haters have come out offering to send the Klan after Spike. Pretty revealing.

Sounds like conservatives want a lynching instead of an election this year.

I hope the McClains find a good lawyer and sue Spike Lee for millions.

Additionally, Spike Lee should be arrested and put on trial for inciting violence against people. That goes for the New Black Panthers as well. They need to be held criminally accountable. Where's the FBI and Justice Department on this one?

Oh, that's right, Attorney General Eric Holder won't go after his fellow black people, he only wants to prosecute whites. He looks the other way when blacks commit crimes.

I love how none of these people calling Spike out and calling him a racist and other nonsense know absolutely nothing about him and are disregarding that fact that he didn't originate the message. I know thinking is pretty difficult for some people but it clearly states in the article that he was one of many people retweeting. I feel sympathy for the couple, but how is any of this Spike Lee's fault?

Just what is that racist scum Spike Lee trying to prove? That it's open season on white people?

I feel bad about what happened in Sanford - both for the family of the black kid and for the guy who shot him - but don't think my neighbors and I are gonna sit idly by and let our homes come under attack by roving mobs of black criminals

Blackdragon55, all the kid was trying to do was to stand his ground in the face of the threat of a stalker. Standing his ground is legal. Unfortunately, Zimmerman the night stalker then shot him.

this is the end result when someone is murdered and murderer is not brought to justice do to a horrible law in a back asswards state.

just think ALL of this could be avoided if it wasn't for that foolishness, and a horrible law that will only allow people ot get away with murder

Yeah, right, a different standard of justice. Uh huh, so good ol' Spike Lee is black and therefor he is exempt from directing actions towards an innocent couple, an action that could result in their murders, but hey, Spike is black and therefor above the law. Am I reading this right? Give ol' Spike a break, he's black? Guess the New Black Panthers should also get a break, they're only calling for the Wanted Dead or Alive posters and the bounty on Zimmerman's head.

Your post is exactly what is wrong here. In your world, only white people get off and only white people should be prosecuted for crimes. Do you want to be equal or do you want special privileges?

Boycott Spike Lee, boycott Sharpton, boycott anyone looking for vigilante 'justice' because they don't really want justice, they want to incite riots. Lee especially is an idiot of the first stripe, sending out an adress for essentially calling for a hit on someone and then getting the wrong address, thus placing lives in danger and not one person in the black community is standing up against Lee for doing this. This isn't about equal rights. this is about looking to get someone killed. I am beginning to think that this won't end until someone is killed and don't feed me that garbage about Martin, this is way beyond that, this is ugly and dangerous and needs to stop now! No innocent people need to get killed, not one and all this does is set up the perfect situation to get someone killed and I call BS on this being about Martin and if only he got justice, etc. In your zeal to get 'justice' for Martin you are sanctioning the murder of more people, is that what you really want?

It's surprising how many right-wing haters have come out offering to send the Klan after Spike. Pretty revealing.

Sounds like conservatives want a lynching instead of an election this year.

Huh? Where did they specify their political affiliation? Oh, I see- you're assuming things based on your own (inaccurate) biases. Way to go, "busymonster." Need I remind you that a couple of registered democrats recently beat a gay man near to death? Nah, better not upset your incredible clairvoyance.

As to Spike Lee-- what a douche bag. This is a clear case of cyber-bullying and he ought to own up to the fact that he posted an address, without confirmation, that put innocent bystanders in harms way-- all because he's as big a racist as any. I mean, the facts in the Martin-Zimmerman case aren't even fully public, yet he is so certain that Zimmerman is guilty (based predominantly on the race of the deceased) that he would post an unsubstantiated address for hundreds of thousands of his "followers" to see, obviously in the hope of inciting a violent reaction. How is that not KKK mentality? The colors are reversed, but it's essentially the same hateful bullsh*t.

Spike Lee wasn't the original "tweeter," but he's an idiot for reposting the information. Whoever posted it the first time is the one who should pay this couple's expenses, including any that arise from morons vandalizing the property.

busymonster

We have been reminded repeatedly about racism from the left in the past few years. I am tired of hearing it. The progressive/liberals have nothing good to offer this country so they bash the right with claims of racism. They are going to see just how sick and tired most Americans are of their BS when the shellacking continues in Novemeber.

You observation is wrong. You say this was a racially motivated crime? Please prove it! No observation, just facts please.

punisher - the clan died with the left's big man, Robert Byrd.

Spike Lee.........isn't he the New York Knicks mascot with the funny glasses and hat?

This is getting way out of hand and way beyond the original intent, which, if I understand it correctly, was to seek that Martin's killer was charged with murder. Now there are hits on Zimmerman and the elderly couple are in fear for their lives. This needs to stop NOW. Enough with the racist crap, from both sides of the aisle. You are being used as useful idiots, you are being pawns in a game that is not a game. Will any of you be satisfied or justified if someone is killed? Answer honestly, because I do indeed believe that there are those out there who lust for more blood and if you're not one of that group then it is time to stand up and say enough! The media is stirring the crap with both hands, they need ratings. We, as a people do not need to get caught up in hatred. racial strife or bigotry or demands for 'an eye for an eye.'

We should be better than that, we are better than that and it is time to quit, stop, cease and desist. No more blood, death threats etc.

Busymonster, you have the thinking power of a piece of lint.

Spike will never be prosecuted for anything--he retweeted something and it can never be proved that he had ill-intentions (even though everyone knows what he was hoping for). He's a scumbag and always has been. Not even the balls to come out and apologize.

And how about good old Ray Lewis jumping into the fray? Didn't he kill someone and get away with it? Something like that, as I recall. He should be championing Zimmerman, if anything. Another high profile (criminal, in his case) idiot who thinks people give a damn about his opinion.

I wish the black race would be better behaved

I wish all races were better behaved including mine.

Pretty sure everyone approves of murder to some level. It only takes the right set of circumstances. To say otherwise is naive.

Do I approve of murder? NO

Do I have a right to defend myself? YES

Do you have a right to defend yourself? YES

Could you shoot me dead if I attacked you? Yes

Could I shoot you dead if you attacked me? YES

Would I? YES

Would you? DON"T KNOW

When we see over 90% of one race voting for the person of their own race regardless of qualifications or results, would you call that racism? I would.

Tex - what did lint ever do to you?

Lint-hater!

This Busy Monster: Where is your outrage when it is a black on black crime?!? That happens way more frequently than white on black crime; oh - maybe that's why - you are so used to blacks going against blacks that it's just another day! Where is your outrage when it is a black on white crime?!? Huh - perhaps the same reason.....

Shame on Spike Lee for making such an ill-considered statement.

Inciting a lynch mob is not justice, and as someone who has championed the cause of social justice he should know better.

Vigilantism is wrong. It was wrong when Zimmerman allegedly did it, and it was wrong for Spike Lee to attempt to incite it.

Emanuel-0684 - 1.24-

Meanwhile the actual murderer walks free. Of course Spike Lee is black, so there is a different standard of justice.

Was Lee's tweeting wrong and dangerous or not? Are you suggesting he should be excused from his reckless action because of his race? Or do you think we should overlook Lee's tweeting because it was a response to Zimmerman's actions? If so does that mean you support vigilantism?

Or was this just a diversionary tactic? Trying to change topics and get everybody here to stop paying attention to Spike Lee's wrongful and dangerous tweeting of an address that's carelessly risking other people's safety.

Sorry, it's not working. Try again, and this time try thinking about the repercussions for everybody and not dividing the entire issue into race.

My take on the whole thing: One punk ran down another, got a can of whoop-ass opened on him and shot the kid in self-defense AFTER he started the confrontation.

Murder? If he (Zimmerman) was the aggressor, then yes, murder, even if he was getting his butt whooped.

Justified? No. Trayvon should never have died and Zimmerman needs to be locked up.

Cowboy: Funny, isn't it? Say one negative thing about lint and suddenly everyone thinks you just plain hate lint in general! If it were only that simple . . . oy vey!

If Spike Lee is in the wrong for retweeting inacurate information about George Zimmerman, and should be reported to the Klan and is a race-baiter, etc., etc., then if you repost information about Trayvon Martin that has been proven absolutely false by multiple news sources does that make you just as a doucebaggy race-baiter that needs to be reported to the so-called New Black Panther Party, too. If not, why the double standard?

Also, if racism is caused by people talking about race, when you stop talking about race/racism does the racism of others simply cease? How does not noticing when something is actually racist make the racism of others cease?

When whites say something they observe is reverse racism, are they in fact being racist for noticing something is racist against them, in the same way that whites say blacks are racist because blacks keep noticing examples of racism? If blacks (really most minorities, but blacks in particular) have a long history of having racist things happen to them, is it because they notice racist things are happening to them that they are racist, or are they racist because racist things keep happening to them and the say something about it (as opposed to whites who apparently have racist things happen to them everyday but are too tough to say anything about it, and are therefore not racist).

If blacks have a longer history of experiencing racism against them first hand than do whites, do blacks have a better idea of how racism manifests than whites (because whites have historically been the racists, not the racially-discriminated)? If so, should whites' perception of racism even been considered valid (much like a man who claims to know what reverse sexism is more so than women who have historically experienced more sexism than men, or able-bodied people claiming to know what its like to be discriminated against due to a physical disability more so than those who are handicapped)?

Can whites know racism so much better than blacks, despite having experienced a lot less discrimination as whites than any other "racial" group, that they can perceive with accuracy when someone is truly relating an experience of racism and when someone is merely playing a rhetorical "race card"? Why is it that only blacks play said "race card"? Is it possible for whites to play "the race card"? If so, is it worse when whites play the "race card" since they have historically made the deck, the rules, and have stacked the decks in their own favor? Is there a privilege card? Who deals, and can they play the privilege card?

Is racism an excuse not to try? Was slavery an excuse not to do one's own work? If slavery, chain gangs, and share cropping helped to build this country how come we only laud the Protestant work ethic? Does the Protestant work ethic still count as such a virtue when you also factor in slave labor?

How does the black codes, sunset laws, Jim Crow, Dred Scott, etc all fit into how we currently perceive black criminality? If all these memes trace back to Southern whites' historical fear of slave uprisings then are blacks inherently violent by nature because of these beliefs or are whites inherently skidish, anxious people who are perpetually afraid of comeupance?

Can one speak authoratatively on race without a complete understanding of American History, both good and bad, or if one lacks such a fundemental foundation is one talking completely out one's azz? If so, why should anyone take seriously anyone who decries an act as racist or not without such a background? Which group has historically had a firmer understanding of American racial history, white or black?

What color is your lint?

I love how none of these people calling Spike out and calling him a racist and other nonsense know absolutely nothing about him and are disregarding that fact that he didn't originate the message.

Doesn't matter if he originated the message or not.

He's RESPONSIBLE for his own actions...which were to use his publicity and public platform to get the ADDRESS out to individuals who might take things into their OWN hands.

This couple should SUE and ask for every cent they can get. If any harm befalls them there is always the possibility of a CRIMINAL charge against Spike Lee. Maybe a bit of jail time would be good for him.

That Justine singer should also be sued for that prank(?) he did. Maybe that would awaken those idiots up from their self-induced stupor.

I'm glad you answered that JH. Precisely how I would have answered. People speak out of hate. That's how the world works. Just read everything already posted. So many people know every detail of the situation when no one here has first hand knowledge. Murder=unlawful killing. Was this unlawful? No one has said yet so i guess until it is we'll all get to spew our hate for everyone that looks different than us.

Another question for all you haters out there. Is this a white versus black thing? Isn't Mr. Zimmerman a mix between white and Hispanic? 50/50 if you will. I don't a lot about the KKK (except their not much better than a lot of these posters) but don't they shy away from the whole mixed race thing? If this is the case why the hell are so many people bringing them into the conversation?

Don't confuse my post with anything more than curiosity with Human behaviour and the reaction you see when someone feels like they are mistreated. I really could care less about the outcome of this situation. Why? It really has nothing to do with me. There's one thing I know about this type of situation. This wasn't the first and it won't be the last. Haters will hate. If everyone was the same color they would just find something else to fight about. Just look at much of the Middle East. Oh well. Such are the times i suppose. Enough with my rant.

@Monster

Oh, final question: do you approve of murder, or not? Simple. Yes or no.

You've asked it a few times, and JH answered it, but allow me to as well:

No. Murder requires premeditation and intent.

But do I approve of killing people? Yes, I do. Self defense is a natural right that all creatures on this earth are entitled to in some fashion or another. Killing people, and animals for that matter, in defense of your life and body is perfectly acceptable--I'm reminded of the young 18 y/o mother who shot a home intruder with a shotgun back in January. Fully justified. I also approve of killing people as a proportionate response to abhorrent crimes-- i.e. capital punishment--on the caveat that the burden of proof is so overwhelming that no possibility of innocence exists. These instances are not murder, though a life is taken. You seem to want to broil all death down into a single category-- murder-- but that is completely disingenuous to the nature of human interaction; sometimes killing someone is the best thing for them.

In the case of Martin and Zimmerman, frankly the facts in the case are not clear enough to rule out the possibility that Zimmerman was defending himself at the time of the attack. It is not my place to judge him-- neither is it Spike Lees.

I don't know what these folks are so afraid of. They can just stand their ground.

There is nothing like a lynch mob deciding to take the law into their own hands. Thugs like the New Black Panthers placing a bounty on someones head. To Spike Lee who blames every injustice in this world to racism. Angry mobs fueled by shoddy reporting and the very divisive nature of the country over the past 3.5 years. Washington has espoused class warfare, race warfare, immigrant warfare, religious warfare, political warfare, and now we have mobs ready to lynch someone. Whatever happened to the moral and ethical behavior expected of civilized members of society? How sad, and how pathetic.

Just like Justin Bieber who tweeted all but the last digit of a phone number as his, Spike Lee is going to have to pay for this and he should. The ambulance chasing lawyers are already calling the McClains. Get out your checkbook Spike. This is something you should have never done. Even if it was the real George Zimmerman, Spike would have been sued I am sure.

Why are they afraid for their lives? The only people suffering are African American males and their families. Why would police protect them and not Martin's family from white supremacists and NRA crazies. After all, facts show a life was taken from them not the other way around. Why do the police protect people against "possible" violence from people of color and yet ignore violence against women and children and abortion providers? Better get your priorities straight. You are in the business of "public" safety not just "white male population" safety.

Ana said~Why do the police protect people against "possible" violence from people of color and yet ignore violence against women and children and abortion providers?

What? Where you do you live? I want to make sure I don't visit. Police don't protect woman and children? And abortion providers? I think you're a little confused about what constitutes protection. That or you found yourself a power plug in whatever 3rd world country you're currently in.

Shame on Spike Lee!!!! Down with lint!! Down with lint!!

A I agree that Spike Lee's involvment in this situation completey crossed the lines with his tweet of this poor couples address. So many of the comments in response to this situation show how many racists there still are in this society. Why don't we all just let the FBI and Justice department handle the investigation now and all of us not rush to any harsh words or actions until all the facts come out. So many people just talk out of their ass on these forums. The Black Panther party leader offered a $10,000 reward, not a 1 million for the capture of George Zimmerman dead or alive which is ridiculous to do, but it was not 1 million and not paid by Spike Lee. It's going to take a couple more generations to pass by for the majority of the racists to no longer be significant in society.

Anyone that tweeted that address should be arrested for reckless endangerment. What would have happened if one person through a rock through a window and hit one of these people.

Arrest them all and make them pay hefty fines. Also the equipment used in the offense should be confiscated.

you are either mentally challenged or on drugs.....possibly both

my brother (who lives in Central Florida, by the way) had to defend his life against an eirthteen year old black boy who tried to steal his car and then after had someone shoot a rifle round through his front door when he refused to drop charges

...the little scum is now serving 20 years for attempted first degree murder and his fellow gang members were themselves picked up in a large sweep a year later and were charged with a litany of crimes including murder, extortion, witness intimidation as well as drugs and weapons charges

....."NRA crazies", indeed

Hey Spike Lee, you horses a-, inappropriate. You're a "celebrity". Seriously? This is why things like twitter and facebook have been added to the long list of things things that may and/or will possibly and/or eventually lead to the future and/or continuing downfall of society (select whichever words you feel fit). I would have thought that you (and a larger majority of people on this planet) would at least have a little more common sen...you know what, 2012, MSN comment forum, social media, The World...nevermind...

i keep thinking "WWJD"

and I dont think he would have followed a 17 year old in a hoodie, to the point of scaring the kid into fight or flight...causing jesus to pull his gun.

im thinking jesus would have accepted death, before taking another persons life.

but thats why I like christ, just not his christians.

they care more about "possessions" than LIVES.

MSNBC needs to be held accountable for their horrific reporting on this matter.

First they attempted to portray Treyvon as a typical kid next door and portray Zimmerman as a cold blooded murder. But now that actual facts are coming out about treyvon and Zimmerman instead of accurately reporting on them they choose to call them a smear campaign. The only smear campaign so far has been by MSNBC and to continue to be unapologetic in their actions.

The fact is MSNBC withheld details of the police report, accused the Sanford police of not doing their jobs (which it is now very clear that the police acted correctly in this matter), and dismissed an eye witness to the events. All the while they trumpeted the "connect the dots phone call" that there is no recording of as fact without question, brought forward a "witness" who admits she didn't see the events that occurred but only heard them from inside her house, and crucified a friend of Zimmermans for simply speaking to the quality of his character.

I still think Zimmerman was a fool for following treyvon but my disgust for MSNBC is far greater in the way they have handled the reporting on this case. I'd like to see one of their reporters put into the position of Zimmerman and see how they feel about it.

Check your facts please. They did not say dead or alive. They are not advocating killing him. I do not agree with the New Black Panthers (yes they do have New in their name) using monetary means to put a bounty on Zimmerman's head or their "put our name out there" involvement with this in the first place (a la Al Sharpton...discussion for another time and place...). Considering 1. the high amount of media attention, 2. the outrage that this case has brought forth and 3. the amount of um, we'll say "passionate" people in this country, I do agree with you that it is unnecessary and incredibly reckless for them to put something like that out in the universe.

At the same time, Zimmerman should be arrested and does need to be held accountable for his irresponsible actions as a "gun toting self appointed neighborhood watch officer". I'm not familiar with the gun licensing rules but, how does someone with his police record, showing assault against an officer even, get a conceal and carry permit? Anyone?

You can call this prejudice if you want I call this bad memories. Since once in my life I have walked out to my front porch to get the paper and found myself facing a mounted machine gun manned by a soldier pointed at me. And the soldier telling me to get my butt back in the house. I will not leave my safe little cocoon where my 80% hispanic neighbors run everything very well and I trust them to protect both my rights and my butt. Been there, Done that, Have the T-shirt don't need to do that again.

I just love how people complain that Zimmerman acted as judge/jury/executioner, but yet they do the same thing and say he is guilty and should be dead and other things. And all the facts haven't even been made public yet. Hypocrites, one and all.

I hope this couple sues the hell out of Spike Lee.

I hope this couple sues Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, the Black Panthers and anyone who has the ability to have a camera in their face talking hate.

I hope this couple sues the national media for reporting things that are not factual.

Spike Lee held a fundraiser for President Obama at his home this past January. Lee raised 1.4 million for the Obama campaign, so you can bet the president will have nothing to say about this callous act. Same goes for the New Black Panthers whom were given a pass for voter intimidation by the Obama administration, so what if they are breaking the law once again. Seems like the Obama justice department is only going to prosecute if the defendant is the right color, in there eyes.

Anybody else had enough of this garbage??

Spike Lee... Jessie Jackson... Al Sharpton... New Black Panters All need to shut up... do they not realize they make the rest of us look like complete morons??? Ashamed of my own people

realltdumb

I applaud your wisdom. People like that constantly whine they need special favors because their ancestors once were mistreated then they offer rewards for vigilante style lynch mob action. It is comforting to know some find it as disgraceful as the rest of us do.

Racism is alive and well in the hearts of Spike Lee, Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton and even in our Whitehouse. Shame, so much progress had been made and much of it will be lost as some already has over the last three years. All I suspect to keep Obama in power. I have a question for these folks. If being black is not a reason to keep a person from getting a position, then why should it be a reason for a person to get a position they are not capable of fulfilling?

Hm, have a look.............

I think we’ve all
been “hoodie” winked... It’s the other Trayvon they don’t want you to
know.

he was a street thug, a bully, used & sold
drugs, was attached to a gang...

Bless his heart !

The "Lame" street
media...Playing us like a cheap violin...odd the race thing
is

made a BIG deal on election year !!

Use your own
judgment.

CNN, had his hands full of The New Black Panthers last night. They basically said that they will take justice into their own hands because the street law has voted. They said they do not follow white law.

Spike should never tweeted any address because that is interfering with the law. On one hand the black community wants the law to step up and better represent them, and on the other hand they tell CNN they don't have to follow white laws. Just unreal.

BTW, some years ago, a neighbor accidentally gave our home address when reporting domestic abuse by a neighbor and his wife. It was in the middle of the night when the phone number was given, and thus we were awakened by loud knocking on our front door. So half asleep we answered the door with two police officers with their guns pointed at us demanding to enter and find out what was going on. We were bewildered and scared. After a few minutes they revealed who made the call, which was a neighbor we knew, and called him and found out in his terror he gave the wrong address. The neighbor in question was shooting up the neighborhood on a drunken spree and did try to kill his wife. Awful story and lousy ending - eventually.

In all my years of living, I have had several altercations with police with none of it my fault and as in this case I was treated like dirt. I am white. The neighborhood above was an expensive neighborhood and so I certainly did not get any special treatment for being white, and living with doctors and lawyers. It as the doctor shooting up the neighborhood.

topehtrits, I wish the human race would be better behaved, especially when it come to how they treat their brothers and sisters who have a slightly different skin color.

All blame Zimmerman for what happened.."If HE hadn't followed him..." ZIMMERMAN NEVER LAID A HAND ON THAT KID. So how about, " If Trayvon hadn't punched Zimmerman and bashed his head in the ground and tried to get his gun.........." Now two lives are runined, two families are suffering....

Ahhhhh, the power of mob mentality and social networks. Let someone else do your thinking. I wonder if their is such a thing as a reverse class action lawsuit?

The "New" Black Panther Party has offered a 1 million dollar reward for the capture of Zimmerman, dead or alive. They claim that Spike Lee was one of the contributors that made that substantial offer possible.

I will be the attorney that sues for the million dollars on behalf of my clients, the Zimmermans!! Thanks Spike!

This is disgusting...

Mob mentality, emotionally charged rants, calls for vengeance... are not the hallmark of a civilized society. Justice must be served, whatever that may be, but it must be cold, rational, and blind.

The only person in this entire sorry, tiresome media circus who isn't a fame whore is Zimmerman!

Amazing...this is all so messed up...the parents get on television and, as they have every right, are so freaking angry and disgusted and want justice. Zimmerman is starting to get his rep trashed by everything the media finds, just like they trashed the kid.

Do any of you know any of these people? I don't, so I won't pretend that this is right and that is wrong. I won't pretend that I know all that has happened.

The shooter should have been arrested. If I had done it, I would have been arrested. The same goes for all of you. Apparently, THAT is the fault of the lawyers who took this over. NO ONE knows what happened. It's all according to what the media reports and what the parents say and what people who allegedly witnessed it all say, which, of course is reported by the media.

Yet look what is happening. Black Panthers, who seem to have become the black version of the KKK, are threatening to do something, whether it's illegal or not. They even offered a reward.

People tweeted an address that didn't even belong to this man, in the hopes that someone would be ballsy enough to go there and do something. This, in turn caused a man who is well known enough to spread it even farther, a man who I thought (please correct me here if I am wrong) was all about fairness and equality in society.

WTF?

Don't you see what's happening here? All of this makes these people as bad, if not worse, than the guy who shot this kid. This has turned into a lynch mob mentality. Anyone who falls into this should be ashamed of themselves.

It shouldn't matter what color ANYONE is. Someone shot someone else, and the law should do what's right.

Stop the racist @!$%#...the reverse racist @!$%#...stop the hate mongering. People need to grow up and stop acting like a bunch of grade school brats.

Wait to find out what really happened, and let's just hope no one else gets hurt because someone thinks they're better than someone else.

Spike Lee is racist lowlife pile of monkey sh!t and how about offering a reward for his little black a$$.

This is the kind of panic that the Negro rabble-rousers are working the masses for.To get the white folks scared @!$%#-less, and then come the riots. This will work fine towards Obama's plan for a complete take over of the Unites States. All he has to do is declare martial law, put some high ranking Negroes in charge of the military, and presto he can declare the US a Muslim republic. In case you have not noticed, more the half of the military forces are Negroes. I know this sounds like a fantasy, futuristic plot, but that's what the Negroes have in mind..Somebody once said, those who control the weapons, control the people..

I hope that twitter kept a record of the tweets because that is a law suit waiting to happen. It doesn't matter how great your body of work is or how famous you are. If you start acting irresponsible with the power you wield then it negates all the work you put into your career. Spike Lee is just a D-bag!

Somehow these elderly people have become the only innocents in this tragedy. Spike Lee should be man enough to admit the mistake and pay for the couple's expenses! But according to the news he's not commenting, probably on advice from his lawyers.

To address some here: After reading a bit more, the New Black Panthers did not "officially" offer the Dead or Alive reward of $10K. They officially announced it for Zimmerman's capture and stated that they had posters made with the offer. When asked about it, Muhammad the spokesperson/leader said, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." That doesn't sound like dead or alive????

People at demonstrations also had signs saying Zimmerman - Wanted Dead or Alive - $10,000 Reward. The media outlets have not pursued WHERE these people obtained the signs and posters, if not from the NBP then where????????? There are pictures of people at the demonstration with the signs, so it's not like someone is just making it up. The ADL and Commission on Civil Rights both consider the NBP a hate group, so even the far left distance themselves from this group.

I wouold expect nothing less of Spike Lee. He's been an a@# hole forever. You won't get a sincere apology from him. He absolutly hates whites, and wanted nothing less than the killing of anyone at that address. And don't expect any word from obama. He's just as much to blame for this outbreak. This is what he wanted all along too. Nobody but the authorities know the whole story yet, so what the hel@ is everybody doing. Get a grip on life people. Don't you know when your being used to further someones agenda?

What the hell! Take out all the Zimmermans. Can you really trust them? Can I get an Amen?

MrRighteous, you are a Spike Lee.?.. Who was Spike Lee?

spike lee is another example of a non talented ignoramus radical, not to far from an islamic extremist. Hopefully the fallout and repercussions from his low life antics will cost him in all areas of his undeserving life.

Amen!

spike lee is another example of a non talented ignoramus radical, not to far from an islamic extremist. Hopefully the fallout and repercussions from his low life antics will cost him in all areas of his undeserving life.

Wow, the reich-wing jackbooters must be out in force putting out the talking points on this subject, lol. Not far from an islamic extremist? Do you even know anything about the man or do you just get on here to spout out asinine, ignorant statements and wait for the yokel peanut gallery to give you an amen corner?

It's amazing how the same section of American (or should I say 'mericun?) society who will give zimmerman a pass for murdering a child will call Spike Lee a low life because he re-posted a message sent to him on twitter...

At least Spike had the decency to admit he was wrong and offer a real apology (unlike the reich-wing poster child for drug abuse: lush limbaugh) and delete the comment.

zen;

Do I know anything about him? How old are you 12? Actions speak louder than words and his actions which he chooses to make public have a history of a radical overtones and racist statements - one case in point - he is encouraging some "brothers" to converge on what he thought was Zimmermans home. The reason he apologized is not that he is decent(laugh) he is apologizing because this time his radical, racist mouth was (is) going to cost him.

At least Spike had the decency to admit he was wrong and offer a real apology...

It's good to see Spike Lee try to make it right with the McClains. I applaud that. But unfortunately, he only apologized for tweeting the wrong address; he still needs to make it clear to everyone that he was wrong to tweet any address when it could incite violence in an inflamed situation.

If he wants to have influence, let him take the lead in talking people down and away from any ideas of vigilantism, and focus their attention instead on calmly making sure there is a through and impartial investigation.

Exactly. Nothing like following up some initial totally AFU vigilantism with more half-assed misguided vigilantism.

Yet another example of racism not being solely monopolized by whites. Per capita, there are far more black racists than white racists. Spike is a good example! He also would never apologize for his mistake, because he's not man enough!

He should not apologize he should be prosecuted. What was spike lee's intent he was trying to incite violence and possibly have someone killed.

Spike LEE is a racist scum bag! I think he has committed a crime and should be arrested right away.

COPS DO YOUR JOB! If he is arrested it will make the news and word will get out that the info he twetted was WRONG!

The original problem is still being investigated: now we have riots and looting in Florida, by high school students; people calling for racist groups, of both sides, to enact vigilante justice, (which is NOT justice, in any way, shape or form;) politicians of all stripes creating more problems; and the media aggravating the situation by paying lip service to ALL the hate mongers.

People: Stop, take a few breaths, and THINK. How long does it take to solve a potential criminal offense? Sometimes years. Doesn't mean it will take that long, just that it may. And all these fools spewing hatred and confusion are not making it go any faster.

And by inciting riots, as far as I'm concerned, all these big shots, regardless of who they are, are just as culpable as the original parties in the investigation, and should also be charged, at the very least with interfering with law enforcement in the performance of their duties., and they should also be charged with the felony of "Inciting to riot." Any and all rioters need to be charged as well.

are yet two more examples of dumb people given the right of the 1st.

The first amendment does not allow for the incitement of riot,violence or harm to another person, You had better re read the 1st amendment before calling someone else dumb

FXSTC, I disagree that there are more black racists than white. I DO however feel like there are more blacks that are defensive and to some extent paranoid about what might happen next if we don't stand up for ourselves. I feel strongly that Zimmerman should be in custody, however this tweet went much too far. I'm hopeful that it was not really Spike Lee, it was a disgusting act, whomever perpetrated it! Wrong is wrong and we will never move forward by answering evil with evil.

LostInThePineBarrens, your probably right, so should we arrest everyone on here that is trying to incite riots too?

Good post, BGL.

This country is completely divided and much of that blame falls squarely on the shoulders of our Washington Elite. Obama had no business interjecting himself into this issue, it was a criminal matter that he tried to personalize. Completely out of line for any sitting president.

At the same time Washington has espoused class warfare, racism, partisan politics, and the very liberal mainstream media has been complicit. Look how far this country has fallen, when a bounty can be placed on someones head in public by a radical organization. That happens to be a crime.

Let us not forget the Tawana Brawley case with Al Sharpton and Rev James screaming for justice while inciting racial hatred. But they were wrong when the facts came out. Or how about the Duke lacrosse case, once again Al Sharpton and Rev James inciting racial hatred, and those students were tried and convicted by the media. But once again they were wrong.

So here we go again, and it is both sad and pathetic that people like Al Sharpton, Rev James, Spike Lee and especially the media is too ignorant to learn from their own previous mistakes. This is the very same type of behavior and mentality prevalent in this country prior to the Civil Rights Movement, with the only difference being the color of the lynch mobs.

Pants on the ground, Pants on the ground..walking down the street with my pants on the ground.

Started to rain so I put on my hoodie, and notice someone following me and that's not a goodie.

Tried to run but pants all wet..so I turned around and a Latino I met.

Gave me chit and not a bit..so I slugged his azz with a solid hit

Jumped on his azz like a front door mat..banged his head until its flat

Went to reach for my skittles bag..but Latino said I'm nothin but fag

He took out a heater..and damm I regret..rather be a fag..then having a toe tag.

Unfortunately Mike your rap is just not funny in this situation. It might well end up on a cd to make profit for TRayvons' mom as well. So you'd best run get a patent on it right now.

Every reasonable American in this country needs to immeadiately start writing, calling,e-mailing, stopping by their state representatives to Washington and the Presient as well. We need a campaign stating EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL, AND NO VIGILANTE JUSTICE wanted, excepted by government and the people. Politicians have to be forced to understand that their constituents will not stand for public figures weighing in on any side on this current issue. IT IS NOT THEIR PLACE, THEIR PLACE IS TO LEAD AMERICA NON- VIOLENTLY!!!! They need to also DEMAND that the New black panthers immeadiately cease and desist in any and all rewards or attempts at a citizens arrest for Zimmerman, They have nothing legal to base an arrest on and a child can figure out that its violence, harm and likely the death of this man that they really want. Politicians PUT THE PANTHERS ON NOTICE THAT THEY WILL BE PROSECUTED IF ANY HARM TO ZIMMERMAN OR OTHERS OCURRS!!!!!

FYI-Nobody has actually called the KKK to come harm anyone yet. Most are commenting about the FACT that no WHITE groups are out putting a contract on the panthers or any other black organization over this issue. However, I personaly beleive if blacks start a riot the white supremacists will come out full force. Any of this will be a major tragedy and set this country backs decades. Anybody who gives out addresses suspect or known to be Zimmermans need to go directly to jail, do not pass go and do not collect $200. SAy it this way becasue these people think they are playing a game. Well it's one hell of a dangerous game. Riots start all will come out to play and it will be worse than anything this country has ever seen. STOP IT NOW!!!!!

Why would Spike Lee ever want to learn a fact? He's a creature of Hollywood, and they only reward fiction.

You can't HANDLE the truth!

Could someone please remind me "again" what purpose "twitter" serves?

There is a potential for many lawsuits though I doubt most will be filed in an effort to just "make this go away". This couple, however, probably have lawyers calling them several times a day right now.

The funny thing about the law is that until someone is convicted of a crime, they are not a "murderer" or some of the other things morons are saying around the Internet.

I'm sure a bunch of idiots on a comment section will get away with saying dumb things, but there are news websites and blogs that have been extremely irresponsible.

I'm hungry and feel like grabbing some tacos - anyone care to join me?

TWU - It's not Tuesday.

TWU, what about fried chicken?

and water melon.

Because he seem to only care about justice for black people and doesn't care how it occurrs. He needs to grow up and take accountability for his actions. He needs to apoligize for being any part of that tweet or whatever it's called. HE needs to ante up the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for this old couples expenses and the trouble it's caused. In fact, hey spike break out the bucks and put this couple on a cruise out of harms way!!!!

What they should do is sue whoever provided the education for the people calling for lawsuits against Spike. Are they going to sue all of the people who retweeted the message or just Spike? How about if they just sue all the blacks who retweeted the message and give everyone else a pass? Which would make all of you a happier, more fulfilled mob?

How about if they find the person who originally tweeted the address? It seems to me that person should take the lion's share of the blame for anything that happens to this couple or their property. Spike Lee should do the honorable thing and tweet that he was wrong.

Zenfreedom, that was funny. I wonder how many people would actually understand what you just posted.

No they won't and no spike lee whilst being totally unprofessional, he can not be sued! So many questions and there are no answers. No one knows but, everyone is guessing. Time to just let nature take it course, time to cull the herd!

I know all of this can be frustrating but please. Don't let this deter you from paying your taxes, we need them welfare checks to come in and on time too!

What they should do is sue whoever provided the education for the people calling for lawsuits against Spike. Are they going to sue all of the people who retweeted the message or just Spike? How about if they just sue all the blacks who retweeted the message and give everyone else a pass? Which would make all of you a happier, more fulfilled mob?

Actually a lawsuit can be brought against any who tweeted this message and Spike Lee bears a large responsibility in this, he knows that he has many followers and he knows that his name carrys a lot of influence with them, He did not initiate the tweet but he most certainly contributed to it going viral by retweeting it , As for what color/race any of the tweeters are...Who cares, If they tweeted then the become a defendant to the lawsuit, Twitter also becomes a party to the suit for not monitoring their site adequately and shutting it down when they should have forseen a potential for harm to someone .

That idiot is no ones friend.

Don't put (Mr.) in front of Spike Lee's name. If you do that it gives him presteige in the world society which is more than he deserves after doing what he did by tweeting the wrong address or for that matter tweeting any address for "Zimmerman". It is more appropriate to put "The Racist" in front of his name! (Example: "The Racist Spike Lee")

Spike Lee should be arrested if anything happens to these poor INNOCENT people!

I see all the racist libs are closing down all the comments they don't like!

Let's get the Real George Zimmerman first shall we.

While I don't agree with what Spike Lee did, it was completely irresponsible considering it was inaccurate information and not a way to resolve the problem, some of these comments are crazy. Lock Spike up, arrest him for attempted Murder, etc. It was an error, and thank god these people are safe. Meanwhile Travohn is deceased and it most certainly wasn't an error. Just because we want justice for this young man, it mean's we're racist? I for one am not, and hope this matter is resolved in a non-violent way. Otherwise we're no different than the a** Zimmerman.

Lets first get all the facts and let the Justice system work.

Along with Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson. You know when those two show up on the scene nothing but trouble results.

Hey Spike,

Just make a film about it. That's your world. Leave the real world to people that actually live in it.

I'm sure he's already had work started on a screenplay about this incident for a docudrama movie.. Maybe he'll even do it so fast it can open in October. I'm sure he could spin a tale set to cause more white hate and distrust right beore the election.

Just the ones on the shallow end of the gene pool.

hey pun!

Just the ones on the shallow end of the gene pool.

Exactly! Because we know a majority of them can't swim.

I believe the comment about "way to go Spike" was a sarcastic put-down, not a pat on the back. At least that is what I read into the entire comment.

I think that comment was sarcasm if you read the whole sentence :) like 'way to go a**hole'.

I think Bewildered is bewildered.

Me thinks you are right.

You said that wrong SUDS. "Me thinks yous is right." Gees!

Well the whole durn mess is bewildering!!!!Especially the part of this @!$%# storm that says any one who is not black is white and hispanics are white seperated by shades or some crap! Poster on another story about this said, something to the effect that there are only 3 races and everyone else is a ethnic offshoot. I just want to know is the president black because he appears to be or is he white because he is just is that too?? Or can blacks only be black if the are 100% black.

My oldest son and I were talking abot racism this afternoon. We have an Irish heritage and "our people" have a long history of being enslaved, abused, mistreated both in Ireland and America. Is it time for the revolt of the "wee leprechaun"??? Well..maybe we should've done that on the 17th?!?!?!?!?lol

You haven't even begun to see what is going to happen.

There are a lot of entitled people out there who will claim "Anger" with smiling faces as they rampage through local businesses....

So what is new and different they were behaving exactly like that before this happened; they think they are entitled.

confedkid, if you are referring to them as blacks, you must be black yourself, since your such an expert on them? So why don't you tell us more, do they bleed purple or green?

Sam572410 - So tell me, just HOW do you know Zimmerman is a "murderer" and should be put away - has he been tried and I didn't hear about it?!?!? But I do agree with the rest of your statement!

PUN~

Read Confed's post in it's context. Don't let your hate show so quickly. He is responding to WilliamJenkins post. In Williams post he said 'entitled people'. Thus when confed said 'they' he was referring to said 'entitled people'.

Now tell me if you will, are entitled people' defined by color or race? Oh wait! Maybe it's a mentality. Do us a favor and delete your hate so we aren't wasting our time with your second grade mentality. Then again, maybe the 'entitled people' do bleed purple and green and I'm the idiot. Not likely.

and surefirepython, thanks for the proof. if a second grade mentality is better than those posters, hey i'm all for it. you don't have to read between the lines of what they were implying as far as race goes do you? Oh and I don't hate, but it is fascinating that when I point the riduculous out, you resort to name calling and insults. shows your mentality doesn't it. as much as I don't like the entitlement mentality, it should never be tied to a race. that just shows ignorance.

Pun~ You lost me there with your last statement. You said that the entitlement mentality should never be tied to a race. At least that's what I get from your post. If this is the case, and I agree with it, why did your post earlier automatically tie the word 'they' (as posted by Confed) to people of color?

I'm also a little curious how you define name calling. Your thought process is slightly immature. Does this translate into an insult? Perhaps you view it as such but then that certainly verifies my comment thus making it an observation rather than a name calling.

Don't judge before the jury.

And your comment isn't inciting violence?

so!

and who do you suggest? maybe you can visit him first and set an example.

Love the racist logic here:

1) Guy shoots unarmed black teenager for wearing a hoodie (in other words, for being a black teenager)

2) People get mad. Black people get especially mad, because ... an unarmed black teenager was shot for wearing a hoodie (in other words, for being a black teenager).

3) Racist whites then use the *reaction* to then turn around and call for violent attacks on black people. Oh my gosh, the shooting to death of an unarmed black child by a gun-wielding nut who assumed he was a criminal was bad and all, but DID YOUSEE WHAT SPIKE LEE SAID!!!!!!

Because that's the level of people we're dealing with in this country. All of whom apparently have Internet access and the time to populate every single comment page on every story everywhere.

None of which excuses anyone publishing anyone's address with the thought of directing a mob at them, of course.

And yet when a black teenager is killed by another black teenager for wearing the wrong color hoodie its just another day in the hood, right.

EVERYONE, PLEASE!!! ENOUGH ALREADY! Can we get off the Sharpton-Jackson-SpikeLee-President Obama express train to nowhere!!! None of what any of them have to say, do, don't say or do...will have absolutely no bearing on the matter as it makes it way through the legal process! All it is is fuel for the fire! They, like the rest of us, were not there on the evening in question, therefore we're all a "NON-FACTOR" as it relates to the criminal case.

Too bad that's not at all what happened.

1) Hispanic man gets into a fight with a black man. Both are obviously to blame.

2) Hispanic man shoots the black man after getting decked by him.

3) The only verified witness testifies to the investigators that the black kid got violent first, which means that due to a controversial Florida law there is no legal grounds for charging him.

4) Time passes, no one cares.

5) Some media nut looking for cheap ratings discovered that even though Zimmerman himself and his entire family identify him as Hispanic one of his parents is actually Caucasian.

6) A bunch of opportunists see a chance for political gain.

7) People who have never even heard of the involved parties and certainty didn't witness the crime in question are suddenly outraged at the very idea that a black man could be involved in a violent altercation that resulted in his own death.

8) POTUS throws gasoline on the fire. Because you know global warming might not be enough to keep frost away from the oranges, and who doesn't love oranges?

9) Congress sees a new opportunity to avoid doing their jobs.

10) Spike Lee attempts to assassinate an elderly couple, because he's losing relevance and needs to cash in on this.

11) No Justice can ever be found, since even if the only people who should be investigating this, the state of Florida, manage to assemble credible evidence that's not based on mob justice but rather the law the morons in Washington have ensured that no impartial jury can ever exist.

timetravel100, emanuel-0684, topehtrits, busymonster, ciewywtb, anabanana... Race, Race, Race. Shut Up!!! Racism is rampant on ALL sides!!!! An unarmed boy was killed, after the 911 dispatcher told Mr. Zimmerman not to pursue him, Trayvon was murdered, that's it PERIOD. Spike Lee then forwards tweets endangering peoples lives and insighting vigilantes,if he did indeed do this and it wasn't some fake tweeter. My point is... KKK or the New Black Panthers etc, it's ALL WRONG!!!!

mm209-your post is spot on!!

After the Korean Conflict, my Father, an Army Medic over there, used his GI Bill and Graduated from St. Mary's University in San Antonio, TX, 1965. During his student internship, he joined the Brown Beret, an outspoken group that defended Hispanics from denials of economic opportunity (denial of good paying jobs and intimidation-you do this or, you're fired), at some point, the local media quoted him, and at that time, my Mother was separated from him, working in the day and going to evening Vocational Nursing School and supporting two young boys without Child support because, Welfare was not around until 1967. During that time, it was customary to list one's family name in the City Telephone Book. Even though my Mother and us were innocent and naiive of my Father's actions, AS 5TH GENERATION AMERICANS OF MEXICAN HERITAGE, WE WERE THREATENED ON A DAILY BASIS. WE LIVED IN FEAR OF WHITE PEOPLE NOT KNOWING WHO WAS GOING TO ATTACK US. That elderly 70 year old White couple may not have participated in the prejudiced ostracizing of Minorities but, they still supported the vile white behavior by living in comfort from Minority suffering and benefiting by getting the good jobs that Minorities were denied. So, Karma is kicking their assets for living in fear of blacks? Ha, ha, ha ! No mercy for the merciless. They're getting what they deserve. And for all we know, they may have been Nazi German sympathizers who immigrated here after WWII and still got the good jobs because they were white.

A-ha exactly the racists BS statement of the day!!! This elderly white couple deserves whatever happens to them because somewhere in the past some white people did you wrong?????????g o harm some whites and see waht happens, then Go directly to jail and stay there, you'd deserve it!!!!!! People of the white color don't deserve a comfortabe life if you didn't get one??? Talk about thinking somebody is entitled to something, bud you take the cake!!!! A-ha in this country you have the opportunity to go out and try to get want you want form life, legally, if you fail that's your problem and nobody elses'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe he is 100% guilty of manslaughter at the very least

I agree 100% with your sentiment, EXCEPT... our legal system doesn't define guilt on your belief, 100% or not. Fortunately. Not only should we not lynch this man, but we shouldn't declare his guilt until it is PROVED in a court of law. Declaring his guilt only encourages those who WOULD incite others to violence.

Spike Lee just proved what a lowlife scumbag racist he always is and always will be ....... no surprise here!

I Agree!!!!!

Spike lee im with you if they cant do their job someone else will be glad to do it for them,that murder should be in jail or dead ,dead would be better so my tax dollars wont have to take care of the thug.

beabitch, you gotta be kiddin. you pay taxes...lol

Who ever started the tweet should be charged with committing a "hate crime!"

Good point. There's a lot of bogus tweets floating around there. Either way, Spike Lee should clear things up. And if he did tweet it, he owes these poor elderly folks an apology and should pick up the hotel tab as a gesture of good will.

has anyone comfirmed zims guilt? or has anyone confirmed it was Spike Lee? Let anyone pick any name and say so and so said or did this or that... oooohhhh it must be true! I do not care if you know some one for 30 years, do you really know anything? Yeah keep lying to yourself , whatever makes you feel better. Just make sure you keep up the hate, cause that is what makes the world go around around around. UUUGGGG disgusting.

According to MSNBC, he tweeted an apology to the family - so unfortunately it appears that it was him. DISGRACEFUL!!!! Chumming the waters for further anarchy. SMH!

Mike-535676

This is why Obama has failed - nothing has changed with the Black Community, which was really the only reason to vote for him in the last election.

Geez that is just crazy. Obama (who as a reminder is half white) preached personal responsibility in his campaign very much along the lines of Bill Cosby (go back and read his speeches). He is NOT responsible however for changing the black community. That would be going far beyond the bounds of his job description. He is the President of ALL Americans (whether some of you like it or not). Call him the 'food stamp President" (to quote Gingrich) if you like but that is a result of the economic collapse which all rational economists have suggested will take at least a decade from which to recover. The poor are still poor and that should come as no surprise to those who will never accept any sort of redistribution of wealth.

This case is about the extremes on both sides leaping to conclusions. I heard the Far Right version this morning at my office and it is just as bad as anything I have heard from the extremes on the Left.

The rest of us will hopefully allow justice to take its course and let the investigation play itself out. And accept whatever results may come.

Geez.....I was wondering how long I'd have to read to find out this is Obama's fault!!! Glad we got to the crux of the matter (NOT). FOR SURE Spike Lee (or ANYONE ELSE) is a useless piece of garbage for tweeting something like that. But.....c'mon man.....the "Black Community"??? Gimme a break. When you say "Same as it ever was".....it sounds like YOUR racial attitude.

And Mike-535676 takes the prize for dumbest statement on the thread!

BongoBob,

Have you ever seen Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson come out in the defense of a caucasian? A Latino? An Asian? If you only come to town and speak out when the victim is black, then it is what it is. It doesn't make you a racist when you mention that fact.

hahahaha, Mike you are too much, last time I check Obama was the POTUS not the president of the black community. This is the US we are talking about right? Not some nation in Africa, right?

Pun> This is the US we are talking about right? Not some nation in Africa, right? well I don't know anymore do you? Not that it has changed that much in 31/2 yrs, this has been going on for decades! If this keeps up we'll be getting arrested for our thoughts, oh yeah thats right they are already doing that.

They snuck in the conspiracy laws. Planning might be a little more than a thought, however if I plan to get married and don't go through with it i don't have to get divorced. So it's a very fine lined law! That's all I'm saying. Anyways what about Spike everyone, this guy is not a bad guy and his racism more than likely holds merit.

All racist believe their racism holds merit or other wise they wouldn't be racist! Cull the herd!

Why did Obama fail? uh could it be my (sorry) blondeness comin out? I so do not get your statement of the beginning. mike 535676? So if all vote for you , You going to make it all better? yeah sure... as long as you get your piece of the pie-pipe? Thank you Bongo Bob!

Shouldn't"t this count as a hate crime, or don't those rules apply if your black?

Agree completely, should be investigated as a hate crime. If Mr Lee was white and the principle's changed the FBI would be going after him.

he has gone Linsane in the Membrane
