Here's another little tidbit--the movie director Spike Lee, in an effort to utilize social media and stir up a few flames, created a tweet disclosing the home address of George Zimmerman and sent it out to his many friends. Silly Spike. He gave out THE WRONG ADDRESS--and an elderly couple, who, I presume, had zero to do with the shooting or the characters involved, found themselves the unwitting target of the angry mobs. The old folks, who suddenly were stunned to find themselves neck-deep in this ugly controversy, had to abandon their home and go stay in a motel. They were interviewed by a local reporter at their undisclosed motel room last night ( by one of the Orlando stations, as it happened) and it was evident that they were really scared by this happening to them and they feared returning to their home.
What motivated Mr Lee to inject such fear into this neighborhood and upon these people? Was he merely sharing some information or did his action have deeper meaning? Where did he find this ( incorrect) information, and can he or his sources now be trusted to have any credibility? Why has he decided to inject himself into the Zimmerman/ Martin incident? He doesn't live in Orlando, nor, I assume, does he know any of the people involved. I think he lives in New York, right?
He has since done a re-tweet, apologizing for his rush to judgement and advising his followers to avoid the home of the old folks. Classy move, Spike. You may have just dodged a lawsuit.

Recently, like during my last few visits to "WNY", I decided to shed my lassitude about the Z/M situation and pay closer attention. I'm on the cusp of interest, de-bored and forming some opinions, and I plan to watch every news blurb about the case that I'm capable of. I also plan to use fewer metaphors and to type a little slower, so anyone can clearly understand what I write.

--Would it be inappropriate to disclose Spike Lee's home address at this time?
Just wondering...
