Lee Apologises For Publishing Couple's Address

Hollywood director Spike Lee has issued an apology to an elderly Florida couple after he published their address on the internet in connection with the death of teenager Trayvon Martin.

The moviemaker thought he was retweeting the address of neighbourhood watch volunteer, George Zimmerman, who shot Martin dead in a Florida gated community on 26 February, sparking outrage and protests across the U.S.

However, the address he posted to his Twitter.com page was actually the home of Elaine and David McClain, who have a son named William George Zimmerman - no relation to the Zimmerman involved in the shooting case.

The McClains claim they have been forced to leave their property after receiving threats and Lee has now apologised for wrongly publishing their address online.

In a post on Twitter.com, he writes, "I deeply apologise to the McClain Family for retweeting their address. It was a mistake. please leave the McClain's (sic) in peace."

I hope they sue his ass right into the poor house. Then we won't have to hear about his stupid movies and self-righteous anger anymore.

Irresponsible, and motivated by racial hatred.

Sorry but as a grown adult he's responsible for his own actions. And as a fucking millionaire he should have more then enough resources to vet inflammatory information like this before posting it for everyone to see.

"What's this about someone posting my aunt and uncle's address on the internet?"

[Cat-Scratch]

He gets sued, he'll scream racism and conspiracy against him.

Now if only Michael Moore will make a film on this and how Spike Lee has destroyed this elderly couple's life. "Re-Tweeted - A Story of Pain"

If I had to give up an entire house and live out of some tiny hotel room instead I'd demand more then the hotel bill in reparations.
