Film director Spike Lee isn’t apologizing for re-posting George Zimmerman’s purported address on Twitter, with his production company only telling Fox News they have “no comment” on the matter.
According to Fox Nation, Lee’s 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks company issued the “no comment” to Jesse Watters of “The O’Reilly Factor.”
As The Blaze previously reported, Lee retweeted two messages claiming to be the address of the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. The messages were quickly re-posted all over Twitter, some with threatening messages directed at Zimmerman, including “#Dead“ and ”Let’s turn up the heat on his b-tch ass.”
It later emerged that the address Lee posted was not in fact Zimmerman’s residence, but the home of an elderly couple now fearful for their safety. According to the Orlando Sentinel, the couple have temporarily moved into a hotel to escape the hate mail they’re now receiving, as well as any possible danger.
The messages were still visible on Lee’s Twitter account Wednesday afternoon, five days after they first appeared. Lee — who has more than 240,000 followers — has since written and re-posted dozens of messages about Martin, but none that appear to retract or apologize for the address tweets.
Along with re-posting numerous pictures of Twitter users wearing hoodies in Martin’s honor, Lee has also taken to retweeting vulgar, racist messages directed at him:
“People,The Thinking Behind Me Retweeting These Insane Racist Rants Is Because This Sickness Must Be Exposed.USA Post Racial Society?????????” Lee tweeted about the messages.

Posted on March 30, 2012 at 10:44amAmen! She should pay for the new house, the move and anything else that comes up. It was reckless of him to post or tweet this. Take him to court and sue the hell out of him. Make an example of this. Stay out of things you have no clue about. Same goes for Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson. After it is over and it is proven that Zimmerman is not guilty, sue everybody for defamation.

Posted on March 29, 2012 at 1:50pmBecause Twitter thrives due to this kind of crap they don’t have toe moral power to step above the fray and condemn this act of hatred for what it is. Spike Lee is an ass plain and simple and worse hides behind the “No Comment” like it is a shield protecting him from having to admit he made the wrong move. Like most people like him they do whatever it takes to escape responsibility and consequences for their own actions. What should be Obvious is Lee will not learn from this incident either and he will be there at the next skin color issue that pops up shouting to the world again he is just an ignorant, racist piece of crap.

Thank you.
I hope that is the correct address. When I heard about the shortest racist in the country doing what he did, I was hoping someone would post his address for everyone in the country to see.
Let’s see what other personal information America needs to know about this guy.
Favorite restaurant?
Favorite Bar?
Favorite Coffee Shop?
Favorite Kids Clothing Store?
Favorite place to hang out and watch the New York Knicks. Oh! Oh!, I know this one. Madison Square Gardens, front row, next to the home team bench.
Hope that helps.
The important thing about being a celebrity is to know when, not to step over the line.

If blacks can’t hold up racism to show victimhood, they’ll create it themselves.

Report Post »No, just that Spike Lee, whose money would make him the most attractive target for a potential lawsuit, is not legally responsible. You can always track this false information back to the first person to post it, but if it turns out to be just a kid or an obvious nut, you can’t get blood from a stone, and it will be hard to point at one person in the chain of subsequent postings as more responsible than the others for not knowing any better.
