If you click the above link you will see that Spike Lee went ahead and decided to Tweet Zimmerman’s address. The only think is, he was WRONG and an older couple ended getting bombarded with threats and the like.
The thinig is, no one had the right to so publically give out anyone’s address. NO one knows the whole story yet, but people are going to go and send death threats to the man? What if it really ends up being turned around and Treyvon did something wrong… will anyone apologize? Or will we have ruined someones like by jumping to conclusions.
Please do not get me wrong, I do not know what happened that night. What I do know is a kid died and Zimmerman was taken to the police headquarters. While he was there, they decided to let him go. So as of right now he has not been convicted by our JUSTICE system. Yes, the justice system fails people, but we must let it play out because that is how you keep order.
This whole story is nothing but chaos and you want to know what? Spike is not getting in trouble for putting out that address. I am not saying he should go to jail, but maybe a fine or something should be in order. He gave out a personal address of a person who he knew was in a violent media frenzy. That is irresponsible!
I agree with you, there is no justification to release the address of anyone until they have been convicted, what if someone at that home is injured, someone who was not even there. What Then?
The only fact that we know for sure is that a young man is dead, and as far as I have been able to read ect all of the facts concerning the incident have not been made public.
As for Spike Lee and what he has done, he acted in an irresponsible manner, even if the man in question is ultimately convicted, how can Spike Lee or anyone justify putting others in danger?
Knee Jerk reactions are all we seem to have on this issue currently, let us find out what truly happened and punish only those that are guilty.
It was just over the top because people are blinded by their own emotions. It is sad that people will stick up for Spike because they are assuming the man did something out of ill intent. I do not know the thoughts of people or why they do anyting. I can see when something is emotion driven and Spikes actions were emotion driven. Maybe it is time for him to get rid of his Twitter account until he can get a handle on his emotions and actions that stem from them.
It is time for he and others to think before they press send!
