Roseanne Barr Joins Twitter Vigilante Crew; Star tweeted address of George Zimmerman's parents "But while Barr deleted her original posting, the Zimmermans’s address remains in messages in her Twitter stream. Barr’s original tweet was a retweet of a post by a new Twitter user who appears devoted to disseminating the Zimmermans’s address and phone number, as well as contact information for Joseph Oliver, who has made numerous TV appearances in support of Zimmerman, a friend and former coworker.
"Still, the entertainer left open the possibility that she would again circulate the Seminole County address of Zimmerman’s parents. “If Zimmerman isn’t arrested I’ll rt his address again.” She added, “maybe go 2 his house myself.” "
Elderly Couple In Fear Over Spike Lee Tweet "With Twitter and Facebook continuing to explode with posts purporting to contain the address of George Zimmerman, property records and interviews reveal that the home is actually the longtime residence of a married Florida couple, both in their 70s, who have no connection to the man who killed Trayvon Martin and are now living in fear due to erroneous reports about their connection to the shooter."
The original Smoking Gun post showed the entire page, but we chose not to contribute to that. It is out there everywhere, however.
Twitter Hall Of Shame : "UPDATE, 9:40 p.m.: Lee just apologized for his retweet. “I Deeply Apologize To The McClain Family For Retweeting Their Address. It Was A Mistake. Please Leave The McClain’s In Peace. Justice In Court.” But he still has not deleted the tweet with the McClains’ address.
"UPDATE, March 29: Lee “agreed to compensate the McClains for their loss and for the disruption into their lives. He’s taken full responsibility.” "
Quoting WPA Opinion Research:
The initial media coverage of this incident clearly biased the way Americans view the issue. Those who have seen the most information about the incident have the most antagonistic attitudes toward George Zimmerman.
