Producer/director Spike Lee has been forced to apologize to an elderly Florida couple after forcing them out of their home after tweeting their address in connection with the Trayvon Martin case.
Lee thought he was retweeting the adress of George Zimmerman, the man who shot Martin dead in a Florida gated community on February 26, sparking outrage and protests across the U.S. However, the address was actually the home of Elaine and David McClain, a Florida couple who have a son named William George Zimmerman, who has no relation to the Zimmerman involved in the shooting case.
The McClain family has been forced to leave their home after receiving threats, and Lee has taken to his Twitter page to apologize.
“I deeply apologize to the McClain Family for retweeting their address. It was a mistake. please leave the McClain’s (sic) in peace.”
Hopefully Elaine and David McClain follow him on Twitter…
