Filmmaker Spike Lee admitted that it was a mistake for retweeting the address of David and Elaine McClain of Sanford, Florida on Wednesday out to over 250,000 followers last week. Spike Lee thought the elderly couple’s address belonged to George Zimmerman, who shot and killed Trayvon Martin in February. In a tweet Spike Lee wrote:
“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.”
The McClains were forced to flee their house out of fear for their lives and stay at a local hotel. I think Spike should Do the Right Thing, and pay for the McClain’s hotel stay. What do you think?
