Spike Lee settles for retweeting wrong address

The McClain's son is named William Zimmerman

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — An elderly couple who reported being forced to leave their Florida home when a Twitter posting that Spike Lee helped spread listed their address as that of the man who shot an unarmed teen has settled with the director.
The couple's attorney, Matt Morgan, announced the settlement Thursday. Morgan says Lee called them to apologize fo retweeting their address. Details of the settlement weren't disclosed.
Elaine and David McClain are in their 70s and say they have a son named William George Zimmerman, who lived in their Sanford area home in the mid-1990s. They say he is no relation to 28-year-old George Zimmerman, who killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26.
The killing touched off protests around the country because Zimmerman was not arrested. He says he acted in self-defense.

Spike Lee, sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. Do you really think it's wise to post anyone's address like that? Glad to see he fucked up and had to pay.

May have been a stunt to get publicity for Spike and persuade the family to release rights. Who wouldn't want to ride the coat tails of a story as intense as this....

It was stupid to even put out the address, what if someone had been killed? Is that how it is now, rush to judgement, post addresses and go kill someone in retailiation? Great, since when have two wrongs made a right?
