we're talking about spike lee armies being sued by a couple for tweeting out
the road is not a the story
first before I give you my thoughts on it arm
so this is how went down
arm back in march angry
over that the Trayvon Martin shooting decision
as many of us were arm lied to me that everyone repose
this Jordan there were many I'm George W theramin
arm what was thought to be his address in reality without lead at this time an
elderly couple Elaine and David McLean
who have no ties to george Zimmerman or Trayvon Martin
what then ensued was 100 100 the people showing up to their house
arm in protest the comments worry tweeted thousands of times
and the damage was already done at even after the realized that it was the wrong
address arm to the point where the couple
had to move out of their home because they were
routes going there there are people outside are
and spike we're going to tell you as a as the director is very is prolific
I love spike lee the record my favorite Bible a movie she hates me
she hate me arm and he was he did the open next chapter
and he was like he was interviewed by Oprah this past week
he discussed this and he said 20 per he's like you know tobruk gotta tell you
this was the stupidest decision but I ever made arm
and I hear that and he decided
to see was trying to set all he was trying to settle with the couple for
you know ten thousand dollars and I have a couple is suing him
for another 15,000 in damages legal fees and court costs
the McLean allege that they were still continues this to you to still continue
to receive
death threats and hate mail to you can due to continue 32 easily the original
tweet their
address along with the tweet is still posted online
on many web site for the damage is pretty much Rd been done for them
now this tell me about the power of social media because as prolific oven
director spike is
bike got so caught up because the really really believe that we
arm and it's really sad
but what to tell you would like to listen you've got to first the ball
arm from somebody and we talked was on the show will know if you
not on our show but if you are so for every time I talk about people breaking
the fourth wall separation last week on them Voice know that I received from
some irate
viewers who saw me on Fox News arm and so this is where
for me this is sort of where the rubber meets the road you can you might not
like someone
you when I like someone you when I like the political views might not like what
they've done
but there comes a time bear
there the fourth wall I call it a fourth layer separation
that has to exist so you don't like how the george Zimmerman
I don't like it either but
where i disagree with Spike is no matter what happens
as messed up and I screwed up and as after up
as our justice system is justice
whether he could mean just toss unfortunately
was served against what many believe will many people believed was the truth
and I had everything to do with the prosecution and the fact that though
they did you know they didn't candy tin
conduct this case right this that and the third but the evident
at trial ladies and gentlemen was not substantial enough to convict george
Zimmerman up a crime
the stored there are men in the eyes of the court
is an right I like it might not like him
my like what he stands for he's innocent man with that being said
his privacy should be respected just like acted
just like any celebrities party shares be respected so
with that being said I love bike but here and i think is right be stupid
decision
and %uh there's a position that caused consequences not only for him but for
the Macleans
to be very careful both lol I understand activism understand as well as social me
me that's fine
but dole get support we're invading somebody's personal private space
because then you create a bad situation
there well
