vigilante justice team - goldie

And it appears that Roseanne Barr has become the newest member of the celebrity vigilante justice team.  Guilty or innocent - that's for the courts to decide, not people like Roseanne Barr.  There has to be laws to protect these people from this witch hunt and calls for street justice, like the bounty put on George Zimmerman's head from the New Black Panthers.  I hope the parents of George Zimmerman get a good attorney.  This crosses the line.  Scary stuff.  

There is also still the Twitter account @KillZimmerman calling for his death.  How far can you defend freedom of speech before you allow inciting violence? 

Has anyone heard of this story? A 13 year-old white boy from Kansas City, Missouri is recovering from first degree burns after being doused with gasoline and lit on fire.  According to published reports, the young man was walking home from school when two black teenagers attacked him on his way home.  “We were told it’s a hate crime,” the boy’s mother Melissa Coon told KTLA. “They rushed him on the porch as he tried to get the door open. (One of them) poured the gasoline, then flicked the Bic, and said, ‘This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy.’”  The second attacker “produced a large fireball burning the face and hair” of the 13 year-old boy, according to a report from the Kansas City Police Department.

Not many people heard the news story.  Hate is hate - it's not black hate or white hate - it's just ugly.

MARCH 29--The comedian Roseanne Barr last night tweeted the home address of George Zimmerman’s parents to her 110,000-plus Twitter followers, only to delete the posting after “not fully understanding that it was private not public.”

Barr’s posting of the correct Florida address of Robert and Gladys Zimmerman came at the same time Spike Lee was issuing an apology for erroneously disseminating a tweet that purportedly contained the home address of George Zimmerman, who last month killed teenager Trayvon Martin.

The residence cited by Lee is actually the home of an elderly couple with no connection to Zimmerman.

Barr, who deleted her tweet in the face of criticism from some Twitter followers, noted that she first thought it “was good to let ppl know that no one can hide anymore.”  That stance quickly changed, with Barr reporting, “But vigilante-ism is what killed Trayvon. I don’t support that.”

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.”

There is no indication that Zimmerman, who is reportedly in hiding, is holed up in his parents’s residence.

By tweeting the Zimmermans’s address, Barr appears to have violated Twitter rules that state, “You may not publish or post other people's private and confidential information, such as credit card numbers, street address or Social Security/National Identity numbers, without their express authorization and permission.” (3 pages)
