There are laws and twitter policies against this sort of thing:
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.
—
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.”
And do what, screech the National Anthem at them? Threaten another attempt at an awful sitcom?
Notice that line about Joseph Oliver? The only thing he has done is try to cool heads in what is fast becoming the second O. J. fiasco. But twitter seems be content to allow Oliver to come under threat too.
Twitter has a responsibility to crack down on the use of its service to commit cyber bullying and cyber stalking. Why aren’t they taking action?
Why doesn’t Roseann Barr twitter her own addresses, so that those who are among the 99% can picket her houses in protest of the rich?
Are you seriously asking why they arent taking action?
(Roseanne) added, “maybe I’ll go 2 his house myself.”
Why? To raid the fridge?
– about Zimmerman than we do about Obama.
I do understand our DoJ is incompetent and complicit and that they want violence to break out in order to beat up on Florida – But how in the heck are they getting by at least not hinting that they might be forced to file federal charges against Lee, Barr, Black Panthers and Twitter.
She certainly is a despicable person isn’t she? I hope that Zimmerman can then sue her fat you-know-what. At this point would Mr. Zimmerman be able to get a fair trial anywhere thanks to the idiots in the entertainment industry.
Let’s say Zimmerman is convicted–Won’t an appeals court have to take into account the chilling effect of Barr’s comments, Lee’s actions, the Sanford City Council vote of no-confidence in the police chief, and so on when it determines whether or not Zimmerman was able to receive a fair trial–in particular whether or not his abilities to call witnesses on his behalf was chilled, and whether or not a jury felt free from coercion?
All that you cite pretty much guarantees a change of venue, if Zimmerman stands trial.
Somewhat tongue in cheek—Change of venue to where? Australia? I mean, for Pete’s sake, the President of the United States didn’t mind chiming in, did he? Last time I checked, he had 52% of the vote in the last election. Which means some people might vote to convict just to insure the Democratic party does not take a political hit…
I forgot to add–change of venue does not change the fact that everyone now pretty much knows (or should know) that when either charges are not made, the grand jury does not indict, or the jury acquits that there is more than likely going to be a large and substantial element that will not accept such decisions, and will do so both very vocally, and as repeated actions by the left have shown (Limbaugh, climate change, tweets of addresses in this case, including those of potential character witnesses, bounties by New Black Panthers) that they might have this thing about wrecking folks socially if they can. I would submit that this is, well, it’s what they call a “chilling effect”, yes? On witnesses, jurors, everyone.
Personally, I’ve had enough. No group on America should have some kind of “veto power” merely because they are members of a group, or because of past group history (fortunate or unfortunate)–but if one has to have such kind if moral authority, the absolutely last group that should have it is the black activist one, because I think it has been shown they cannot and will not use responsibly. Everything they have always railed against as far as injustice being done in high-profile cases they are doing right now. Enough with political correctness. I’ve had it. Pardon the phrase, but black people’s shit stinks too, and it is about time it got pointed out.
Further–since 9/11, the left has been on the lookout for “backlashes” and pogroms against Muslim-Americans; atmospheres where a suspect has no chance of avoiding some kind of penalty due to mob action and hysteria, mainly due to his race.
And the blunt fact is that the only thing that has come remotely close to that in the last decade is this current affair–and it is exactly what they thought the right would do, in every way, shape, and form. The only thing left for them to do is to storm the jail when Zimmerman is arrested and hang him from a tree, ala Leo Frank.
These people have zero control over themselves. Zero. Zero integrity, zero restraint, zero anything except a feeling of righteousness. Of which they have a surfeit.
The left always decries vigilante justice. They much prefer mob justice.
