Roseanne Barr Becomes Second Leftist Celebrity to Threaten George Zimmerman's Parents
Formerly relevant comedian Roseanne Barr has become the second leftist entertainment celebrity to threaten the family of George Zimmerman, the accused shooter in the death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin by posting the home address of his parents on Twitter.
While she quickly deleted her tweet after an onslaught of criticism by her 110,000+ followers, Barr continued to defend her action, stating that it "was good to let ppl know that no one can hide anymore." She also threatened to repeat the malicious tweet later: "If Zimmerman isn’t arrested I’ll rt his address again." She added, "maybe go 2 his house myself."
As of this writing, Barr has still refused to say that she had done something wrong by posting the address.
As reported by the Smoking Gun, Barr had forwarded a tweet from a Twitter user who seems to do nothing but disseminate personal information of Zimmerman and people who defend him.
Since the confrontation he had with Martin earlier this month, Zimmerman has gone into hiding. His father has confirmed to the press that the family has received multiple death threats from enraged inviduals upset that his son has not been charged with a crime.
Despite initially defending her thuggish tweet, Barr eventually backed off, saying that "vigilante-ism is what killed Trayvon. I don’t support that."
The former sitcom star did not say why she had bothered to direct readers to the Zimmerman house if that was really an accurate summary of her beliefs but was at great pains in subsequent tweet to state that she was "non-violent." Later, Barr retweeted a message that defended her, claiming that she was talking about protesting at Zimmerman's parents' house, not directing people to commit acts of violence. At this writing, Barr has not directly claimed that was her intention, though.
Barr's indirect threat against Zimmerman's family makes her the second celebrity to indirectly tell malicious fans to harm Zimmerman or his family. Earlier this week, radical filmmaker Spike Lee also retweeted what he believed was the address of Zimmerman's parents but was actually the home of an elderly couple unrelated to him. Since his message, the couple have feared for their lives and have reported receiving suspicious mail from strangers.
Lee also deleted the malicious tweet and later said he was wrong to have sent out the address of the couple. He did not, however, apologize to the Zimmerman family:
"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"
Since that time, Lee has not made any additional tweets. After an online firestorm about his comments broke out, Lee has reached a settlement with the couple to stave off a potential lawsuit after they were forced out of their home following his tweeting of their address.
Legacy media journalists are, for the most part, ignoring both Barr and Lee's threats, MSNBC anchor Chris Jansing has tried to spin Lee's tweet as merely a "Twitter error," not speaking at all about his malicious intentions.
Both Lee and Barr are guilty of violating the Twitter terms of service which clearly state that posting the addresses of other individuals is prohibited. Don't count on either has-been getting banned for their infraction..

This is the behaviour one should expect when a "community organizer" is elected to the highest position in this country. In our country we have something called -- The Criminal Justice System -- it may take a while and the outcome of Zimmerman's trial (if it comes to that) may or may not be what we expect. If , as people we no longer abide by our Constitution and its laws, then we might as well start comparing ourselves and behaviour to countries where people are stoned, imprisoned, killed and considered guilty without a trial. Liberals are behaving worst than rabid animals looking for a kill!

With the New Black Panther Party's declaration of a $10,000 bounty on the head of George Zimmerman dead-or-alive, Barr's action is the equivalent of telling an arsonist where to place the match.
If anything untoward should befall the Zimmerman family, I hope she is charged as an accomplice.

Whitewashing Trayvon Martin

The Whitewashing of Trayvon Martin
Aesop’s shepherd boy cried wolf so often that villagers didn’t believe him when a very hungry wolf was really stalking his flock and the wolf ate all the sheep. Morals: Don’t lie and, when you do, you shouldn’t expect anyone to believe you when you finally tell the truth.
(See “The Trayvon Martin Bonfire,” http://bit.ly/H28Eaf, and “America’s One-Sided Race Card,” http://bit.ly/HnQeQC.)
Those morals should be studied by blacks agitating for the condemnation and execution of George Zimmerman for killing Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida on February 26th, 2012.
Since the case went national, we have witnessed an almost unprecedented upheaval attended by astounding lies and distortions from black leaders. Not since Rodney King was portrayed as an innocent and large areas of Los Angeles were burned to the ground in 1992 have we seen such an outpouring of organized venom and mischaracterizations designed to instigate public discord.
Any untimely death is a tragedy and the death of a young man is especially tragic. However, the circus atmosphere created by professional race-baiters, by the media, and by Martin’s parents in the wake of the shooting is a shameful disgrace which only serves to needlessly stir up racial animosity and demean Trayvon’s memory.
Contrary to initial knee-jerk media coverage but according to the Sanford Police Department’s “Incident Report,” Zimmerman, a part-hispanic, registered Democrat, shot and killed Martin after the muscular, six-foot two inch Martin ambushed the overweight neighborhood watchman and pummeled him while he was merely doing his job watching the gated neighborhood in Sanford.
There can be no reasonable doubt as to Zimmerman’s injuries. Police first attempted to resuscitate Martin and then administered first aid to Zimmerman who was bleeding from his nose and head, and a laceration is visible on the back of his head in a survellance video shot at the police station.
Statements were taken from six people who witnessed the attack in whole or part.
See the Sanford Police Department report here http://thedc.com/GUFFpi.
That neighborhood will never be the same, not because of Zimmerman’s self-defensive actions but because Trayvon Martin has become a cause célèbre for fomentors of black rage, a dead but potent tool to stir up racial strife, the bread and butter for such people as Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, and the New Black Panther Party.
As they continue to arouse racial passions in black communities and as mostly-black high school and college students throughout the country stage misguided protests . . .

"maybe go 2 his house myself"
The only way this woman would go all the way to Sanford Florida is if Zimmerman's house had a KFC built within it.
The following is my tolerant view of this woman. Keep in mind that I am defining tolerance by the barr that she has set. This lard-encrusted ignoramus can't even spell the word "to" and yet she believes her tiny little brain is developed enough to make important statements on big issues. I for one cannot wait for the day her deep-fried heart explodes inside her chest. Wow, even that wasn't has hateful as Bloatsanne Barr when she's asleep!
