The media should be ashamed of themselves after whipping half the nation into a frenzy over Trayvon Martin’s death. Most of them didn’t even report the facts and some gave entire columns over to demonizing George Zimmerman.
Obama, the race baiter, should be ashamed for identifying with a little thug just because he was black.
Americans who read the sketchy reports and instead of letting the police and courts do their job, chose to follow lunatics like Al Sharpton and call for the arrest and death of Zimmerman… you should be ashamed. There are reasons why Zimmerman wasn’t arrested and it’s called witnesses.
But the Shame Award of the Year goes to Marcus Davonne Higgins, who published what he thought was Zimmerman’s home address in Sanford to the internet and even held up signs with the information at protest rallys. He tweeted the information to black celebrities with instructions to retweet…. and they did.
Only… that house belongs to an elderly couple who now fear for their lives.
The mass dissemination of the address on Edgewater Circle in Sanford–the Florida city where Martin was shot to death last month–took flight last Friday when director Spike Lee retweeted a tweet containing Zimmerman’s purported address to his 240,000 followers.
The original tweet was sent to Lee (and numerous other celebrities like Will Smith, 50 Cent, and LeBron James) last Friday afternoon by Marcus Davonne Higgins, a 33-year-old Los Angeles man who uses the online handle “maccapone.” Higgins included the direction, “EVERYBODY REPOST THIS.”
Higgins, pictured at right, first began disseminating the Sanford address to his Twitter followers last Wednesday, including the claim that Zimmerman “Like the fat punk he is, he still lives at home with mommie & daddy.” In a simultaneous post to his Facebook wall, Higgins told his 4000 friends, “FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT & TOUCH HIM.” He also claimed in another post that, “REAL TALK MY PEOPLE OUT THERE IN FLORIDA JUST TOLD ME GEORGE ZIMMERMAN IS NOT AT HIS HOUSE THEY OUT THERE RIGHT NOW.”
Higgins’s dissemination of Zimmerman’s purported Edgewater Circle address was not, however, limited to cyberspace. At a protest rally last Thursday in an L.A. park near his Crenshaw home, Higgins held a sign containing Zimmerman’s name, address, and phone number.
Except, of course, none were accurate.
The man who shot Martin is George Michael Zimmerman. Higgins has repeatedly identified him as “George W. Zimmerman.”
The residence on Edgewater Circle is actually the home of David McClain, 72, and his wife Elaine, 70. The McClains, both of whom work for the Seminole County school system, have lived in the 1310-square-foot lakefront home for about a decade, records show.
You clueless, classless sons of bitches should be ashamed of yourselves. And if anything happens to the McClain family because of a bunch of small minded jackasses who think they’re better than the law, you should all be tried as accessories.
The Daily Caller has the police report. Read it for yourself.
