Yeeaaah that address is WRONG! So where’s the apology? Has Spike issued an apology to these innocent people yet or is he too busy attacking people, amping up racism charges where there isn’t any or out partying? Word has it he was pushing a march but was too busy to show up because he had to go to a basketball game!

No one learned after the Duke Lacrosse scandal and here we go again. These guys are working people up who are high on emotions right now coupled with the Black Panthers throwing gasoline on this fire, first issuing a Wanted Dead or Alive poster which was followed with a bounty on Zimmerman. Now we have two elderly people who are living in fear because of out of control, uninformed people who have ZERO clue as to what happened a month ago.
……….
UPDATE: Spike Lee offers an “apology”.
