(Via Orlando Sentinel – “Rene”)  The parents of George Zimmerman have sued comedienne Roseanne Barr, saying they fled their Lake Mary home in the middle of the night and have been unable to return because she posted their address on Twitter two years ago.
Robert Zimmerman Sr. and Gladys Zimmerman filed suit Monday in state circuit court, accusing Barr of trying to incite “a lynch mob to descend” and carry out “vigilante justice.”
According to the suit, Barr published their address on Twitter March 29, 2012, a month after their son George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager in Sanford, but before he was arrested.
Their son did not live with them, nor did they have anything to do with the shooting, they point out in the suit.
It alleges that Barr’s Tweets prompted them to flee their home and go into hiding and that they have not been able to return.
They are seeking unspecified damages. They accuse her of intentionally inflicting emotional distress and invading their privacy.
They also allege that she violated Twitter’s terms and conditions, which prohibit the publication of addresses and other confidential information.
After the first tweet, the suit alleges, Barr also followed up with others, including: “If Zimmerman isn’t arrested I’ll rt (re-tweet) his address again — maybe go 2 his house myself.”  (read more)
