The 'new black panthers' (not associated with the *real* black panthers, and listed by SPLC as a hate group) offered a $10,000 bounty on Zimmerman. Which is funny because they only have 8 members, and the main guy was arrested in the last couple of days, so I bet that $10k is going for bail.

Secondly, Spike Lee tweeted what he thought was Zimmerman's home address, but it turns out to be a nice lady named Elaine.

A school-cafeteria lunch lady and her husband have received hate mail, unwanted visits from reporters and fearful inquiries from neighbors — all because their Sanford-area address is being disseminated on Twitter as belonging to Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman, her son said late Tuesday.

The woman, 70, who has a heart condition, and her husband, 72, have temporarily moved to a hotel to avoid the spotlight and possible danger, said son Chip Humble of Longwood.
