The New York Times publishes Darren Wilson’s address information

November 25, 2014

 If this report is true it is very troubling to say the least, regardless of where you stand on the Ferguson Grand Jury decision you have to agree that posting enough personal information on Darrell Wilson to allow those who would do him harm is irresponsible, and it could be deadly. 

  Here is more:

Breitbart News will not link the story or give out the specific information, but the New York Times had no qualms whatsoever about publishing almost all the information needed for Officer Darren Wilson’s enemies to track him and his wife down at home: 

Officer Wilson and [his wife] own a home together on XXXXXXX Lane in XXXXXXXXXX, Mo., a St. Louis suburb about a half-hour drive from Ferguson. 

  And here is even more:

But printing his street name in the nation’s most influential newspaper on the day the grand jury is expected to hand up a decision on the indictment could reignite interest in — and awareness of — the location, and some critics worry that it could result in protesters descending on his home. Slate even went a step further than the Times, publishing an article featuring a photo of the modest, red-brick house on Monday.

A number of Twitter users — some of whom have identified themselves as planning to protest the grand jury decision — have tweeted the location of Wilson’s home as they gear up for rallies. The house number was not printed in the Times, but the street in the St. Louis suburb of Crestwood where it sits is only about two blocks long, and the house number can be easily located via online sources using only the street name and Wilson’s name.

  According to the same article the New York Times has since issued a correction but it has nothing to do with posting his personal address information and all that data remains in the article:

However, the “information that should not have been made public,” in the Times’ view, is not the name of the street where Officer Wilson’s home is located. The story still contains that information. The Times has merely removed the photo of Wilson’s marriage license from the article.

  If anything happens to Darren Wilson or his family the New York Times will have blood on its hands, but then again the end justifies the means  so I guess it will mean mission accomplished.

    Criminal act! Do they want him dead for doing his duty? The NYT will do anything to sell papers, but this is sick!

    Including getting a fresh cup of coffee, it took me less than 5 mins to find the article. It’s real.

    Here’s the cherry on top. The headline is:

    “A Quiet Wedding for Darren Wilson”

    The only thing they don’t explicitly give is the street number. There is more than enough information to find his residence.

    I guess this goes along with publishing the addresses of gun owners. The public be damned, we’re on a mission here!

      Yes Dr. Jeff, all the needed info is there and I can only hope that nothing happens. The agenda is clear and as I stated in the post the end justifies the means…

        You could use the end justifies the means argument to justify wholesale assassination of most (all?) of our political and media leadership. Rarely have so many been so poorly served by so few.

        I’m waiting to see how the political winds blow with the new Republicans in Congress. Sometimes, I actually feel hopeful that we’ll get a significant improvement.

        I also am waiting to see what the new Senate does, if anything. I am not hopeful but I will give them a chance.

    If anything happens to him or his family or property, the person that wrote the article, the editor in chief, and owner of the paper should be brought up on charges….

    Remember that paper in NY that published the address information on gun owners? First they said it was all public info, so they really hadn’t done anything. Then their own information, also from public sources, hit the internet. I kinda liked the way it ended.

    If any thing happens to the cop or anyone around him, I’d hate to have the job of defending the newspaper in court. I can’t imagine any way that they could claim immunity.

      I do remember the gun owners story now that you bring it up. They didn’t think it was so cool when their own information came out did they? I don’t know if they could be held accountable in court if anything happens but I hope we don’t have to find out.

        If I remember correctly, 2 or 3 of the listed addresses were broken into right after they were listed. That’s when they pulled the maps…

    The old West had to deal w/ this sort of scum too (beat the __ out of them, shoot um or hang um). It was only when people got ‘civilized’ did the criminals in high places have ‘protection’. Yep, sickening. But nothing will happen to those behind it … OR … will it … (followed w/ a hopeful laugh of ‘payUp time’).

    What kind of journalists would publish the address? It serves no purpose except for someone to attack and kill officer Wilson AND his wife, and perhaps bystanders. Who is running that paper?
