They're being lampooned for publishing this (still in the article):

"Officer Wilson and Officer Spradling own a home together on Manda Lane in Crestwood, Mo., a St. Louis suburb about a half-hour drive from Ferguson."

And a photo of the house which has since been removed. They did not publish the street number and it wasn't visible in the photo. Honestly, I don't know why people are getting their knickers in a twist now over information that is public record and has been tossed around in the media for three months. Salon, Bloomberg, Washington Post, NBC, CBS, CNN, Daily Mail, Call (local to Ferguson), Ferguson Local Channel 5 (KSDK)...the list goes on...have all published or showed video footage of the same information since August. Only the local media revealed the full address and that was back in August.

Just Google Map'd Manda Ln. It's an extremely small street that you wouldn't need a house number to find someone on. I dont care when it was published, who published it, or how many "news" outlets published it, it was friggin wrong and that's the bottom line. Sure, it may be public record. But why make it easier for them?
 
If anything happens to Wilson, or his home, he should own the NYT....

What if some dumbass goes to Manda Lane and burns down the wrong house, or ambushes the wrong person walking out to get the morning paper?

How can you possibly NOT see anything wrong with this idiotic move?

Personally, I think someone at NYT needs to go to jail.

Someone at the NYT should go to jail, if anything happens to Wilson, or his home.

On the bright side, none of the idiots that are rioting read the NYT, IMO.

I remember when the NY Times had some class and was "the paper" to read. Now it's become The National Enquirer without the color pictures of the 2 headed babies.

I see something wrong with singling out the NYT especially since they weren't the first or the last media outlet to do it or the worst offender. Why don't you pounce on the local station which gave its viewers a video tour of the neighborhood including a nice close up shot of the house and number? Or is this really just about a grudge with the NYT?

For publishing information that was already publicly available to anyone who wanted it? I don't think so.

The NYT did it twice!

Thr clowns that would burn Wilson's house down are too stupid to find that information on their own.

Cheap, disgusting, and too graphic to have been posted without a caution.

Yup, the bastion of hatchet journalism - if it bleeds, it leads.

Napoleon, will you even recognize the wrong if Officer Wilson, or his family is hurt as a result of this kind of crap? My guess is no.
