Marion Barry‘s death was announced yesterday morning and while many honored the life lost, it seems TMZ thought it would be a good idea to make a joke of his death.
Barry passed away during the morning hours of November 24, 2014 and When the popular gossip site announced his death, they posted a controversial headline, which reads: “Marion Barry — Crack Mayor Dead At 78.”
Many took offense to the statement, referring to it as disrespectful and crass and hit the net to demand that TMZ change the offensive headline.
