The Miami Herald finally listened and Leonard Pitts is no longer employed by the paper. It feels surreal to know we successfully held them accountable for that shameful column. Keep your eyes open because we never want to see that kind of disrespect for victims repeated again.

Seeing this momentum grow confirms that I am not alone in my outrage over the way these tragic victims were dismissed. The refusal to accept this double standard is exactly why I started this fight.

I have been sending these signatures directly to the editors at the Miami Herald every single day. The silence from their office is loud but it only proves why we need to keep pushing for accountability.

We are grinding toward that first hundred signatures and the momentum is building. I need everyone who feels the sting of this injustice to push this link out to their networks right now so we can force the Miami Herald to acknowledge our demand.

He needs to go. The double standard is obvious to anyone with half a brain. McClatchy needs to wake up.
Sickening. He has zero respect for the victims and their families. Fire him already.
This guy is a hack and his views are toxic. The Herald should be ashamed to keep him on the payroll. Bye bye leonard.
Absolutely disgusting column. How does he still have a job writing trash like this? Get rid of him.
TOTAL GARBAGE. Stop paying this person to spread hate!

Finally someone doing something about this. He is so biased and hateful it makes me sick to read his stuff.
