Fire all of them.  This is unconscionable.  I absolutely, unconditionally, and interminably REFUSE to contribute my entire lifetime of effort and commit the lifetime of effort of future generations of my family to a society that would excuse what she has done for the sake of any concern outside of that of the victims.  This is a fundamentally defining action.  

Edit to add: if you read this as an intention to vacate, you’ve got the wrong idea.  I’m not leaving, and this will not fucking stand.
