VA Suicide Mockingwitch Resigned!

Aside from the best part of this article is the resignation of the Mockingwitch (apologies to Hunger Games Mockingjay) this part pretty much sums up what went on.

"The 'elf' email I sent in December 2014 was to an internal staff email group following a clinic holiday lunch party," she said. "I take full responsibility for sending the email; however, the intent of the email and pictures has been misrepresented. My intent was not to mock Veterans; the intent was to thank the team for their work in dealing with tough issues on a daily basis. The elf did not represent a Veteran; it was a toy elf — nothing more."

In other words, she's sorry she got caught.

Paul said the email was taken out of context and was never intended to mock veterans.

The supervisor at Roudebush Veterans Affairs Medical Center who sent an email that appears to mock veteran suicides has resigned.

Robin Paul, who managed the Indianapolis hospital's transitional clinic for returning veterans, submitted her resignation on Tuesday.

"Even though I have had an excellent work history with the VA, my career with the VA is effectively over as a result of this incident and the resulting public and political pressure," she said in a statement provided to The Indianapolis Star through her attorney, Barclay Wong.

Paul said she and her family have been subjected to "harassment and hostility" as a result of the email's publication.

"I received death threats, my minor child was harassed, and we had to seek police protection," she said.

Death threats are not cool and shouldn't have happened. Nothing righteous in them at all. For her part, she should have resigned and cooled tempers right away. After all, VA Suicides Bigger Than 1 Employee with Elf! In the end, she is not ashamed of any of this but blames everyone else for learning about what she did.
