Thomas Gibson (aka Hotch) fired from Criminal Minds

http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/thomas-gibson-criminal-minds-firing-previous-incidents-1201836799/

"The actor was fired by “Criminal Minds” producers ABC Studios and CBS Television Studios following an internal investigation of an on-set fight in which Gibson allegedly kicked writer-producer Virgil Williams during production of an episode that Gibson was directing."

I'm not okay with physical violence and given this was the second time, I'm glad that ABC and CBS made this decision. Still, I'll miss Hotch on the show.

Violence is unacceptable in a creative environment. Gibson already has a history of this, and Virgil is a douchebag. If the story is true that they both went at it, and it was serious enough to fire Gibson over, they should have let Williams go too. Rewarding one bully over another is stupid.
