I didn’t report it; I thought generally statements that so-and-so deserved to be harmed or killed were a-ok in the rules so long as the target wasn’t a board member. ---

The oh so polite and reasoned Hurricane Shitka has decided to tie his argument for arming teachers to the fact that Utah allows teachers to carry weapons in school and they have never had a school shooting fatality. [https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=849352&page=9](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=849352&page=9) So his solution is that all the other states should follow Utah’s model. But I fact checked the asshole. He’s right about Utah. But he neglected to mention that almost half other states have never had a school shooting fatality, excepting suicides. And one of the suicides happened in Utah. [https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20811331&postcount=440](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20811331&postcount=440) And when you go through the list of fatalities and eliminate single fatality “grudge” shootings, shootings between adult faculty, after hours parking lot incidents and things like the time a 6 year old accidently shot and killed a classmate - the list goes up to MOST of the states. Most states have never had a multiple fatality shooting incident inside the building during school hours. But this butthole wanks on and on and on about how Utah is doing it right and we all must imitate Utah. If Utah really did have an exemplary record, it might be because most of the states population in is thrall to a cult religion that encourages incest and inbreeding and therefore their entire population is too inbred and retarded to shoot straight. Its easier to back up than his theory. ---

Utah is full of right-wing people who think like **Hurricane**. “Despicable right-wingers Good; Libtards Bad.” For **Hurricane** the “thinking” gets no deeper than that. I tried to engage him respectfully, thinking he might be sincere and sentient. But he is not. If he is sincere, then he is very very stupid. If he’s of average intelligence or better, then he’s some sort of troll, thinking that the kleptocrats will give him some bread crumbs as reward if he pushes their filthy politics. I don’t know why Dopers bother with him. Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter are paid to offer up despicable opinions and offer much better recreational-outrage per minute-wasted ratios than **HurricaneDitka** could ever aspire to. ---

Resurrecting this thread on account of this OP: > [@February jobs report](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/february-jobs-report/810310/1): > > The February jobs report was very good, showing [the economy added 313,000 jobs](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/09/upshot/jobs-report-economy-sweet-spot.html). This is the sort of news that I’m sure is met with delight in the White House (and I suspect with dismay by more than a few Dopers). Just because conservatism has turned into ‘screw the liberals and Dems, even if it screws America too’ doesn’t mean we’re your fucking mirror image, **HD**. We’re quite the reverse of you. We know that Obamacare basically screwed us politically in 2010, 2014, and 2016. And you know what? _It was worth it, because it made America better_, it meant that tens of millions of people could get insured, and tens of millions more didn’t have to worry about their health insurance being rendered meaningless by a ‘pre-existing condition.’ So take that fucking attitude and stick it where the sun don’t shine. For us on the left, it’s not about whether we win or lose, it’s about whether the people of this nation and the world win or lose. ---

With just about every post, it’s more and more clear to me that **HurricaneDitka** values pissing off liberals much more than normal human decency, like not carrying water for someone who bragged about violating the consent of teenage girls. I got a mod note for snark suggesting the same in his latest Elections thread, so I’ll confine my criticism to this one. ---

Engaging with someone who presents, at best, a facsimile or someone arguing in good faith is not my idea of a fun time, but I also don’t understand why people indulge the “woe is me” and “o hai guys what should I do” trolls, or voluntarily go swimming in icy water, or eat Tide pods, or pursue any number of other unpleasant and/or pointless activities. ---
