Not the same level as daniel musso, but we have a 'premium' anthole on DU elsewhere:
OP (premise): A firearms manufacturer is leaving Connecticut for the gun-friendly state of South Carolina to avoid the tough gun-control law passed in the wake of Newtown school shooting..
1 CT yankee reply to 'oneshooter' (who is otherwise uninvolved):.. They as much as said they don't like it in CT any more. I do not rejoice in anyone losing work But our economy is not as manufacturing based as it once was. Plus, it's not like there is no competition out there in the world for gun making. Look, I didn't close that manufacturing company. It was a management decision, which is not yours or mine to decide.
premium's reply to CY yankee: It was a management decision due to the new gun control laws your lawmakers passed with the approval of the residents, so that would make you, in a sense, responsible for their departure.
CT Yankee reply to premium: Perhaps the Newtown shooting had something to do with their decision. It was shocking to US. We never wanted that to happen again. 20 little kids blown to bits by a gunner with an assault weapon. I know you don't care and don't think about Newtown but we do. It is our state and our responsibility to do what we can to keep that from happening again. It is unseemly that there is more concern here for the workers who are alive than for the kids that are dead, just as it was unseemly for the head of that company to whine about the state of CT being mean to them, in the face of the Newtown horror. Words fail me...
premium to CY Yankee: Ah, throw up the emotional angle and accuse me of caring more for the workers than the children. You can think whatever the fuck you like, I won't even answer that bullshit angle. Have a good day.

Let's just say that my chivalry ain't dead yet (I reported it, only 2 reports I've made).
bains: If they are going to continue to call us Castlebansalot and juries do nothing about it, we should be able to have a name for them. An old movie comes to mind.
Many do, bains; the Syndicate, Comedy of Errors, Paint the Towns Red, Dead for a Dollar, A Texas Funeral; or, the Guns of the DU. (I think 'castlebansalot' within realm of free speech tho.)
