"Die and go to hell, mother*****er!": Utah Assistant Attorney General's email to city council member who woke him from a nap

A wildly disproportionate response from a government prosecutor with a short temper and poor impulse control issuing thinly veiled mob-mentality threats?

Public servants such as Steven Wuthrich should be held to a higher standard and I’m glad to see some finally are for a change. Whether he wrote it or his office wrote it and he just signed off on it, at least he issued a real apology. Now, since Darin Mano has indicated being open to a personal apology - never directly contact someone you need to apologize to without their permission - that should be Wuthrich’s next step, and Wuthrich deserves increased scrutiny in his role as a public servant going forward.

Clearly he was saying his mantra wrong. /s

Also, while Darin Mano shouldn’t have ignored the sign, an enthusiastic effort to connect with constituents is laudable and I absolutely do have sympathy for him. Politicians who care enough to meet their constituents one-on-one is rare enough as it is. And while Wuthrich shouldn’t be bothered at home if he doesn’t want to, assholes like John in my previous comment who try to make this decision for others, including those who pass municipal ordinances against canvassing, can fuck right the fuck off. I and absolutely NO one else deserve to make that decision for me.
