I hope the warden arranges for prompt mail service at the shooter’s next residence.

6:30 PM is ridiculous.

While resorting to gunplay seems extreme, a citizen really has no legal recourse to improve USPS service.

In any case, the enraged citizen will now have a very precisely timed mail delivery schedule in his new residence.

How did the assailant unarm the postal worker?

This gives new meaning to the term “special delivery.”

Wonder how long it took to come up with the headline.

I was thinking it’s one of those “man bites dog” headlines...

Don’t see why this is news. No one should have to wait until 6:30 pm for their mail.

Editors and reporters who come up with cutesy little pun headlines to describe traumatic events should have their asses kicked.

This is what you call an Italian incentive program. Poorly performing postal people get kneecapped. Great incentive!!

What earthly difference does it make what time of day one gets one’s mail. Somebody needs to get a life.

The shooter was probably upset that his government welfare check was late and he need to buy some crack hours ago.

A postal worker in Chicago was shot in the leg late Tuesday after a resident along his postal route allegedly became angry that he was delivering the mail too late.

But, but, but, but...how could anyone be shot in Chicago? That city has among the strictest gun control laws in the nation, just ask Mayor Dick (Turd) Daley.

Sometimes they switch our mailpeople. We had one that just couldn’t seem to deliver the mail for a solid month. That’s how long it took for the US Post Office to do anything about it; if they did at all. All we got that entire month was junk mail. I had a great time explaining to the bill collectors why my bills had not been paid. LOL

I wonder what this guy would have done if he hadn’t have gotten his mail for a month.

All I get in the mail is junk. Maybe an occasional renewed credit card or stuff from the DMV that cant be sent electronically.

My power company is the only one that doesn’t do online payments. All my other bills are online.

I empty out my mailbox maybe once a month to get my power bill. The mailman probably hates me. 99% goes right in the garbage.

I’ve had the same post man for 15 years, his name is Mike. How many people get to know their post man?

My mail box is at the street and one year it got knocked down, I couldn’t dig a new hole because the ground was frozen, Mike delivered my mail to the door for a month, he didn’t have to, he could have told me I had to pick it up at the post office.

Furthermore, first class postage at 41 cents is a bargain.

I read this to my son. He said, (after that) “He possibly didn’t deliver it.” Not a good way to make sure you get your mail.
