Yeah but think of it this way. They don’t have to put up with cops running around chasing criminals all over the place.

It’s a small price to pay for no more mean tweets

What are the odds that 90%+ of these assaults and robberies are being perpetrated by the 13%ers?

The crime has become rampant. Once soccer moms start having their handbags ripped off them at the mall they may start paying attention to their votes for Dem candidates who support high crime.

Do the people that attack these mail carriers get prosecuted in state or Fed court?

I would guess that as they are attacking a federal employee, that the fed courts would have jurisdiction?

Do the fed judges let these perps off with no bail too?

Stepping in human feces is a crime now?

Almost like they should start prosecuting criminals and jailing them, huh?

The post office has the authority to stop delivering mail if a situation is dangerous.

USPS stops deliveries to California neighborhood after repeated attacks on mail carriers: Report.

However, the above story concerns a very white neighborhood, the "danger" caused by only one individual.

The big questions, will the post office be consistent and stop deliveries to all dangerous neighborhoods? If so, can you hear the screams of racism?

If they don’t deliver mail to the dangerous neighborhoods how will the folks in Oakland get their welfare checks?

Steve, do you remember awhile back in Seattle that USPS refused to deliver in some areas because of robberies and harassment of postal workers? (You know which zip codes I'm talking about, all around MLK Jr Blvd).

Outraged ensued, racism was charged and then the postal workers went back into these areas, presumably with security.

Getting fake emails from them, too. You have a package with a faulty address, click here to claim it. SCAM.

Doubtful this will cost the politicians responsible for this mess many votes.

The vast majority of San Franciscans will blame Trump in particular, Republicans in general, racism, and climate change for their woes and continue the same voting patterns.

This is true is most large U.S. cities and has put this country in a perpetual nosedive.

2024 is our last chance to avoid a total crash and burn landing.

Checks? It ain’t 1985.

They don’t mail “welfare” checks any longer. In fact, that’s probably one reason letter carriers are now legitimate targets, as it were. In the days of yore, the locals took a dim view of killing the mailman, because he was the one that delivered those “benefits”.

Easy. Put the users in boot camp. Put the dealers in the ground. Transport all the illegals who are not one of the above to the nearest border and toss them over the line. Poof 90 percent of crime gone.

I see a lot of videos of this on that app Tik tok which they want to ban. Gee I wonder why. UPS trucks getting robbed, letter carriers robbed, Fedex vans robbed.
