United States Postal Service workers who deliver mail on Chicago’s south and west sides are threatening to halt service to select neighborhoods after a mail carrier was shot while on the job in the city’s Burnside neighborhood.
“The 24-year-old woman, who works as a United States Postal Service mail carrier, was shot at 91st Street and Ellis Avenue just after 11:35 a.m. while on the job,” ABC 7 Chicago reported earlier in September. “Chicago Fire Department officials said she was critically hurt after being shot multiple times.”
The mail carrier was not the shooting’s intended target, Chicago police officials said, but her southside route put her in the middle of a neighborhood wracked by gun violence. She is, ABC 7 added, the second mail carrier wounded by gunfire while walking her route: “In March, another Chicago letter carrier was shot while delivering mail in Brighton Park. He was caught in gang crossfire and told ABC7 he feels fortunate he was not more seriously injured from a shot to the back of his head.”
Another postal worker was reportedly shot with a paintball in the same Burnside neighborhood.
The United States Postal Service is offering a $50,000 reward for information on the shooting that leads to an arrest and reminded Chicago residents, in the same notice, that any attack on a mail carrier is a federal offense. The mail carrier, at least report, was still in serious condition at a local hospital.
On Friday, Chicago’s postal workers joined in a protest demanding that the city put a stop to the gun violence — and if they do not, Chicago’s postal workers may stop delivering mail to affected neighborhoods, per CBS 2 Chicago.

The ballot-harvesters can just pick up bales of ballots at their local post office.
It's more efficient that way.
well the democrats will find another way to cheat with ballots, then

And that was written on the front of the building because it fit.
Snow and hurricane rains have stopped the delivery of the mail plenty of times. I know from personal experience that dogs and sketchy gang bangers have stopped the delivery of mail a bunch of times. (I was a mail carrier for three years when I was in school.)
Sounds like a Federal matter.
“...her southside route put her in the middle of a neighborhood wracked by gun violence. “
More electronic billing may be required.
Pony express with Annie Oakley types will work. Will Lori Lightbrains saddle up?
What losers...send a social worker with each and every one of them.
This touches on how we are not allowed to talk about certain aspects of problems with violence.
We are not allowed to talk about the fact that much of this violence is gang related, with members of Youth gangs shooting adversaries over drug deals gone bad and other slights.
And if these gang members are black youth we are certainly not allowed to mention the fact that they are black. We are not allowed to talk about a dysfunctional inner city culture which produces feral youth.
We are not allowed to mention that in shootings, often times innocent people such as this mail carrier are collateral damage of the gangs executing their victims.
“Sounds like a Federal matter.”
Maybe that MAKES it a federal matter, whether or not Groot or Crimesha like it. The whole city is becoming a no-go zone. If you think you can “drive around it”, check out the number of shootings on the expressways, for example, a recent one:
When I would visit my family, I would drive at night to avoid the traffic. Now, I’d drive during the day to avoid the bullets!
Pile it on the corner, will made good tinder.
Each and every time “gun violence” is used in media, push back! The guns aren’t “going off” on their own. So why, I wonder, are the bullets flying? It’s a complete and total mystery...to libs. To normal people of any economic level or color, not so much.
“More electronic billing may be required.”
You can electronically order the groceries, but somebody has to be willing to deliver them.
No worry. democRat Party will be glad to volunteer their years of expertise in delivering the votes.
“Chicago Mail Carriers Threaten To Stop Delivering Mail If City Fails To Control Violence”
Sorry, but thats all the city is good at. Failing to control violence.
Have you tried kicking democrats out of office instead of voting them in?
Then again, that mailperson could’ve been gettin’ sticky with someone’s betrothed. I’m pretty sure that’s happened before.
There’s even gunfire in the area around Wrigley Field now. Chicago is almost a no-go zone.
How to collapse a civilization, put Liberals in charge.
