It is a real shame that the condition of the United States has deteriorated to the point now that Letter Carriers (postman) are not safe any more.

The big blue boxes in my neighborhood out side at the Post Office have been removed. You now must go inside to mail a letter.

The closest box where I work in Houston is not safe anymore to put mail in.

These were federal crimes and in the old days criminals were afraid of the Feds.

I guess they are too busy chasing after insurrectionists.

The words of Colonel Jeff Cooper keep ringing out, talking about the criminals not being afraid of the police, so the criminals must be made to fear their potential victims.

The source said they believe the postal service’s problems are even more significant and widespread than the agency is letting on.

“They’re reluctant to tell the truth to keep consumers buying stamps and keep citizens from using other means of delivery” like UPS or FedEx.

Not good. Too bad the FBI is too busy stealing elections to do something about it.

Yep, and now the "potential victims" are disarmed, or if they are disarmed, they're not allowed to defend themselves, so the criminals end up fearing nothing.

They stole the entire outside drop box from the Hewitt, TX site. It will not be replaced.
