  1. Postal workers need to be given the ability to conceal carry at minimum so they can protect their own lives

  2. can they put some sort of micro sim in parcels so we can detect em?

  3. Hey look the criminals are all black
    Imagine that

  4. Might need to send all these criminals to Sudan. 😂

  5. This is so scary. No one is safe. 😢

  6. what do all the robbers have in common? 🦍🦍 13% all day every day

  7. If you can't get the guns out of the hands of the criminals (I'm not saying you can't) then they do need to think their lives are at risk to deter them from the crime – a few dead bodies at the wheels of mail trucks might do it.

  8. Liberals say is okay to still they just tryna to make a living and stealing from the rich 😂😂😂

  9. Chicago needs a Stalin like leader who could send those criminals somewhere to less populated areas of Alaska otherwise it'll continue

  10. What are they after to go as far as robbing the mail carriers 🧐

  11. Postal Lives Matter! Postal Lives Matter! Postal Lives Matter!

  12. LOL Lebaboon James strikes!

  13. Really people Robbing mailmans now this world is Doom because our mail is important people are ridiculous people really that desperate wow

  14. All I see is mailmen and scholars. Who is doing the armed robberies?

  15. Give a new meaning to postal carrier and let them pack heat.

  16. Yes it’s way to dangerous for postal workers. The only sensible thing to do is eliminate the usps once and for all!!!

  17. My mail man gave me the middle finger one day just for asking is he had any mail for me… because I’m white… but that hate crime will never be acknowledged either because society has labeled white women as “Karen’s” and it’s all gravy baby 🙄👌🏻

  18. Why? People ruin everything good I have had packages go missing and wonder if this is the reason or if it is their system/ employees. Same with FED EX and UPS always lost packages.

  19. Mail carriers wouldn’t deliver Mail in Baltimore and caused a crisis… but the media won’t mention all the Americans who were deprived their mail or had their stuff stolen or broken from postal workers 🤦🏼‍♀️

  20. Arm them NOW!!!!! STUPID DEMOCRATSSSSSSS!!!!

  21. Blk people robbing

  22. These are government workers. Should carry service weapon.

  23. Looks like the postmen and women need to be trained with firearms, start popping these black thugs!!

  24. Not only the country, but the laws are garbage.

  25. The Federal Government don't care. When we reported mail theft to the Postal Service all they said was " Is it more than $4,000"? If not, go away, we're not interested. Yet, I can promise you if a member of Congress didn't get a free book of stamps, they would be all over it.

  26. This is getting out of hand.
