When this happened in the 1920, President Harding dent the Marines to protect the mail.

https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/the-mail-marines-protecting-packages/

The order to the Marines.
“You must, when on guard duty, keep your weapons in hand and, if attacked, shoot and shoot to kill. There is no compromise in this battle with bandits. If two Marines guarding a mail car, for example, are suddenly covered by a robber, neither must hold up his hands, but both must begin shooting at once. One may be killed, but the other will get the robbers and save the mail. When our Marine Corps men go as guards over the mail, that mail must be delivered, or there must be a dead Marine at the post of duty. “

Robberies stopped cold.

I’ve seen countless YouTube videos of what a third world hellhole Oakland is.

I’m sorry, but any Postal Worker caught dead or alive in Oakland deserves what he gets.

In liberal cities, if the crime rate doubles, it’s just an ‘uptick’.

Mailmen USED to be untouchable in every poor neighborhood.

Not any more.

A had a friend, white guy, who walked through Oakland back in the late 1970s. It was during the day time and everyone in Oakland looked at him like he was crazy. Not one person bothered during his walk.

When he got home he told his friends and about it and they thought he was crazy, too!
