Why would somebody shoot the postman delivering mail?

Colorado's last known lynching took place in Pueblo on Saturday, September 13, 1919. Two thugs shot a police officer. Mob showed up at city jail and hung them from 14th Street bridge. I bet criminal activity dropped after that.

There is an account down around South Park around the 1880's of ranchers getting fed up with a crooked judge and they dealt with him.

That was in Granite. It was a gold mining town. The gold mine was shut down due to silting of the Arkansas River. The mud washed down the river and damaged farm irrigation systems. This type of mining was depicted in "Pale Rider" starring Clint Eastwood.

Judge Dyer was shot in his own courtroom.

I read the indictment, 23 pages long. The guy was in a relationship with the shooter. Kept changing his story and timeline during questioning by postal inspectors and the cops. Charged with Complicity, Murder in the First Degree. Claims to have warned the victim earlier in the day in which he was killed. Also claims to have tried to talk the perp out of it, yet never notified any of the authorities about what she said she was going to do.
