This ain't the hood- very upscale new construction area in SW Longmont. I drive by it frequently on the way to my parent's place off Mountain View.

My first guess is a love triangle, or some other form of hit, with the location of the deed simply dictated by the deceased's mail route, but who knows?

Because people suck

F****r probably kept leaving the mailbox open after he put the mail in the box.

Mine was doing that for a while and he?s lucky he didn?t get shot.





(Sorry. Not trying to make lite of a tragedy. Maybe he was delivering his package to a stay at home housewife.)

Gang initiation? It is federal worker, maybe we can get a death penalty conviction?

Maybe he wasn?t wearing a mask and someone got triggered?

Why are people jumping, beating, curb stomping and pushing random people into subway trains in NYC on a daily basis these days?

Why are people cold clocking random pedestrians in big cities all over the country?

Why are people robbing stores blind in broad daylight?

Why are people walking up and murdering cops sitting in their cars?

Because of years worth of "defund the police" and dem refusal to punish criminals.

Didn't uprising in the book 'Unintended Consequences' start with killing low-level gov't workers? It's been a long time since I've read it.

Regardless, it's a pretty sad day when a person can't even deliver mail without getting shot. I don't have a good feeling about our future.

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.

Too much junk mail?

In all seriousness, it sucks that this postal worker will not be going home tonight.

Do we know whether the mail carrier was male or female? Domestic situation (which have been on the rise btw)? Sounded like the cops had some leads they are working on, hope so.
