The United States Postal Service just announced they were suspending mail delivery for a neighborhood in Santa Monica, California, due to their mail carriers being assaulted.
This from therightscoop.com.
USPS says multiple mail carriers have been assaulted or are under the threat of assault from one person in this Santa Monica area who, for whatever reason, has not been located and arrested by police.
Therefore, they are suspending their mail service for this area, which means people at these addresses will have to go pickup their mail from the nearest post office.
The residents were told that they have to go to their local post office to pick up their mail in person. But Clayton Canning, who lives in affected area, told CBS News that the postal agency has continued to deliver packages to residents in this area. “Since the suspension of daily mail has occurred, USPS still does come to our block—exclusive for delivering packages —no paper mail (or) envelopes, just packages,” Canning said.

The agency said assaults on carriers prompted it to withdraw service to the area.
Only one carrier assault has officially been reported, according to the Santa Monica Police Department.
On Jan. 19, a report was filed, indicating that a mail carrier had been attacked with a broomstick by a resident who lives near the intersection of 14th Street and Arizona Avenue. The department’s public information officer told CBS News that the suspect in question was well known, and that they’ve had several issues with him in the past.
This is not the only reason the USPS might suspend service to residents.
The USPS has not said when it will lift this suspension.
A few residents in the Santa Monica neighborhood have said that they are upset over the Postal Service’s decision, especially since it appears that the actions of just one person prompted the suspension. “My immediate reaction was just disappointment … frustration,” resident Courtney Smith told CBS News.
According to news outlet, the USPS has not provided any information on when exactly it will end its suspension on mail service to the neighborhood. “The safety of our employees and of the mail they deliver to you is our highest concern. Until we can ensure the safety of both, delivery services will remain suspended,” the agency stated in its notice, per Fox 11 Los Angeles.
And despite having its own law enforcement agency, the Postal Service has also not contacted Santa Monica Police in regards to the one carrier-attack report filed in January. “Not doing anything is not the solution,” Smith said to CBS News.
Is this a sign of the times—particularly in democrat misrun localities? Likely so.
Is this a byproduct of the Soros ‘Defund the Police’ initiative? Of course it is.
The operative question that remains: What do We the People do about this?
May God and our hard work save America.
