Holy Victim blaming

I was shocked when I read @MajorHoople's previous posts regarding Aundre allegedly stealing the package. Quite frankly, I don't believe he's involved other than being a victim of other people's criminal dealings. Perhaps this is because I am naive and want to believe the outward appearance of love, peace and Godliness Aundre showed in his FB profile. I know nothing about him or the folks who've spoken on his behalf, but it feels as though there is going to be more to this story than what has been reported. I have a feeling someone with connections to the Postal Service is involved, but I don't think that someone is Aundre. I hope the investigation is continuing. I also hope the investigators are being investigated as well. Keep digging. MOO

However, the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Milwaukee Branch 2 is pushing back against some of the details in those court documents. [snip] But NLAC Milwaukee Branch 2 President Dave Skowronek said, "that would not be a scan that a letter carrier would normally use." [snip] "As a letter carrier, it leaves me to believe that it was intercepted by our inspection service," Skowronek said of that missing package.

@ YaYa_521, I hope you're right. I'd like to believe so too.

Not buying what they're selling at this time. Curious what the Postal Inspectors' investigation determined? Doesn't matter though, can't justify murder. IMO.

Friends gather in memory of postal worker shot and killed​

Friends and co-workers gathered at Skybox Sports Bar in memory of a Milwaukee postal worker who was shot and killed on the job.

Prosecutors have charged Kevin McCaa and Charles Ducksworth Jr. in Cross's killing. A third person, Shanelle McCoy, is accused of lying to investigators.

My family lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, outside the city limits. We've given up on mailing packages.

The mailbox is visible from my sister's living room. You don't even have to stand up -- you can see the mailbox through the window sitting on the couch.

My Dad is in his eighties, my BIL is retired. When Tracking says a package is Out for Delivery, what do you think they do after reading my text that the package is out for delivery? They sit on the couch & wait for the vehicle.

In our combined experience -- if the regular mail carrier is the first one to have the package -- delivered no problem.

If it's a substitute that day, the package will never be delivered & every sort of excuse will be scanned into the system -- mailbox blocked, unable to access, mailbox full -- among other ridiculous reports.

These are messages entered into the system on days that my Dad, sister, and brother-in-law have watched the mail carrier drive by without slowing down.

NO experience with mail in Cross's area -- but imho did these two drug dealers manipulate a substitute carrier -- and tried unsuccessfully to manipulate Cross?

Did he enter that code -- while a gun was pointed at him?

If there were not complaints before, I'll sit on the fence a while longer.

United Parcel and FedEx have absolutely no trouble delivering packages to their address.

JMHO

I am sickened by what happened to Aundre, and this article is not about him, but I wanted to share about another fatal stabbing of a a USPS worker, a 71-y/o female(!) in Oakland, CA. This is disgusting! My prayers and condolences to the families affected by these senseless tragedies. 71-year-old California postal worker stabbed to death by repeat offender

Sadly, there is now a lot of violent crimes against letter carriers. I think most of the criminals are after the "arrow keys".

Here's one in Dearborn MI.

"MILWAUKEE - A fourth person has now been charged in connection to the Dec. 9 fatal shooting of on-duty U.S. Postal Service worker Aundre Cross on Milwaukee's north side.

Federal prosecutors accuse 38-year-old Lakisha Ducksworth of providing false statements to law enforcement.

An indictment alleges Ducksworth told law enforcement that her home surveillance was not working, when in fact it was – and captured Cross delivering her mail three days before he was killed. If convicted, Ducksworth faces up to five years in prison.

Previously, prosecutors alleged that Kevin McCaa, 36, and Charles Ducksworth Jr., 26, both of Milwaukee, murdered or aided and abetted the murder. It also alleges another Milwaukee resident, 34-year-old Shanelle McCoy, with not coming forward about a crime and lying to police.

Surveillance video, license plate readers, fingerprints and cellphone records are what investigators used to piece together what happened near 65th and Stark."
