Bro, crime is down across the board. California is doing just fine. Stop spreading disinformation like this real news story which tells us that six Bay Area mail carriers have been robbed over the past six weeks.
One of those robberies, this one an armed robbery, was caught on tape up in Dublin, California. A 63-year-old woman, a 33-year veteran of the USPS, just out there delivering mail in Dublin on a peaceful afternoon around 4:30, and then this happens.
Welcome to California, peeps!
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service said at least six mail carriers have been robbed in the Bay Area since last month.
One was an armed robbery in Dublin on Monday that was caught on camera …
'Somebody came up behind me and ‘boom,' just hit me, and put a gun to my head,' said the female postal carrier who asked not to be identified. "He said, "Give me your keys. You don't want to die, do you?" I go no, no, no. So I reached in, got my keys, and he goes, "Where's your phone? You got two minutes." '
The worker went to the mail truck to get her phone and handed it to the armed robber while fearing the worst.
She said, 'Oh my god, I'm going to die.'
But the two men ran away after taking the keys to mailboxes and the truck, along with her cell phone …
One neighbor shared surveillance video of the possible suspect vehicle, a blue Infiniti, seen driving to and from the scene.
The postal carrier said she's grateful to all the neighbors and Dublin Police who helped and supported her.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is offering a reward of up to $150,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.
This woman kept her calm and made it through what was likely her most life-threatening experience to date. She suffered no injuries, though she's seeing a psychiatrist for her anxiety as she "can't sleep" after the incident.
What's more, the unidentified woman says she'll likely return to work once she's ready.
Good on her for not giving up on her career after this. I know I would have a hard time with that one, especially so close to retirement (she's got about 1.5 years left).
It's hard to believe, but this woman did exactly what you're supposed to do in this situation. First off, she stayed calm. Second, she did exactly what the perps told her to do and gave them what they wanted. Unfortunately, that's the best way to go about it.
Sure, us gun owners could've found a moment there when the perps took off to grab for the holster, fire a few rounds, and take cover behind the truck, but this is California, and I'm not even sure if non-criminals have guns there.
Seriously though, I'm glad this woman is okay, and I hope she's back on the job in no time.
Hey Cali, maybe since we've had six mail carrier robberies over the past six weeks in the Bay Area alone we could, you know, start arming these mail carriers.
Just an idea!
