Oh, I agree completely. I think it’s disgusting how the right has succeeded in shifting the Overton window a ridiculous amount over the past decade or so.
The sheriff’s department commended the mail theft victim for contacting law enforcement so they could apprehend the suspects rather than attempting to contact them on her own.
They should have been congratulating her because she did their job for them.
A friend of mine had his phone snatched on the bus, so he had me call his phone and pretend to be the phone company, telling the thief that he'd won a new phone and I just needed his address.
The police were very happy that we'd done their job for them, and they got his phone back.
LOOOL. Something similarly stupid happened to a friend of mine. His phone got stolen in a nightclub but it was a rather unusual phone. He saw it for sale a few days later on our equivalent of craigslist and offered to buy it. Thing is the guy was a professional fighter and he turned up with a good friend who was a bouncer and also fought out of the same club.
Anyway…The person selling it was the bouncer from the club it had been stolen from. Someone would go around robbing phones from the club then sell them to the bouncer at a hefty discount and he would then sell them on. He apologised profusely and tried to explain his way out of it yada yada.

The opposite headline would have been more true. This ruling DOES disenfranchise those very same voters for state and local elections.
They won’t get to vote on little things like who draws the voting districts, who runs the elections, who certifies (or refuses to certify) the elections. Same for who decides on school book bans, policing priorities, medicaid expansion, or mask bans.
This may be a smaller loss than expected, but painting it as a win is disingenuous.
I am really starting to get sick and tired of all the excessive news coverage of this, especially in comparison to (for example) a boat full of refugees sinking. The latter is invariably far more tragic, yet tends to garner far less attention.

At least they had a weapon to defend their family against people who would hurt them. You wouldnt want your kids getting hurt by someone being reckless with a firearm

Are post boxes at the post office not locked in the US? Do you not have to identify yourself or have a key? How can they keep stealing her mail not from her porch or something but from the actual postoffice?
The last town I lived in didn’t do door-to-door mail for ANYONE. If you want your mail, come to the post office.
Private carriers like Fedex/Purolator are a bit more accommodating, but tracking down your regular letter mail was your problem.
The post office worker’s would get super pissed off if you received mail with your actual address on it instead of the PO box too. Taking 10sec to type it into the computer to match street address with PO box was the end of the world apparently…
It depends on where you are. The commercial carriers often will use USPS as the "last mile" carrier to send stuff too. People dump on the US postal system (rightly so for a lot of things) but it really is an incredible system, when it works. And a lot of that is the government side to blame, making it more costly and inefficient where it could be better.
They are locked, but as anyone who has watched 20 seconds or more of the Lockpicking Lawyer, the locks are trivially easy to defeat. Typically they are in an unsupervised area of the post office and most of the time there “isn’t budget” to even cover them with cameras, as if a premeditated thief would not just show up wearing a disguise anyway.
That’s why you always pack more underwear than you think you will need.
Come to think of it, how do astronauts do laundry?
Edit: I looked it up. They don’t. Dirty laundry is ejected into space to burn up on re-entry. So these poor travelers probably did not pack for an 8 month trip.
This is a great idea for a porn plot: several young, fit people in an enclosed space with nothing to do, cause they finished their assigned tasks weeks ago. Lots of positions that aren’t physically possible in earths gravity.
And they just ejected their last set of clothes.
“This meant Wilmore and Williams were forced to ration their clean clothes. Thankfully, a resupply mission earlier this month gave them a few extra pairs of scrubs.” Source
