Another failure of signs stopping crime

Postal truck driver held up at gunpoint

On Monday, November 30 around 6pm a truck driver for the U.S. Postal Service was picking up mail at the back dock of the Alief Post Office located at 11936 Bellaire Blvd in southwest Houston. He was approached by two men, one who had a gun. The men robbed the driver and fled the scene.

This happened in a GUN FREE ZONE, with signs posted and everything!!! Why can't they get signs that work?

2. Oh, so that's what happened at Richmond High in CA

Forgot to put that sign up.

Why don't we just have USPS/other delivery workers wear shirts that say

STOP OR I'LL DO NOTHING AT ALL

???

4. Yep, because guns are the primary cuase of crime. *eyeroll*

And seriously, your penis obsession seems to be reaching dangerous levels. You really should speak to somebody about that.

5. That's why there are over 4 million NRA members.

... and not even a handful of you gun control people left out there.

The NRA types are all just redneck, truck drivin' stereotypes to you, even the African American ones I bet.

Cookie Cutter thinking is not a liberal or progressive value last time I looked.

But you, Sara Brady and her GOP friends keep up the good work and make sure we get our ass kicked in the next round of election, just like '94.

Demand gun control planks in ever candidate's platform and be as loud about it as you can. But don't sit there scratching your head when we can't get all the other crucial social programs passed because we lost too many seats for your ill thought through and unsupported = "principles"

7. If you could ever take your eyes ( and evidently mind, too) off the pecker stretchers...

You might see a whole new world out there. C'mon, give it a try for dear old mom.:D

10. When I was a kid, one of my cousins showed me a very small stretcher with a red cross on it...

I asked him where he got it. He said he bought it at a gas station rest room vending machine right next to the condom machine. The vending machine was labeled "Pecker Stretchers"-25 cents.:D
