A Michigan man was charged Friday with allegedly assaulting a mail carrier over a “Kamala Harris for President” mailer that the mail carrier delivered to his mailbox.
Russell Frank Valleau, 61, of Farmington Hills, Michigan, was charged by Oakland County, Michigan Prosecutor Karen D. McDonald with assaulting a mail carrier.
“The defendant was allegedly upset that he had received mail regarding presidential candidate Kamala Harris and allegedly said that he did not want that ‘black b****’ in his mailbox,” according to press release from the Oakland County, Michigan prosecutor’s office said. “He then called the mail carrier a ‘black b****’ and threatened the carrier. The mail carrier used pepper spray to stop the defendant.”

A literal case of “don’t shoot the messenger”.
Another deranged goon from the MAGA party of hate, lies and violence. Take care out there.
Important detail missing from this article:
He’s accused of yelling derogatory, racist and sexual remarks about Harris and the carrier, calling the postal carrier a “Black b****” and lunging at her with a knife.

I’m shocked, the title of the story left so much out, I was really wondering who the unhinged, deranged psychopath was in a story about someone assaulting a mail carrier for delivering the mail.
Wait we can do that? I’m in MI and get 5-6 Trump flyers a week. I don’t want that orange bitch in my mailbox.
Way to go mail carrier with the pepper spray on the average Trump voter!
I try not to judge with incomplete facts…
but damn, do I hope the fucker is now blind - you know, to ease the terrible pain of having to look at people with (assumption incoming) a different skin color from his. you are the problem. fuck you.
Depending upon local state laws, he may have also lost his right to vote, now that he’s a criminal. I’m sure he is glad to be relieved of that burden.
Tolerates decades of spam in his mailbox. Has melt down when one contains a black female politician.
“Why do they have to make my mail POLITICAL??”
That poor snowflake. I get Harris, Trump, and every single damn person that’s running for office in my mail. Except for some reason I get duplicates of the Trump ones.
The thing is, it’s worked. Simply by doubling up the lies changed my mind. If they are that so sure about the things they say and say it with conviction without nary a difference it must be true.
Nah, just more recycling.
this country is so cool i love living here
I tell ya what, it’s not boring. That’s for sure.
When there a vidoes of everything these days why couldn’t there be one of this jackass getting pepper sprayed.
Hear, hear😓
People are not well.
Assaulting a federal employee is a felony… that fucking moron. He should have sprayed enough capsaicin into his eyes that he would never see any presidential candidate or anything else again.
charged with allegedly assaulting
Is this correct use of “allegedly”? The man allegedly assaulted someone, so he was charged with assault. Or they can just say “charged for allegedly assaulting”.
Funny how today is the first day we’ve gotten any political fliers in my office, and the same day I see this. Didn’t take very long at all for a Magat to assault one of us over the election, and I guarantee it won’t be the last.
Probably wasn’t labeled as pepper spray. We aren’t allowed any extra weapons on the job. But we are given Dog Spray. She sprayed him with Dog Spray. Which to be fair, is essentially pepper spray. But the label reads Dog Spray.
Not putting out a Harris/Walz yard sign was a good move I feel.
I live in a very diverse, quiet, and friendly neighborhood, but I’m still nervous about putting out a Harris/Walz sign.
I don’t understand why anyone puts up a sign for the major presidential candidates. What is the point? People already know who they are. All you’re doing is advertising your position.
NGL it is reassuring and even a bit motivating to see the signs when you’re in a red or purple state.
