$50,000 reward offered after USPS employee is critically injured in shooting

Just like in my home of Little Chicago. Black people harassing the postal carrier. They stopped delivery for 2 weeks on one street. Just think if it happened now. Democrats could charge that Trump is disenfranchising people.
