**(CBS DETROIT) — **A 61-year-old Farmington Hills man faces multiple criminal charges after he allegedly assaulted a female postal carrier Thursday evening upon receiving a flyer in the mail featuring Vice President Kamala Harris.

Investigators say Russell Frank Valleau was allegedly upset about receiving the particular piece of mail and told the postal carrier that he did not want that “Black b****” in his mailbox. 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.

The postal carrier used pepper spray on Valleau to stop the attack. Farmington Hills police later arrested him in a neighbor’s yard.

    I wouldn’t want to see the orange bitch in my mailbox, but if I did I’d just throw it away, like a normal human being.

    and told the postal carrier that he did not want that “Black b****” in his mailbox.

    “That’s okay, sir. I’m only authorized to put letters and packages in your mailbox. Bitches are forbidden to be put into mailboxes by federal law no matter what their color.”

    Is that one exclusive case or are there a lot of people who take a knife for murder at the needle drop?

    Seems like the world went insane, and insanely fragile.

    These are the people who call others snowflakes. And here is a guy who can’t handle getting a piece of paper in his mailbox. Makes sense.

    It’s insane how these people can’t tell the difference between a delivery person and a true believer.

    Oh wait, they can’t, because in their twisted little religious brains they’re identical.

      Possibly. He probably could vote by mail if he thinks to request a ballot, but he might think he’ll be out by election day, or he might not trust mail ballots thanks to the Fanta Menace demonizing them.

      BTW, the thing with felons voting is state by state, so it’s not a universal thing. Some states allow felons to vote once they’ve completed their sentence, and I think there’s even a couple that allow felons to vote from prison.

      Generally you need a final entry of judgment for that type of penalty to apply. So, you lose you’re franchise after sentencing. Absentee voting is possible, but most people are not held indefinitely in jail pending their court appearances.
