Yeah... It is only going to get worse the closer we get to Christmas. I wouldn't be surprised to see someone robbed at gunpoint while on route.

What's worse is the supervisor, as usual thinks that cardboard is the most important thing in the world..............even their own life. Confronts the gun toting individuals. Idiot.

We had an on-car who was doing a safety ride on Cabbage Night get out of the package car and try to confront a bunch of kids who had pelted the pkg car with eggs. He did a quick head count, saw that he was outnumbered and hopped back in to the PC.

Cabbage Night?

Night before Halloween.

I carried pepper spray for a long time. I was told that as long as I only used on public property, I was fine carrying it.

 

[TooTechie]

Yeah, we call it cabbage night here as well--well at least those of us over 30 do. My teenagers don't get the reference.

They never call it Cabbage Night around here.

Cabbage Night (plural Cabbage Nights)

I heard of a story

This driver robbed at gun point they told him to go in the back of the truck, told him to take off his uniform, tied him up, drove to a vacant house, took out all the packages and then they shot up the whole truck.

Depending on the part of the city, not many adults in Baltimore are going to be afraid of a handgun-- in my experience, at least.

They're just a part of life. There's no shock in many parts of that city when a gun gets pulled, just reactions.
