But they were such fine, upstanding young men.
It will be interesting to see if the company pursues this and creates the criminal history these fine young men don't deserve or will they quietly be "resigned" to pursue other careers?

With the new socially aware CEO, would not be surprised to see UPS no longer transport firearms in the near future.

"Socially Aware CEO" would be considered an oxymoron.

We will continue to ship firearms, the problem is making sure the proper people have access to them.

And they were giving them away or selling them while on the clock...LP has a lot of explaining to do....

Why were they released on bond? They should have been shot on the spot.
