**(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.
Here’s hoping this fuckin guy loses his right to vote.
No thanks. Disenchantment for convictions shouldn’t be the norm.
Typical GOP publicity stunt to build a conservative fanbase. He must be planning to run for office.
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.”
A bitch in the box is actually just a breaking bad themed jack in the box.
Imagine being 61 and still having zero idea how the mail works.
Also not sure why it popped into my head, but the thought of this man doing community service (like picking up trash on the side of the road) while a guard blasted “U.N.I.T.Y.” by Queen Latifah over and over would just be amazing.
Sounds like similar karmic judicial retribution to what happened to these assholes: https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/30/politics/jacob-wohl-jack-burkman-sentenced-voter-suppression-campaign/index.html
Only a possible two years in prison for attempted murder?
Valleau was arraigned Friday on one felony count of ethnic intimidation and one misdemeanor count of assault and battery. He pleaded not guilty and was issued a $25,000 bond.
If convicted of ethnic intimidation, Valleau faces up to two years in prison and/or a fine of up to $5,000.
That doesn’t include the misdemeanor assault charge. He’s not being charged with attempted murder, it sounds like he brandished a knife and yelled slurs but didn’t attack her.
The article language wry much makes it sound like attempted murder, “lunging at her with a knife” you don’t hold a knife toward someone and rush toward them unless you’re planning on stabbing them.
Neither I nor the article writer were there, so we don’t know the exact motion, but the words of the article make it sound like attempted murder to me.
Grand Old Pricks
In court: “It’s my constitutional right to be racist, sexist, and derogatory!”
It certainly is; Otherwise that derogatory comment itself would be illegal.
Dem are complicated words my friend, not sure he can muster…
It totally is, but it’s not their right to try to stab people.
Bear arms, not knife arms
So he could have ripped her apart with his claws but not with a knife? Seems a little nitpicky. What if he had just gotten his nails done?
Sounds about right

I can’t … what the fuck?
Dude got his just deserts assaulting a mail curlier.
