Postal Worker Fired After Racial Attack

HINGHAM, Mass. -- www.ournewsnow.com
A postal worker who was the victim of a local woman's racist rant has lost his job over the incident.

The racial slurs came from an angry Hingham, Massachusetts woman who was upset about a letter that he wouldn't return.

"Why you calling me names? I mean, I'm just delivering your mail," said the mailman.

A shocking video of the assault was taken by that mailman, and recently, he posted in on YouTube. The incident itself happened just over a year ago.

He told 7NEWS he believes he was fired from the post office because of his plans to make a big deal about the assault, which started with insults and escalated to punches being thrown.

"I think anybody watching that video would say the elements of hate crime were there," said Lt. Mike Peraino from the Hingham Police Department.

Police initially filed charges against the woman, but it never went beyond that, because the mailman backed off, according to police.

"The victim did not want to testify. Again I think the victim felt some compassion for the woman," said Peraino.

Police admit that they've dealt with this woman before. But neighbors weren't surprised by the racist rant.

"We don't have that much to do with her because of the way she is. We don't trust her. We're afraid of her actually," said Guy Steadig, a neighbor.

A year after this disturbing encounter the now former mailman says that he never wanted charges dropped, and is still convinced that it is the reason he lost his job.

The US Post Office released a statement on Friday: "Let me assure you that the employee's job status has nothing whatsoever to do with the video."

That mailman was let go about two and a half weeks after the incident. He told 7NEWS that he was told he was let go because he missed some 90 stops on his mail route.

I hope this bitch dies a painful and lonely death, suffering for hours as she bleeds out of a stinking wound on the floor until at the last minute she realizes how much of a senseless ignorant bitch she is and then fucking dies in her stinking pool of blood and shit.

@toddnjordan good point. i think at that time, he was trying to defuse a situation so that she wouldn't complain about him to his boss.

@humbl3fact Is it against the law to drive away when somebody puts their arm in a window? Her arm was in the vehicle far less then it was in. Plenty of opportunities to leave.
