David Berkowitz

David Berkowitz should definitely be included on this list. Joe 19:25, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

US-centric

I realize the US keeps the best (publically available) crime statistics in the world, but shouldn't there be more entries from the other 7 billion 700 million people in the world?Aaaronsmith (talk) 20:42, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why emphasis on mail delivery?

I'd like to see on this page a reason why it's significant to list killing related to mail delivery (as opposed to other professions) in a separate list. 84.192.167.1 (talk) 15:48, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In fairness, most professions no matter how stressful, are not associated with violent crime to the level as postal service workers. There is indeed a well known saying describing the phenomena (ever heard of the phrase "going postal"?). That said, there are a few accounts listed here of members of the public attacking postal workers (robberies etc), and I would think THEY belong under a more general article. That would leave THIS article relevant to attacks BY postal workers, which would be far more noteworthy in my opinion. MrZoolook (talk) 18:05, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The page Going postal claims it refers to all workplace violence, but then this list is limited to violence directly related to postal services::

BLP violations

RE:WP:BLP - entries which concern living people and which do not have appropriate verification must be removed. I have done so. Please source these entries appropriately. JodyB_talk 16:30, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redundant article

Ins't this redundant given List of mass murderers and spree killers by number of victims already exists? Format (talk) 05:01, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dana Point, California

There was some sort of "postal" violence at the Dana Point, California PO sometime in the late 80's/early 90's.

The Truckee, California PO suffered murders of several PO employees sometime in the late 80's/early 90's. The deaths did not occur on PO property, but all involved were current/former PO employees. Corsair1944 (talk) 22:40, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
