BREAKING NEWS! African American Postman Shot and Killed, Apparently Mistaken For ‘Prowler’


In breaking news, Landover police say 26-year-old Tyson Jerome Barnette, a postal worker, was shot while delivering mail 10 miles from the U.S. capital. Black America Web, Bossip and other sites are reporting that the shooting was motivated by a fear that the African American postman was a “prowler.”


The U.S. Postal Service spokesman Frank Schissler says that any other motive is unknown, as shootings of postal workers are extremely rare. The last time such a shooting happened was in 2010 in Houston, Texas. This seems to be what has led so many to conclude the shooting was borne out of racial fear and not simply someone deciding to shoot one, single, random person who happened to be an African American postman delivering mail.

Until the shooter is caught, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service is offering a $100,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest in this crime.

I'm confused....

They're saying he was shot because someone thought he was a prowler....but they don't have a suspect?

If there's no suspect then why do they think he was allegedly mistaken for a prowler, as opposed to just being murked by somebody for no reason, or a botched robbery or some other motive?

Did they say exactly where he was found shot?

How do you know the person who shot him was white? I know the symptoms are there by him being described as "african-american" and him being shot out of fear but....

I can't wait to see the Tommy Sotomayor video where the shooter is pardoned and the black female postal workers who were interviewed are ridiculed :lupe:

I'm guessing he was shot while wearing his work clothes which led them to that conclusion. There's no reason to really shoot a postal worker.

Right, since he was shot delivering mail, the suspects should be very limited.

:stopitslime:nikka this aint news. This happened 2 weeks ago and there are still no suspects and no motive. I know that Trayvon shyt was fukked up but stop with this propaganda bullshyt.

Cheverly is in PG County a predominantly black area. This shyt has no credibility :laugh:

Story doesn't make any sense. Dude was killed in a mostly black area and was wearing a uniform, the prowler/race angle seems to be completely made up.

If I had to bet I would say he got killed by some kids trying to rob him...

Basically. If you know the area then you know that makes no sense
