My name is Tony Hussing. Before all the pandemonium and hysteria began at the begining of this new year two things were very certain. A. I was a regular ole hard working Letter Carrier for our beloved USPS. And B. The alarming rate of property crime and the revolving door of rinse and release for those individuals whom aren't so lucky and end up actually facing convictions only to be lead right back out the door that's supposed to house these savages in hopes of reform and rehabilitation. Right before the busiest time of the year for a mail carrier I suffered a slight on the job injury (very minimal in my opinion) however due to the politics of anyone's workplace better be safe than sorry. So I followed protocol in the required steps to insure a lengthy career with the post office, but also so it could never be used against me later on down the road. Unfortunately, my situation has turned into something it should've never been due in part to management simply just workplace bullying. Nonetheless, needless to say we have an active union and being a Federal employee carries some resources to combat such a feat. The downside to what will eventually be a long drawn out bureaucratic process to voice my argument and injustice to the proper channels. I haven't collected a monetary payroll deposit since December 13th, 2019. I have been utilizing the "GigJobs" networks to very rarely, barely skate by with only the bare minimums. Due to current state and federal regulations surrounding federal employees workers comp and active pending EEO claims. I am unable to collect any unemployment benefits since technically I'm still employed, just haven't been allowed to return nor have I felt it safe to do so under my current direct management. There have been several instances, more than I wish to count. When my morale and ethical beliefs were challenged in my efforts to continue providing for my family. And this is when my "ah-ha" moment occured. Had it not been for my strong upbringing, rooted work ethic, and iron clad family values, that so many poor souls in our local community just lack completely. I could easily see and can relate on a personal level just how easy it would've been for myself to take the lazy way and further contribute to the alarming level of property crime within the city I was born and raised. And lets not forget the proverbial insult to injury, or the 1-2 punch to the saddened state of our cities current crime statistics. We are being looked after by a debilitating depleted and limited law enforcement community no fault of their own its just the hand we've been dealt. These "socially retarded" individuals whom resort to these methods are another peg in a very flawed system since the ones lucky enough to get caught are simply rinsed and released due to overcrowding or non violent motives. But what the powers at be fail to realize or ignore all together is it is the victims of these selfish crimes that are the ones holding the bag. No relieve no resources no end in sight! From big corporate box retailers down to the two man painting crew that are trying to start their own business. When these lazy and easily persuaded means are perpetrated, it isn't a victimless crime, it is a community atom bomb of epic proportion. So in hopes of swallowing my pride and asking for your donations in my time of need, figured might as well allow the forum to open the discussion debate and by all means some actual real resolution to a community problem that can only get worse with the current state of uncertainty. To all of you who find it in your heart and soul to be so kind to my family during such a time of need. I sincerely honestly appreciate and thank you from the bottom of my heart! Look at it this way, at least I had the balls to stand up and ask for the help than to sneak in the shadows and steal it from anyone. God bless, have a great day!!
