First of all if her employer knew she had a problem they should have stepped in to get her help, they should have known because you do have to have a valid drivers license. This is not funny because she could have hurt someone or herself while driving the USPS truck. She is also lucky the old lady didn't beat her up because I know I would have if someone was in my house! Please get help Ms Mail Lady!

Its hard to have those healthy kids that need their regular vaccines in the office when sick ones we can not do anything for come in.

I work in a doctors office and many healthy people bring kids in for a physical and 2 days later are calling because their kid is sick. Well, you just let your kids touch everything in the doctors office where all the sick people are.

Since this man was about 250 lbs I think the cops were doing what they could to stop him but being drunk he just kept going at them. Waterloo has little men for cops!

The police did what they had to to keep themselves safe.

It is tragic what their son did, but they did not ask for this to happen to them or the Thomas family. This just shows that small towns do come together in good and bad. Way to go Falcons!

Thomas was a family friend and he killed that towns hero. No matter what his mental status, he will always have to live with the fact that he killed Coach Ed Thomas.
