Vincent Paterno: FedEx driver refuses to deliver to BLM and Biden supporters
A FedEx driver took to TikTok to share that he won’t deliver packages
to houses that display flags supporting President Joe Biden, Vice
President Kamala Harris, or Black Lives Matter. Vincent Paterno posted
the video on social media on September 16 while wearing the uniform of
the transport company and appearing to sit inside a delivery truck.
Paterno said in the video,
“What's up TikTok. Just wanted to come on here and let all you know, if
you don't have a flag in front of your house, and if you have a Joe Biden, Kamala fucking camel toe posted up in front of your house, Black Lives Matter
— I will not deliver your shit,” before adding, “I will not deliver
your shit. I will bring that back to the station and I will keep doing
that shit. Have a good day.”
After the video went viral, a spokesperson for FedEx
told TooFab, “We are appalled by the behavior depicted in this video,
which does not reflect the views of FedEx. This individual is no longer
providing service on behalf of the company.” However, Paterno claimed
that he was not fired from the company, he, instead, left on his own.
In
another TikTok video shared on Sunday, September 26, the man said that
he had already informed his boss about his plan to leave the company
this month. The recent social media video showed him posting text
messages from September 13, where he informed his supervisors, “This
week is my actual last week I start next Monday.”
The first video has amassed more than 74K views and over 3K comments,
mostly criticizing Paterno. “You about to lose your job,” a user
commented. Another asked, “How are you 40 acting like this?” A comment
read, “So if you get sick and go to the ER remember those doctors,
nurses, and people have the right not to help you if they support
Biden.” “Somebody tag me in his weepy apology video after he gets
fired,” a user added.
Meanwhile, there were some on TikTok who
noted that not delivering or stopping parcels from getting delivered is a
crime, according to 18 US Code 1708. A TikTok user tagged the FBI and
stated, “This man just admitted to withholding mail over political
beliefs.” “That's literally a crime?” another one wrote.
A few
users also mentioned the dangers packages not delivered on time pose.
One wrote, “Some people get medicine delivered, including life saving
medicine or medical devices. You could be hurting people.” Another user
added: “I want a felony charge and jail time. People get medicine
delivered to them. I want him arrested.”
Several people took to
Twitter also to express their views. A person tweeted, “Politics +
social media is just rotting people's minds. It's out of control.”
Another one sarcastically asked, “Has he started the obligatory Go Fund
Me with a sob story pity party about being unjustly fired? It’s all so
predictable. #ActionsHaveConsequences.” “@FedEx needs to fire his
manager for not firing him on the spot or at least report him if his
manager does not have the authority to fire him,” the third one added.

I am pretty sure Joe's mail is not delivered to the White House. It goes to a special receiving facility where it is inspected for bad things. Like original thoughts.
