Non-delivery due to gangs
LA Times stopped delivery to a Boyle Heights home because gang members apparently threatened the delivery person. (h/t LAObserved)
While the comments seem sympathetic to the homeowner, I'm not. No one should be putting their lives on the line, or believe they are, to deliver a newspaper. In Pomona a few years ago, the US Postal service stopped delivering mail down a notorious gang-claimed block. They set up a temporary mailbox at the end of the street. I'm not sure about paper deliveries down that street, but it wouldn't surprise me if the same thing happened.
