All Hail the Pizza Delivery Workers
A fine 18-year-old man I knew and liked was murdered walking home from his job making pizzas for a national delivery chain in the wee hours of Saturday August 26th in our Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C. He was unfortunate enough to be caught alone and unarmed by predators that morning.
As a rule, the workers making the pizza deliveries are even more at risk in the course of doing their jobs.
In anticipation of all of the lionizing of state employees who carry guns and/or badges that will take place in the next few days, I want to voice a reminder to remember those individuals who do truly dangerous and unappreciated jobs like working alone in convenience stores or delivering pizza that make all of our lives better on a day-to-day basis.

How about a shout out to their tyrannical employers who don't allow them to carry a weapon.
