Now This is Macroaggression

Robert Kiefer, 25, of Akron, Ohio, was apparently waiting for a check in the mail. When he saw the postman on the street, he was upset that the check still hadn’t arrived — and allegedly attacked the carrier. Kiefer, witnesses say, grabbed the mailman’s dog repellant — a form of pepper spray — and shot the carrier in the eyes, and bit his legs several times. When police arrived to assist the letter carrier, Kiefer allegedly attacked them, too, so the officers sprayed him with their own pepper spray. Kiefer has been charged with assault.
