[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am guessing the delivery person didn't see the dogs when he entered the yard and that once he was already inside the yard the dogs suddenly appeared. My dog can be sneaky like this; he somehow hears something we don't and runs out the kitchen door into the yard because of something he had heard (a dog walking by, a squirrel, the wind, etc).

I don't believe the guy initially knew the dogs were there and that he came into the yard with the gun blazing and drawn. But it wouldn't surprise me if the driver had some negative and dangerous interactions in the past which is why he had the gun in the first place.l My brother is a grub hub/uber eats delivery driver and he has been robbed and assaulted before (I really wish he would get another job). You read in the news about many of these kind of gig workers getting car jacked. Charlotte does have some serious crime, who knows.

Is your brother also in the USA illegally?[/quote]

No. What does that have to do with anything?[/quote]

You failed to read Jeff’s analysis of this thread?  It is apparent from your response.

Here, I’ll quote Jeff from his own blog post from yesterday on DCUMAD (NOTE:  full attribution and only partial re-post so definitely NOT a copyright infringement):

“Other posters are more fixated on the fact that the man was using someone else's identity. Apparently it is not uncommon for individuals to purchase delivery accounts from others. This allows them to avoid background checks and utilize an account that has good feedback. For many participants in the thread, this was the most eye-opening part of the story. One poster claimed, "Lyft, Uber, Doordash, and Instacart would likely collapse if they were forced to strictly police the accounts being used by undocumented workers or those who could not pass a background check." For many, the thought of an unknown man, working illegally, and carrying a loaded weapon while coming to people's homes was extremely troubling and is probably causing some reconsideration of using delivery apps.”[/quote]
