Every chud in my life is obsessed with someone breaking into their house and the situation being resolved with the discharge of a firearm. And these are people living in low crime areas out in the suburbs, with no pedestrians. It's frustrating to talk with these people since their whole worldview is a racist panic over some imagined brown interloper invading their white fortresses.

One of my coworkers tells me he always pulls out his Glock to check the corners when he comes home in the evening. Another has a CCTV system and an AR15 by his bed. I personally don't own a gun anymore because I don't trust myself with one, and chuds will ask me what I'll do if some mentally unwell person high on amphetamines decided to enter my apartment. I guess I'd leave or call an ambulance? It seems so unlikely of a scenario that even if I had a firearm I probably wouldn't use it right, or even register this person as a threat quickly enough to do a John Wick style takedown.

How many home invasions are actually stopped this way? Do chuds all think they're Robocop?

    these people should be removed from society and helped
    that is a dangerous level of paranoia

      From experience this seems like the floor for paranoia required to be a white person in American suburbs where nothing happens. Re-eduaction can't come fast enough for these people.

        This is why I don't read Nextdoor anymore. I live in a boring, safe suburban neighborhood, and all I read on there were people freaking out about nothing, propagandizing themselves and each other. Fascist hellscape, Nextdoor is.

          Folks went and created the snitch network they thought existed in the GDR.

      Lol the only people I know whose paranoia is actually warranted are the ones living in the hood a couple blocks from my place. But even then it’s usually just a pistol or rifle nearby their bed, they’re not clearing their houses every time they come home.
