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?

    My mom got really paranoid when they installed a speed bump in front of her house in the lower-middle income neighborhood she used to live in because it would make all the thieves drive by slower and think about all the stuff inside that they could steal.

        Clickhole had a meme saying pedos LOVED school zones cause they could check out all the hot kidz and to share this meme to change the speed limit to 85 mph outside schools.

      One time my aunt got mad that the city had to cut down a small line of trees because of possible fires or something. Maybe it was the roots were getting into the road? I don't remember. She wasn't mad because she liked the trees, but because it meant that several houses were now visible from the main street, as in, now visible from the poor/black side of town. My aunt said the same thing as your mom, that potential thieves driving home could now see the roofs of white people's homes and figure out which they wanted to steal from.

        When I was in high school I lived in a different area of town and was going to catch a ride from some friends that lived near that same neighborhood to goto a show, she was worried that I was going to get shanked in broad daylight.
