The closest I've come to a "home invasion" was these two girls in my neighborhood, around 14 or so, would target single guys in the neighborhood and walk into their homes and take whatever they wanted and then tell the dudes that if they said anything they'd basically tell everyone that they were there because the guy lured them into their homes to assault them. They did this to like, 2 guys, one being the guy who lived in an apartment next to my father's house. He was a younger Latino man, possibly an illegal immigrant so I can imagine him being freaked the fuck out by this with no recourse. This was about 20 years ago. IIRC I think they eventually fucked up and tried it once when one of the men had a girlfriend or something over and she wasn't about it. Not sure if they were arrested or just got slapped up a bit by a very angry woman but I just know it stopped.
Anyways, a gun would not have helped in this situation and while those girls were absolute fools and did not realize that their little scheme could have ended very poorly for them they wouldn't have deserved to die for what they did. Whenever I think about crime & punishment vs community-based solutions I always think there are a least a dozen community-based solutions to that issue that far outshine any traditional crime and punishment solution.
On the other side of things for new year's even of 2000 my friends and I had a fun psychedelic party at his apartment building. One friend about 3 hours after taking 4 hits of LSD walks out of the apartment. This surprised us because for the past hour he had been laying in a bean bag twitching and mumbling to himself and we only figured it out because suddenly he wasn't there anymore and the front door was open. The rest of us, also out of our gourds, go looking for him. Turns out he walked down the hall and into another apartment that was unlocked. He was just standing in the dark in their front room spaced the fuck out. We quietly grabbed him and ushered him out closing the door behind us. The people in that apartment never knew.

Holy shit this actually happened? It reads like an MRA fever dream
It did. I hate that is sounds like some incel fanfiction about how "femoids" are removed chaos dragons but it is what it is. It has no implications for the ethos of women at large this was just two shitty teens being shitty. I hope they are well-adjusted adults now, to be honest.
while i couldn't condone a legal system that would allow it i would 100% have personally shot those two lol, thats some cartman-level deceitful evil. frankly with no witnesses to say otherwise their little plan would probably fall apart, they should not have a plan that incentivizes not leaving witnesses.
Yeah that's what happened in addition I do specifically remember they tried it on someone where a woman happened to be over, like a lover or family member or some shit and their little spree came unraveled. As you can imagine once parents find out their kids are being this delinquent they take immediate action to solve the problem.
Well, this was in south Florida so that's why I said I don't think they really thought their plan completely through. Either way it did eventually stop without any serious consequence to anyone. I think the stolen goods were mostly small amounts of pocket cash and some items from like 2 or 3 guys homes. I wish I had more details but this was 20 years ago and I wasn't directly involved other than talking to my immigrant neighbor who was a victim himself.
No, not really.

Ummm yeah idk if shooting 14 year Olds is the thing to do. Really their parents should have been notified
Very very late term abortion

No. Bad dumpling. Do not shoot the children.
