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?

    Amazon made it cheap and easy. You buy their door bell/camera, slap it on your door. It’s battery operated and snitches directly to the cops, and now there’s countless thousands of the fucking things all over the USA>

    On the very rare ocaissions all the ad-blockers I have on hiccup Facebook is always trying to sell me body armor, gas masks, insurrection kits, weird christian fascist stuff, and dick pills. It’s scary, just pure white male id spewing out of the screen demanding you buy buy buy.
