Why does it seem like Americans are obsessed over home invasions? Do you have a lot of them?

Constantly see people online talk about "when the robber comes thru my door" or whatever, and some of it is memes, but a lot of it is just people legit discussing what the "best weapon" to fight robbers breaking into your house at night would be - Giving it so much thought as if it is a legitimate concern. So is it? Does it happen a lot?

  • other places where you see this specific breed of paranoia is among white south africans.

    the active ingredients in this fantasy are a middle class of temporarily embarrassed millionaires and a racialized underclass lurking in the shadows of their minds.

    • Even then the paranoia is amongst deranged chuds mostly. Most normal people are just vigilant and make sure to lock the doors at night, have barred windows on the ground level of a building, and install a security gate at the front door. If they're rich they can get private security/armed response with an alarm system or whatever.
