Why does it seem like Americans are obsessed over home invasions? Do you have a lot of them? (hexbear.net)

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?

Given how much American media amplifies the ones that do happen, I'm guessing it's pretty uncommon. Most people I've heard bring it up to fantasize about it are just hoping they get a legal excuse to shoot someone. Idk why they don't just apply to become a pig

I've heard fuckers talk about how they don't care if it's just a burglar trying to flee, they "should have thought about that before they broke in"
