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?

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.

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.
