Not really, never happened to me and never happened to anyone in my social circle. It does happen but the people who worry about it (middle class and above white folks) are virtually never the victims of it. When it does occur, it’s usually done by poor people in poor neighborhoods, but even that’s not something that all that common.
As others have said, it’s just 100% racism. Went into a little more detail in this comment yesterday.
Middle class white folk are far more likely to shoot delivery drivers or random people outside than defend themselves against home invasion.
One of my coworkers actually did have a home invasion, but it was an elderly woman with a mental disability who was lost and confused. This guy still pulled an AR15 on her. No one was shot, but he tells the story like he's the Punisher.
The only thing that can stop a confused old lady is a good guy with a gun 😎😎😎
Do wish those home invasion people would realize theres a higher chance of good shit to do it to billionaires
Well, that and a power fantasy by gun lovers probably
idk, it seems pretty common in my area. i started working "poor people jobs" like 2 years ago, and ive already heard directly about 3 home invasions against my coworkers in that time, and also one of my coworkers at one of those jobs told me about some old funny stories from back in his own home invading days, before he went to prison, got out, and stopped doing that sort of thing (allegedly)
