Honestly, it feels like Jersey's been getting redder and redder lately. South Jersey was always a nightmare but some areas in central jersey no longer feel safe now, either.

The suburbs just produce a fear of other people because of how isolating it is. You leave your private, likely fenced, property, hop in a car, and drive to Starbucks. You don't get a chance to really run into people.
Its so bizarre. They'll say shit like "I need a gun to protect myself and my home," while living in like fucking Westfield.

Westfield is north Jersey.

What’s wrong with wanting to be able to defend yourself given a situation like this?
Is it better to be raped?

You are more likely to hurt yourself or someone else in the home than you are to be burglarized like this.
Not sure why you mentioned rape when that didn't happen in the story you posted. Also, not sure why you think I'm anti-gun when I'm just commenting on people in the suburbs being afraid of people they don't even know.

sounded like you think that it is bizarre to want to be able to defend yourself in the suburbs. I was asking why.

If you though being able to defend yourself was bizarre. I wanted to know if you thought being raped was better than having a weapon. That would be bizarre.
If my assumptions were wrong. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Hey dweeb, guns are cool for hunting. Guns are also okay if you actually need them because you're a stigmatized minority like how gays, trans, and Jews are being attacked right now. Guns aren't cool for shooting down Esther for accidently walking into the wrong house because of her dementia. Guns aren't cool if it makes you afraid of literally everyone who walks in front of your fucking Ring camera.
Who was raped in your story? The woman woke up to someone already in her room? When exactly would she have been able to pull a gun?
Stop being afraid of your imaginations.

Liberals are generally anti-police and anti-gun. So what is their plan for reducing crime and defending themselves?
The problem with owning a gun in a state like NJ is you will be at fault if you shoot someone, even if they have broken into your home. It's a situation where criminals have more rights than their victims.

Lmao what exactly do police do to reduce crime, you dunce? Only thing that reduces crime is social spending, infrastructure, and education.

It would depend on the circumstances. Why are you lying about this?

Social spending? Spoken like a true liberal. Just keep throwing money at problems, that will surely solve them.

What causes crime? Come on, bud, I know you can do this. You just have to think about it a little bit. I know the right-wing propaganda stuff you listen to doesn't want you to think to deeply about things but I know you can do it!

Yeah the only thing that happens in Westfield is people get strange letters in the mail.

I was talking about Mercer. There's more and more republican merch on people and cars everyday. It's alarming.
