I call bullshit.
It might be bullshit, but it's also hardly a stretch. Home invasions do in fact happen, and anybody with half a brain would pretend to have a reason to be there. Door dash, etc make an easy cover that's not hard to pull off.
That doesn't support shooting at a fleeing driver or a bunch of other crazy shit in this instance, and it shouldn't make anybody paranoid that every delivery driver might be there to kill them. The guy with a pizza box walking up your front sidewalk is overwhelmingly likely to be delivering a pizza.
You literally said the exact same shit as I did. This place is just reddit reincarnate lmao
You just acknowledged that it's bullshit.
Had some valuables that the local lowlifes found out about, by sending their kids over to spy through the windows. They sent two thugs, big and small, brains (heh) and muscle.
They knocked on the door pretending to be friends of friends, saying someone needed help. Opened the door and out came the knives. Got slammed into the corner and told to STFU while they got what they came for.
And BTW, just because real life doesn't fit your white boy, suburban background, fuck you.
Made up bullshit.
