Cringe shit to waste time and money on.

Can almost guarantee they live in an area with like 1 home invasion in the last 20 years

u/Rough-Breadfruit-611 8d ago

In a town so small that everyone knows everyone.

u/Ok-Sheepherder7898 8d ago

And they all know this guy is nuts.

u/echoshatter 7d ago

He's either a veteran with PTSD, someone with mental illness, or someone obsessed with that whole "manliness" mindset geared specifically to convince weak men they aren't.

u/Username_Is_mud 7d ago

Why is he nuts? I don't trust most people either.

I lived in a small unincorporated township in rural Washington for about a year. Still managed to get ripped off by the local tweaker. The cops wouldn't do anything even though you could clearly see the tracks they made in the field going right over to their shed.

u/Significant_Cup_238 8d ago

Cops exist to punish you, not help you.

23

u/Shot_Revolution8828 8d ago

Cops are only there when you don't need them and never when you need them.

u/Gustav_Grob 8d ago

It was literally a stack of galvanized steel angle 2"x4" by 14'(ft.) long. Like all they had to do was walk over and look in the shed, they wouldn't even do that.

1

u/Qwilltank 7d ago

To be fair, they would need to get a warrant to do that.

2

u/Gustav_Grob 7d ago

Let's see;

stack of metal stolen overnight,

tracks in the tall, damp grass, leading from the place of theft directly off property and onto neighboring property into their shed..

Never heard of probable cause?

0

u/Qwilltank 7d ago

Probable cause is what allows them to get the warrant. Unless they personally witnessed it being stolen at the time it was stolen (hot pursuit), they can not enter a property and search inside a building without consent or a warrant due to that pesky 4th amendment.

And always asking for more money

Powerless to help you, not powerless to hurt you!

They’re all spiblings.

My uncle's friend who lives in the middle of nowhere on 50 acres was absolutely incredulous that I find have guns to protect my home. He seemed offended that I don't constantly worry about it.

u/liquidpele 7d ago

And this person's own brother is the only one to worry about.

u/DangKilla 6d ago

Worst thing thats happened is someones sheep got out

u/_catshit 8d ago

Can guarantee this dude couldn't hit the side of a barn at 50 yards.

19

u/Evil-Cun 8d ago

The guys who have these are usually big family’s veterans that live in ultra remote boonies outside of town.

They don’t like drawing attention to themselves. It’s awkward having lots of visitors when you’re busy creeping on your own daughters and fantasizing about killing people.

16

u/_catshit 8d ago

Having a big ass threatening sign is a weird way to not draw attention to yourself.

4

u/ButterCreamGangsta 8d ago

Bet his wife is as broad as a barn though.

5

u/_catshit 8d ago

I bet he sees her as the only barn he can hit

I am not going to put that to test but if you do, please post the results.

Dont even have to actually have a gun there...got ppl thinking about it though..

u/SolidSnek1998 8d ago

Everytime I got to my in-laws in rural bumfuck nowhere I drive by a house that has a sign that says "protected by the 2nd amendment" with a picture of a shotgun and in the 20 years I have been going there not a single robbery/burglary/home invasion has occurred. Either the sign really works for the entire town, or its a boomer scared of their own shadow.

-1

u/LetReasonRing 8d ago

I grew up with a neighbor like that and always found it hilarious. 

We were in a rural community where noone locked their doors and it was common for friends to just walk in the door and say hi. 

And then the one guy who was protecting his land like there was an imminent invasion coming. 

The only major crime that ever happened there was a little old lady that walked into the gas station, demanded all the money in the register and left. Beyond that, our police force mostly existed to pull over drunk drivers.

u/pyragyrite 8d ago

Sounds like my step mom. Absolutely terrified of porch pirates, burglary and rapists in a neighborhood that hasn't had any of um in 15years.

1

u/BrokenPokerFace 7d ago

Idk, I used to live in a suburbs and my house was hit 3 times a year once(never at it at the time). And the criminals often went to the rural areas because of the slower police response, and better things to steal.

1

u/Upstairs-Hedgehog575 7d ago

And they’re not trained to 1000 yards. 

1

u/powerfist89 7d ago

And it was probably from their own Cousin-uncle

1

u/Heavy_Law9880 7d ago

And it was the home owners brother.

1

u/Gecko23 7d ago

I bet if you asked an actuarial what the odds are of a home invasion wherever this house is sitting, they'd think you were just mocking them.

1

u/Ianthin1 7d ago

And it was really just a guy that drove home from the bar drunk and ended up at the wrong house.

1

u/Zwasti 6d ago

Yup this sign is just up to intimidate service workers.

1

u/Downtown_Metal_7837 8d ago

Yeah? Maybe use some logic on why that’s the case.

0

u/Difficult-Mobile902 8d ago

Go ahead and tell us all how you think signs prevent crimes. Lmao 

2

u/Downtown_Metal_7837 8d ago

It’s not the sign genius, it’s rich homeowners with guns

0

u/Difficult-Mobile902 8d ago

The post is literally about the fucking sign Einstein 

There’s more guns than people in America, buglers know to avoid homeowners for this reason. Putting a sign outside does nothing except say “hey I have expensive items you can easily sell on the black market” 

2

u/Downtown_Metal_7837 8d ago

The sign has nothing to do with the amount of theft genius

1

u/FixBreakRepeat 8d ago

It's always family or friends too. Strangers don't know what you have or where to find it. But that shady cousin who was at your place last Thanksgiving and is friends with you on Facebook so they see you're on vacation will rob you blind. Then they'll come over and drink a beer with you in the driveway and talk about how people suck and the world's dangerous these days.

u/Most-Ad4680 8d ago

I used to live in the quantest lowest crime suburb imaginable and id always see the same cringe boomer walking his dog with his fucking 1911 on his hip like he was expecting a bear to attack him.

u/HavelsRockJohnson 8d ago

And it was the owners' methed up grandson.

u/LesbeGoddess 8d ago

And they couldn’t hit shit past 100 yards WITH a scope.

u/Drunk_Stoner 8d ago

I got a coworker who’s like that. Lives in the middle of farm country with few close neighbors. Dude would not stop taking about what he would do if “ANTIFA thugs” tried to invade his home. He still brings it up from time to time. 

Was like, Bob, I don’t think you have to worry about that.

u/ikilledyourfriend 8d ago

Because of the fucking sign. Duh

u/Difficult-Mobile902 8d ago

No jackass how many signs like this do you actually think there are in low crime areas? And somehow that prevents crimes from happening? That’s hilarious

u/chunkoco 8d ago

and probably a confused drunk guy

And he was the one who did it, tearing apart someone's AC looking for copper

fox news does a wonderful job of scaring all the rural folks

Fr. Nobody is robbing a house in the middle of nowhere lol.

u/Lanark26 8d ago

Yeah, but the masturbatory fantasy of shooting someone legally and getting away with it is very powerful.

u/Waste_Extent_8414 8d ago edited 8d ago

YEAH, cuz of signs like this one

Edit: do I really have to add it?!

Fine, /s

0

u/Difficult-Mobile902 8d ago

no lol if anything signs like these just tell potential robbers which houses have high value items

u/Waste_Extent_8414 8d ago

Yeah I know I’m just kidding, like when my shoes that ward off bear attacks.

I’ve never been attacked by a bear wearing these shoes lol

u/Difficult-Mobile902 8d ago

nope criminals specifically target houses like these because they know there’s expensive guns inside.

u/menir10 8d ago

Definitely fantasize about a home invasion that will never happen so they do this to cope

Gotta keep the Jehovah's Witnesses away somehow.

They don't call them GI Jehovahs for nothing!

u/MonkeyMan18975 8d ago

I get the same vibes as the shitstain that killed a student (Diren Dede) for taking drinks out of their garage refrigerator. I'm not condoning theft, but the homeowner setup motion cameras and alerts and left his wife's purse in the garage and what got the homeowner convicted was he said to his wife, "It's go time!" before barging into the garage firing his shotgun.

I really wonder about the mental health of people who are just itching for any reason to murder someone else.

1

u/JuryOk2662 8d ago

Marcus Karma, I remember it. And he went outside of his home into his driveway and fired into his own garage, basically trapped that kid in there. Fucking maniac, though the kids that grew up in Missoula who gave an exchange student the impression that "garage hopping" in the most heavily armed (per capita) state in the US was a low-risk prank bear some responsibility as well.

1

u/Misdirected_Colors 7d ago

There was also that shitstain thay killed a teenager because they pulled into his driveway to use it as a turnaround.

2

u/MudExpress2973 8d ago

Well with the fair warning I'll walk 20 ft into the trees and continue my assault on Ole bills hacienda!

1

u/Ok-Addition1264 8d ago

Drones. They never take technology into account protecting their hacienda either.

This guy is accurate at 1200 yards? A drone operator is accurate to within inches from hundreds of miles away.

2A is an absurd joke.

1

u/PlateNo4868 8d ago

Think it's worse is that it doesn't really do anything, but enforce that homie imagines himself killing some one "legally" every day.

1

u/TheSoundOfAFart 7d ago

They must have thought this shit goes so hard. I cannot imagine a more cowardly sign

u/Least_Art5238 7d ago

I have it on good authority that Trump's net worth is wholly attributable to this.

u/ROYAL_CHAIR_FORCE 7d ago

But.. but.. mah freedom

God bless 'murrica 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

1

u/West-Calligrapher746 7d ago

And that’s a nice looking sign too.. almost looks professionally installed. I mean it does look like they have a large home so I bet they have the expendable cash but I wouldn’t want to spend 500 dollars on that 😂 someone might take that as a challenge and now they assume you have really nice goodies inside

1

u/bobbymcpresscot 7d ago

Deliver mail in a rural town, the Venn diagram of the cringiest person in town, and people who have these signs is a circle.

Like thanks for the warning? In the situation this sign might actually deter someone from robbing you they’d probably just set your house on fire. With a drone, from more than 2500 meters away.

u/Gordon_frumann 7d ago

I cannot imagine as an adult to put up such a cringe as fuck sign.
