Essentially they have to drive out of the ghettos because there's nothing else left in the ghettos to steal.
They attack well to do neighborhoods in unincorporated areas, where it takes a longer time for the police to get to the homes.
Tie up the inhabitants, rip their houses apart, take what they want, and in some cases, sexually assault or rape the occupants.
It happens.
People who live in foreign countries don't know what the culture has turned into in the USA, especially in big cities.
Gates don't protect you. Securities don't protect you.
My Mossberg protects me and my family should it ever happen. I don't live in fear. Not one bit. I live prepared.

Go and live is South Africa and then come back and tell me a gun will protect you
In South Africa our iron fence when from 2 foot tall to just under 6foot with spikes on the top, We had bars on our windows, and metal security gates on our external doors, my dad owned a gun, We even had armed responce security but it still did not stop us from being robbed 5 times and my mom from being mugged.
I have a very close freind who is a SAP (police) he was off duty and always carried a gun He is now in a wheel chair because he was held up at gun point over his car after which they shot him in the back anyway.
Some people now have multiple metal locked doors within thier own houses for security, which means even going to the toilet you have to unlock these doors, because guns dont stop crime.
