figuring out a way to sell something to someone that doesn’t even need it is called “marketing”.

Hopefully the next time he leaves his house to go to work or out somewhere his house gets broken into and ransacked and the police tell him that without any photo evidence they probably won't be able to catch those responsible.


Don't worry. He thinks it's OK for HIM to have a doorbell camera, just that WE can't. He's part of the "enlightened", not one of us "gun- and Bible-clinging deplorables here in flyover country".

So his "field of study" is to re-invent new ways to discriminate? (Then again, when I was in community college, most of the profs were liberal Democrats, and that IS how they operate)

I don't want to have a "conversation about race".
I just want a barrier and a camera.

I would bet $10,000 that this dude also thinks gun owners are racist.

Why should you be able to defend yourself and family from bad people?

Where are the bad people supposed to get their shite if you shoot them for taking your shite...

Damn, I have a ring doorbell, couple Ring cameras, and the Ring alarm system.

I'm literally Hitler.

My neighborhood is relatively safe. However I tend to date crazy women and don't want my truck keyed as it doesn't fit in the garage.

When you believe everything is about race, everything is about race.

Ok. Then why does every major retailer nationwide have cameras in every store. No matter the economic background of the location?

I have one on each of my doors. Just like many of my neighbors. Even though there hasn’t been a break in in my subdivision, that I know of, in 10 years. It’s not just for crime. It’s to talk to any of my family or friends that show up so I can tell them how soon I’ll be back or if I will for a while.

Oh and:
