So what is the problem with the commercial? It would be pretty much the truth...even if the actual acting obviously did a bit of exaggeration and "crowd pleasing." The sight of a gun in some home-invaders face is about the ultimate deterrent. So again, why do you seem so disdainful about it all?

Criminal? Oh. I thought she was going to shoot him because he is obviously a hipster douchebag.
No white earbuds. Therefore a criminal and not a hipster.

Could be both, I suppose. But in this case it seemed like the guy was a criminal intent on invasion (even if, again, the comedy-drama was part of the script). "Hipsters" can be either criminals, or harmless souls just wanting to get high. Just as can clean-cut teenage white kids from upper-class families, who do crazy things just for the sheer hell of it and have a sense of entitlement, can be simple vandals or criminals who just happen to come from a family that can buy them security from law.

But none of that is relevant when it comes to invading another persons home. If they get their asses shot off when doing so? Well, then *shrug*, I guess they should have thought aforehand whether or not their stupid decision was worth the said ass.

The greatest home invasion story I've ever heard in my life happened some time ago when a teenage punk broke into an old lady's home. She held him at gunpoint and forced him to call the cops on himself.

Thats the smart way to avoid having your gun taken away from you while youre distracted by making the call yourself.
