[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't people answer their door when the doorbell rings? What are they so afraid of? Many people here admit they won't answer unless they are expecting someone. This man's overreaction to the stranger in his driveway is the same fear. Everyone is afraid it seems like.[/quote]

Here? Because mostly they are shady sales people. I answer if they are a neighbor, but it's not a really good idea to answer the door for people you don't know in an urban area, especially at night. Not answering a door does not equal shooting people. But I am also from a high crime area, with a former neighbor who was attacked because he opened his door at night to someone he wasn't expecting. Not answering is better than coming to the door with a fully loaded gun ready to shoot someone who may or may not attack you though.

I think FOX News and other media have a lot to answer for-- for making people, especially older people and people inclined to be paranoid, terrified of everybody and wanting to be armed to the teeth all the time. Those people shopping in red states with an AR15 slung over their shoulder apparently are scared of everything and think they will be attacked at any moment while buying milk or something. Some of my neighbors even seem terrified of kids going around and ringing doorbellls and running, much like I did in the 70s and 80s.

If people just didn't answer their doors instead of coming out with a loaded weapon, more people would be alive or not hospitalized today.
