I had an uncle that wouldn't go walking without brass knuckles and a chain because he was scared of getting mugged.

He lived in the most upper class suburban neighborhood I've ever seen but the conservative talk shows had just poisoned his mind, he was afraid of everything.

    I knew a guy who lived in rich suburbs and bought a gun because he "heard a drug deal went down" and he "wanted to protect his daughter". People are stupid and even more so when scared.

    Rich areas can be bad because that's where thieves go.

    Yep. This is how it goes. People consume content like this religiously and begin to construct a false narrative of the world in their heads. And they then sort of seek out confrontation to bring that fantasy of victimhood into their life

    I had some and tried them on a tree. Those HURT. I dunno if I just got crappy ones but I can't see using them. FWIW armored gloves do just as much damage and don't fuck your fingers up.
