I'd watch that

It's an amazing premise. We're talking about a world where 364 days out of the year, the few normal people who are naturally kind sit and watch weird assholes try to justify their shitty actions.
Even crazier: a world where non-purgers become vigilantes during non-purge days, taking vengeance on people who brag about their crimes. Nobody suspects them because they play it cool every purge day.
They become popular, get caught, and the movie ends in a peaceful revolution to stop the purge and end the series.

What a far-fetched and unrealistic scenario

I would just steal stuff. Like steal the CEO's car and drive it to work the next day.
Edit: So by arguments against this logic. You could go to jail for a video of you capping someone the next day. After all it was legal that day but the next day at the very least you open yourself up to civil action for anything done. I'm sure they would come up with something and many folks would be armed to defend their shit instead of rampaging through the streets.
I wonder how this works in the Purgiverse.
You can’t register a title during the purge (I assume), so the next day you’d be driving a car someone else owns and be forced to return it legally?

Isn't the whole deal that crime is legal for 24 hrs? So stealing the car is "legal" but "possession of a stolen car" the next day is not.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Yeah, you'd still be driving a car you don't own without the permission of the owner regardless of whether or not the way you obtained it isn't prosecutable.

If killing someone isn't a crime the next day then stealing isn't either.

Organized crime would have dedicated bureaucracy offices dedicated to illegally filing titles, deeds, tax returns, etc. Basically launder all their money in a single night.

YESSS I fucking nailed it. I belong in a writers room
Be kinder to yourself, no one deserves that fate

Kidnapping and locking someone up wouldn't be a crime on purge day either, but that wouldn't automatically make it ok to still have them locked up the next day.

I don't know, it's probably just me being the least fun at parties, but I was pretty shocked that people thought The Purge concept seemed fun/exciting. it would get unfathomably dark when you think about what kind of monsters are out there. Is someone going to go make sure someone doesn't kill every kitten in the animal shelter? Not to mention crimes against children. Most of those cases are people in the same household. Are you going to go out with a gun to make sure Father Bad-Touch doesn't go crazy in the orphanage once a year?
I haven't watched the movies, so I don't know if they address that or not. I'm guessing not, because who would want to watch that?

Oh shoot you are right, guess I have no choice but offing the CEO then.

Yep it's just horrible. Parents would murder children. Disabled people, black people, LGBT etc would be executed. It's awful

wrote on last edited by [email protected]They don't address any of that. It's essentially an "every person for themselves" situation, where those that can afford it hole up in highly secured homes, while people living on the streets are hunted for sport.
The do mention crime within households when this one guy sneaks into his girlfriends home and tries to shoot her father though. However, nothing like what you're mentioning.

It will get there eventually. They can only make so many sequels and spinoffs until they have nothing left to use but those ideas.

How many are there now? I didn't know there was more than like two (maybe three?) movies, is there more?

Theres a funny YouTube skit like that where the rednecks who tortured a guy and killed his family take him out to brunch.

I would incur an entire year's worth of taxes in one day. Capital gains? Purge day. Paychecks? Nah the company can invest that until purge day. Buying a new car? I'll pay for it on purge day and you can deliver it in a week.
They might as well just do the purge on Cyber Monday.
