I'd watch that

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

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?
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 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 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.

I agree but have to downvote the ridiculous tiktok self-censoring. This isn't corporate social media, stop with the newspeak

I agree with your opinion, but I don't see any of that in the comment above. What specifically are you talking about? I'm guessing "father bad-touch", but that seems like a perfect euphemism for a father who does bad things to their child but hasn't been held accountable yet.

Why not say "sexual abuse", "paedophilia", "abuse", "assault"? "Father bad touch" is almost ironic, like "pew pew" for gun and a grape emoji for rape

Interesting thought though: in a world where it is normal to own weapons, to protect yourself during purge, and where it is normal for people to talk about plans for getting together in heavily armed groups to protect themselves during purge...it suddenly becomes a lot easier to coordinate in order to overthrow oppressive and evil governments.
Why do you have an arsenal of weapons? Purge.
Why are you talking to people about getting together with weapons and supplies? Purge.
Why are you discussing meeting places for your group? Purge.I haven't seen much of those movies myself, but I got the impression it's even considered reasonable to discuss plans about who you're gonna kill during purge.

They kind of go over it in the first one when the neighbors attack each other. They tried to like 'shake on it' after and the targeted wife was all fuck you guys. It wasn't much but did show people held grudges.

Why is murder the crime they commit? How about financial crimes or permittless construction and demolition?
Killing people isn't profitable compared to other crimes.
I could go blast fishing and have frozen crappie for the next year.
