    Actually, purge night would be a great chance to fake your death. Since all crime is legal on purge night, Bob won’t face charges of insurance fraud.

    There could be a purge comedy about how boring old Bob from accounting broke into the morgue on purge night to steal a body. His original plan is to leave the body in his house and burn it down, sending the money to his wife who is dying of cancer. But then it turns out that the wife has hired a purge gang to kill Bob for the same reason.

      The Purge has begun and I am dead-set on my mission.

      Puts dark tint on car windows

      Now for the final step…

      Backs out of driveway and straight into a telephone pole because the tint was too dark

      Same. There was some hype about it and i thought maybe it’s not as dumb as it sounds. It’s somehow so much dumber.

    I doubt people would admit to killing Bob the next day. But people would talk about the bullshit Bob made everyone put up with, and the motives leading to his death. And maybe that would curtail people doing bullshit on the daily.

    I expect that after the first few purges, most of the people missing afterwards would be the poor and vulnerable who aren’t able to defend themselves from the group who just want to kill.

    Iunno maybe those movies just exist to reinforce the idea that the state’s monopoly on violence is the only thing seperating us from ‘savages’

      I saw Savages in the theater, and I’m uncomfortable that this thin line is the only preventing me from watching it again

    What would happen the next day is the main reason why we don’t have purge nights.

    Sooooo… Like one of those Rwandan National Unity and Reconciliation things?

    Awkward doesn’t even start until about 15-20 years after you murdered a bunch of people.

    You don’t ask where people are after the purge night. You know and you don’t want to know.

    Bob from sales was annoying as hell and I’m about 70% sure he was the guy stealing everybody’s lunches from the breakroom fridge. Nobody should be surprised about this.

    Jeff, you’re now in sales since you killed the sales team. Yeah, actions have consequences bud.
