What if The Purge, was real?

[SGT. Renegades]

Once a year, a night. All crime is legal for 12 hours.

What would you do?
Stay in doors?
Or, be an emotionless killer?

Like how would you die?
Just get caught out on a run and stabbed?
Hiding in your house when a guy breaks in and after an honourable fight you fall?
Commit suicide?
Common dude, details!

If I was to die, it would be because some government idiot coming in my house and killing me.

I'm not going out there, but if that did happen I'm not going down without a fight.

I would describe how I would die but then I realised...
I wouldn't.

They would be safely home, locked in their personal forts.

But notice how happy and calm everyone is before the Purge in the movies. It is just a safe, normal day for them. Especially in the first move. They almost forget the purge is starting, until their alarms go off.

Which is the big weakness of the Purge. Well.. not THE big weakness. One of them. Crime is legal. If I comit a crime before the Purge, I am legally allowed to destroy the evidence, kill the witnesses, and if need be scorch the very earth to make the crime disappear. Next day, how does one prove a crime happened if everything is bullet holes and rubble. I shot the guy that did it, and acquired everything my neighbors owned, because, hey, Purge.

The 364 remaining days of the year would be spent on the back catalogue of stuff done from the last Purge. Then it happens again.

To be fair, you don't even need so complex a reasoning to identify the entire concept is never going to be practicable. I really doubt anyone (wow, outside of Steam discussion baords, perhaps) could really conceive such a possibility would ever be realised-

What's presented in media is a limited perspective of token examples in a 'what if' scenario - there are ar more complex considerations that are highly relevant and crucially impacting which are never even mentioned nor hinted at - ignored entirely or the sake of both an exciting sotory driven production with saleable value, and to explore the limted vision of the writers' interest.

It's almost like something I read once concerning the old fashioned zombie movies and how the elements of how progression from the first person being bitten/reainimated or whatever to the state of the entire country being some wilderness with pockets of civilisation held in fortresses or lone handfuls of stragglers (usually protagonists) left outside : Given those were the days when zombies were meandering slowpokes wiith no cognitive higher functions etc, it's all conveniently swept under the carpet how things actually impossibly could escalate - So it's ignored entirely because other wise, there just wouldn't actually be any movie/story to tell.

So I feel debating about what "would happen" or "what people would really do" is somewhat mootgiven that such actions necessarily depend on a number of strong factors that are simply non-existent and any hint of their influence glossily ignored.

I would hate to see an argument between you and C4Warr10r.

No one would actually do anything in it for the fear of being killed themselves, only hitmen or the insane would actually kill anyone on that night.

I love how you said "The insane" like you're Donald Trump. Here's an actual Donald Trump quote. "I have a great relationship with the blacks!"
