What would you do on Purge Night?




I'd like to say I would be an Anti Purger but more likely I'd try to stay low for the 12 hours. Or plan a trip to canada

Does the purge disproportionately help or hurt wealthier people? Since they can afford more security but obviously they're bigger targets

The premise is pretty dumb now that I think about it because people commit crime to satisfy economic needs and desires, not because they're evulz

In the lore of the series, the Purge was invented to harm the poor and help elevate the rich. Most elites are untouchable either by law or because they have so much power to protect themselves

IIRC the government also used it as a way to solve the homeless problem. It comes out that very few purge, they just hole up in their homes and wait the night out. Most of the roving bands are actually either white supremacist militia types, rival gangs, or law enforcement masquerading as purgers killing off the homeless.

The implication is the crazies, poor and homeless all get killed in the purge

So there's less people who have economic needs around

it's basically what MAGAers would do to gays and minorities if they could

It's established that all banks move their money out of the country a day before the purge

The vaults are empty

A pre purge heist in the purge universe would be cool

There are a couple of people who are "exempt" from the Purge. Meaning you can't legally kill them. I'd kill them. They're the ones responsible for it, after all.

They actually do that. There's one movie where an exec casually dropped that he scheduled his vacation out of the country around the purge.

Congress folk are exempt. There's one based around a Congress woman trying to convince Congress to stop the Purge. She used her status as a way to move freely through the Purge to expose it on camera. And yah, she was still in danger because not every purger recognizes her or her exemption badge.

Ive never watched any of the movies but I have an idea for a spin-off movie about hotel that offers protection to people during the purge and guarantees the safety of their customers by having armed guards, cameras and locking down the hotel. Then somebody is killed inside the hotel for the first time ever and the owner has to find and deal with the killer before his reputation is ruined.

That tracks. Not many people have the balls/insanity to PLAN horrific shit like that. Most people already either would already be fucked up from being a hardened criminal or simply snap when the right amount of opportunity and stress/anger converge. And the fear of even more fucked up people doing it to them probably holds back some of the less powerful or crazy people.

Realistically, die.
Ideally, not be in America.
Otherwise, be part of a band of looters.

I'm not trying to kill anyone.

It's shown multiple times in the series that the rich basically just hide or go out killing poor people.

And yeah The Purge is pretty exclusively to fuck the lower classes.

The rich and well off can just take an out of country trip before the Purge starts. If you can't casually do that on a whim...
