Why is this movie so goddamn retarded?
>terrorists only commit terrorism if the law says it's ok
>stupid movie is stupid
>i'm gonna get mad about it
>>71599384
it would be perfect
you could
a) use the rampant violence as a cover for your actions, like the skinheads did
b) commit a ton of violence without any repercussion
>>71598919
Uhhh... where did you get that they, or anyone in this movie, belonged to any religion other than the Purge cult?
This movie is what would happen if the euphoric were to take over
>>71598919
>all crime is legal
That's the central premise of the story, though.
>foreigners are allowed to come and participate
>terrorists don't use this as an excuse to commit terrorism and kill hundreds if not thousands of people, with no repercussions
They just let white terrorists in.
>other dumb shit:
>the bad guys are literal neo-nazi confederate-flag-wearing christian fundamentalists
No, the bad guys are members of secret society.
The neo-Nazis were just their hired muscle.
>limehouse from justified, who was a crip, constantly says negro instead of nigga in hilariously bad spots so they don't offend the white sjw audience
Hearing a black man say "nigga" doesn't offend the SJWs as much as it does the AWMs, who are mad that they can't get away with using the word
>limehouse's purge insurance rate apparently gets jacked up the day before the purge
>he didn't make sure his current coverage ran through this purge, apparently
The system in this movie is different from what we have. Maybe they have the right to do that?
>tracking bullets
It's 2025.
>crips who start beating on the ambulance and were just seen fighting, apparently just want to get help for their friend
They had guns. If they wanted to kill the people inside, they would have opened fire.
>the same din do nuffins wipe out a bunch of highly trained fucking white males
A bunch? Two. Two highly trained white males with their backs to about 7 gang members, armed with assault weapons.
>the bad guy and the good guy run out of bullets and get into a fistfight
I can't explain that. That was stupid.
Do you have any other complaints I can invalidate?
For all you know terrorism might not be such a big deal in this timeline or story line or whatever.
At any rate, are the other Purge films this bad? This is the only one I've seen. This felt like a poor man's London Has Fallen.
>>71599488
The main reason that people commit acts of terrorism is because they are disruptive and not acceptable. To do it on the one day it is legal is stupid.
>>71598919
>implying that there would be anything logical with a movie that has a concept this fucking stupid
>>71598919
It's a flick not a movie man. Don't think too hard about it. I enjoyed it.
do they ever explain why businesses are ok with the millions of dollars of damage being done to stores and property?
Is it subtitled Election Year for a reason other than marketing? Does one candidate want to end Purges or something?
>>71598919
there wouldn't be much point to doing terrorism on this day. or rather, if they did, it wouldn't be terrorism as much as simply participating. the idea of terrorism is to disrupt things and cause a scene, so to speak, so you get everyone's attention. doing it on the day when everyone else is killing people too is pointless.
>>71600736
yeah
the female senator who later becomes president wants to end them
the current minister or w/e tries to kill her, since she's ahead in the polls
The purge would be a good idea to prevent crime to be totally honest.
If i was a cop I would take a list of the child predators and gangsters and terror suspects and just knock as many off as possible. A bunch of cops decide to do this and after a few years you are rid of much of your scum.
Also if i was working in a jail I would take this time to pick and choose the criminals i wanted deal and shot them.
no such thing as foreigners
end borders!
XD
>>71598919
does the film explain how they set up a fucking guillotine in the middle of the city?
I mean, it's a great looking shot in the trailer, but I just can't help but imagine the set up.
>some mother fucker has been looking forward to the Purge all year
>started building a guillotine in their garage six months ago
>Purge time finally comes
>dons his Purge apparel and gets his Purge buddies to help load the 400 lbs of wood and steel into his Prius
>drives it out into the middle of the city and unloads it
this premise, with a little bit of tweaking, could make a fantastic "What We Do in the Shadows" style comedy.
>>71598919
You aren't allowed to use bio weapons or bombs during the purge. It's a shitty series. But they explain that in the first one. I like the premise tho.
God, the idea that a film series with a central premise this pants on head retarded got green lit still pisses me off. The only way this would be acceptable is if it was a parody comedy, but it just goes to show how dumb fans of movies like this are.
This goes so far beyond "just turn your brain off". This is another level of stupid.
>>71601173
>being a cop on the day of the purge

>not expecting some rogue dickhead to unlock every cell for bantz
U gon die honkey
Are things like money laundering and tax evasion legal on the Purge night? Did they change the tax system to accommodate jews who would use this loophole?
Why aren't there any arsonists? You know there would be some Joker tier edgelord who just wants to watch cities burn.
Why doesn't the government use this time to kill undesirables?
>>71598919
I can suspend my disbelief enough to believe superhero films could be a thing, even fantasy and sci-fi films, but this shit pushes it too far.
Why on earth do people watch this shit?
>>71602409
>day of the purge
>anon sat at a desk crunching numbers trying to avoid paying this months tax
What would /b/, /hc/ and /t/ be full of i wonder
>>71602409
That's the entire point of it. The government does this because it wipes out the working class and poverty groups, who are considered to be undesirable.
The Purge only works set in the current year. It is hard to believe mono-white USA in the 40's/50's with its close knit communities would just start becoming murderous psychos. It is only in the modern time where everyone is atomized by forced diversity where this idea that shitlords would go around murdering randoms becomes even a little plausible.
>>71602613
Do you know how many pedofiles exist around the world? Do a quick search of your area on one of those "Registered sex offender" lookup sites.
The streets would be overrun with child rape, it would probably be the most common crime aside from petty theft.
>>71602656
But those are the types of people who vote for them.
>>71602711
>petty theft
I'm not risking my life to purse snatch on Purge night.
>>71600642
Why businesses still choose to remain and operate in such a volatile and unstable country is also puzzling.
Do you think RWDS would take this opportunity to start and end the race war?
>>71601173
If you were a cop on purge night you would either get killed by one of your buddies because he was secretly just a bully with a badge, one of the corrupt cops whose wiping out any of the uncorrupt guys, or gangs of thugs/civilians. I imagine prisons during purge night are a hell zone of rape and murder.
Hell, if you were a cop, realistically, on purge night, why would you go after criminals on your list and not work to protect people who are caught out in the purge or homes broken in by people. If you'd bother to cleanse criminal elements on that night, you'd have better use of your time trying to help people.
>>71598919
>its an autistic shitposter spams his garbage thread every single day thread
>>71598919
But anon, if all crime is legal that applies to the government too, they could assassinate anyone even incidentally connected to criminals or terrorists without any oversight, and they could track any free agents that participate in the purge and kill them next year too, it's the perfect cover.
>>71598919
class 3 explosions are illegal anon
>>71603870
Could the government implement laws and shit during the purge and keep them even if they violate human and constitutional rights since they were put into work when it was all legalized?
>>71602833
The upper classes who want the lower classes will vote them in.
What if I would steal a car during Purge Night? Could I keep the car after that?
And why would you call it Purge Night in the first place? What needs to be purged?
>>71604170
The idea is the citizens "purge" themselves of their desire for crime during the night by indulging in it.
>>71604262
That's retarded. How do you even get that past the senate? And what stops the people from not voting for the politicians who support that idea?
>>71598919
>when they get saved by other black guys he says "MY NEGROS"
>>71604383
It's a movie.
>>71601173
It's just plainly retarded, people comitting crimes regularly would still do it everyday, not just doing the Purge. Only thing that would change, is that one day a year they would get a free pass to do it. The whole "unleashing anger" idea is also stupid as fuck, a lot of people live out their lives without comitting any sorts of crime. The whole idea is just edgy as shit.
>>71604642
It would increase crime, honesty. Since you give everyone that little taste, that sample of being a criminal, with no strings attached, regardless of what crime they commit. There are folks out there who would become criminals if it weren't for the threat of the law hanging over head, take away that risk and they lose that last inhibition. People would become addicted and commit crime even past the Purge. Not to mention the clean up after the Purge. If a real Purge was like the ones in the movies, crimes wouldn't stop just because the sun rises. People would look for pay back, revenge, to get back at the people who break into their homes and killed their family, or friends, there would be outrage across the entire world towards the government to allow such carnage to be committed. Not to mention, if you give the people a free pass, whats to stop them from just continuing even when the Purge is over? You have what amounts to country wide anarchy and riots, with fully armed nut jobs roaming the streets. You'd have to run the military through every state just to bring things back to normal, because theres no way in hell the police would be able to enforce normalcy once the purge ends, I doubt people who spent the night bathing in their neighbor's blood would head on home peacefully when the cops roll out saying "Okay folks, Purge is over, return home and go about your lives"
Again, it's a movie, so getting into the depths of it is silly, but people who seriously believe this concept would work in real life are stupid.
>>71601173
Violent crime isn't the only kind committed. If the Purge were real, I would spend all my time cheating the stock market, extorting money with blackmail, and cashing fraudulent checks. Hell I would only need one night to become the most economically powerful person in the entire nation, and buy my way to power.
This is why the Purge are incredibly stupid movies for mouth breathing dullards
A few cities were involved in a "purge" situation, mostly just a whole lot of stupid idiots who thought it would be a good idea to go out all at once, with face paint and masks and guns and bats and terrorize homes, try and break into places, and be nuisances. As far as I've read up, there were few shots fired, at least one death from being shot, and a lot of people just walking around menacing homes by banging on doors and shouting.
>>71598919
Whats the story behind this "all legal"?
Is the crime since this day legal?
>>71602656
Not fearing that suddenly the people kill the leaders.
Or some military or police chief takes over.
>>71603555
Good idea instead gioning to kill the bad guys set a trap and let them come.
And we dont consider that only because its legel doesnt mean they will do it.
>hey its legal to kill someone
>oh i cant see blood, not for me than.
>>71604262
You know you can get amnesty for things, but you could get sued because of property damage.
Or even get jailed latern, because of international rights.
See the big war criminals.
>>71604383
Or in this purge kill all responsible for this purge and than end it.
>>71598919
I like the idea, sadly the movies have been meh. First basically turned into Home Alone, 2nd one took a step in the right direction. I kinda like the feel of it, reminds me of District 13, how its lawless, but like OP pointed out, the premise has a lot of flaws, which will probably be filled in. Like special rules, no big explosions, maybe they completely close borders during the purge, which can explain why drug cartels doesn't just bring in all the drugs during the purge.
>>71605727
What?
I dont think that is possible in 24 hours a year.
>>71605727
Sure its just a flick. But honest how should someone seeing this relate to the horror of characters or the whole situation if its just a retarded plot.
Its just futurama christmas plot recycled and in futurama it made more sense than here.
>>71607084
Yes too much
>We said so - the writers
The whole plot isea is dumb.
Why try to explain shit if its just about splatter.
Tried too much psychologically showing humans without rules.
>>71598919
MAGA
>>71598919
>christian fundamentalists
Christians are the bad guys in real-life, though. You don't see any other religion being as pernicious as those fanatics. Who started witch hunts, slavery, unholy wars, scientific oppression, colonialism, the Black Plague, torture, and LGBT discrimination? Christians tried to prevent the Abolition Movement from the secular, progressive types who knew it was immoral all along, and the Muslims who never operated slavery in a large scale like the Atlantic slave trade Christians controlled. You anons need to read history book. The Dark Ages are all about how Christians caused the technological stagnation of the entire world.
>>71607091
>But honest how should someone seeing this relate to the horror of characters or the whole situation if its just a retarded plot.
But it IS a retarded plot. It's complete shit that takes the premise seriously, despite being a complete incoherent mess. It's just like Human Centipede but without the level of gore, it's a testament to how far mouth breathing sheeple will keep eating shit as long as it has the same name on it, much like Sharknado, Saw, Final Destination, Bourne, etc.
>>71604642
But wouldn't the idea of being able to bottle up that emotion and commit all the crimes you want without consequence be appealing to criminals?
Wouldn't that render committing crime to be obsolete?
You must admit, crime would decrease SIGNIFICANTLY
>>71598919
>>terrorists don't use this as an excuse to commit terrorism
probably because the primary point of terrorism is getting attention and that can me done much better when a bunch of other more important shit isn't going down
>>71607588
Wouldn't the purge work in favor for the anti-purge side if terrorists kept blowing up most buildings? Just walking downtown to work day after purge and everything is blown up. Pretty sure corporations wouldn't like the cost of that, and they literally run the presidental election
>>71607266
Yes and it tries to be more than it is.
Sad such film exist.
Because of this everyone has the right to voice his opinions about this film, exspecially with htis bad plot.
>>71607543
>less crime
Not really, most crime doesnt happen because its planned but spontanously.
Most crime is done because someone need money to live. Hillarious if all want to steal money from a bank which were already secure for this one day.
If crime is planned time is too short or the planning is mostly a crime before.
>>71607543
No it wouldn't. It would increase crime. You say "no consequences" but that only adheres to the law.
Imagine you are in a small neighborhood, and the purge night happens, and suddenly your neighbors break into your home, rape and murder your wife and children, and torture you till morning.
Are you supposed to just go about your day like normal the next day? "Hey man, nothing personal, it was just the purge!" No, people would seek revenge, pay back. Gangs would slaughter each other, and then the next day do even worse just for pay back. Normal people would tear each other apart because of crimes committed that night.
Lets not forget people who have never committed crimes, now being given a free ticket to finally do what they have been desiring, do you seriously think they would just get it out of their system and be done with it till next year? No, it would get in their system, like a drug (especially like a drug if they did drugs) and they would be more likely to commit crimes outside of the Purge. I mean do you seriously think people would stop being criminals because they get to do it legally for 12 hours? Fuck no, criminals will be criminals regardless, and the Purge night would allow even more criminals to come out, and equip themselves for future crimes.
As I said before, it's not even counting the INNUMERABLE amount of damages that would be caused by such a night, damages both to property and to people, which doesn't just go away the next day. If there was a drop in crime, it would only occur for a month at least, and then crime rates would skyrocket, especially as the year got closer to the next Purge, and with every purge crime would get worse and worse, with less of a decrease.
>>71608053
The major issue is people who plan crimes have the problem of one mess up meaning a life of jailtime, at worst. If the Purge was real, people would have an entire year to plan and prepare for any kind of crime they wanted, and even if they fucked up, they would get off scott free. I mean could you go to home depot and stock up on chemicals and power tools
>Awful lotta gear here, Pat
>Yeah, just preparing for the Purge, gonna break into a bank this year!
I mean, unless it's against the law in their world to openly prepare for the Purge each year, you'd have every fucking bank and store in the city broken into in minutes, since no one has to be subtle or worry about the authorities.
>>71608115
This here is right. otherwise hooligans would only get aggressive in the stadion or even only on the day of event.
We had a "meeting" of different hooligan groups here, because they wanted to fight. There was no sport play.
>>71608222
Yes, but as far as i know, the planning brings you into the jail.
And to get the tools to do it, is mostly illegal, if your crime has to be planned because 24hours only.
Everyone will plan for it.
>hey were is Mr sackhead, i wanted to kill him.
>Oh he is in europe on vacation.
>Oh didnt had to buy the steeldoors. They arrested my neighbour, because he bought explosives a day ahead.
>bank
But the bank would be secure, the money safe in a vault were you need an a-bomb.
Or money diveded through 10k people, everyone kills themselves. And before someone gets ahold of the money the day is over.
Heck the day afterwards, you dont get into jail because you stole money but you posses money that is not yours.
Even the promise of the film is redudant.
>>71608610
How exactly would you procure evidence showing they had been conspiring to be committing that EXACT criminal act? Maybe my defendant simply FOUND those explosives and equipment or killed the person who had them and then used them for themselves within the 24 hour purge period. Your allegations don't hold and my defendant goes free on grounds that all provable illegal activity happened during the Purge, and the allegations of conspiracy are unfounded.
ITT triggered poltards complaining about a problematic movie. Listen to yourselves. You sound exactly like tumblrinas complaining about rape culture and the male gaze in movies. Get a room and hate fuck each other already.
>>71600326
>The main reason that people commit acts of terrorism is because they are disruptive and not acceptable
kekekekek
The only thing that bugs me is the suspension of fire services. Seriously the number one problem would be arson and entire cities burning to the ground because no one is there to put them out. Once a city fire gets so large it becomes damn near impossible to stop.
>>71598919
So how exactly does it work if you forge a paper saying you're the president of the US, or a CEO of Apple or some shit? Since it was forged on purge day, is it valid from then on, or?
why the fuck did they never pick up any of the guns from the people they were killing? No one was carrying and ammo bag but they had enough ammo to get into a bunch of firefights
>>71610446
Well you'd have to argue it in court after the Purge.
>>71610446
The forgery would be fine. Afterwords, trying to use those forged documents for anything would get you locked up on fraud charges.
>>71610625
Why? If I said "Obama isn't the real president" right now, would he be questioned and brought to court? I don't think so.
By what you're saying, you're essentially admitting that law is worthless and the entire society relies on spooks.
>>71610713
Uh, I didn't say any of that. You simply go to court, the government has their people testify against you and you lose. The law still works.
>>71610678
What if I, acting as president, enacted a law that makes questioning my presidency punishable by a bullet in the head on the spot?
>>71610754
Just answer me, would Obama go to court if someone questioned his presidency right now?
>>71610787
If they had sufficient evidence to prove their claim then yes.
>>71600326
They could still do things that would be fucked up even for a purge night, like use the chaos to set off a dirty bomb or poison water supplies ect.
>>71598919
>I critically analyze popcorn flicks
holy shit dude did you expect it to be award-winning or something
>>71600642
>do they ever explain why businesses are ok with the millions of dollars of damage being done to stores and property?
Paul Krugman was right again
>>71610810
Pretty sure you present your evidence in court.
>>71610678
Also, think about this: you're saying that you can't do anything on Purge day that extends into the future. So you can't steal money, because you have the money tomorrow. You can't become president, because you're a fake president tomorrow. You can't steal anything because you have it tomorrow, and by anything this means any possession, any contract, any social or economic position, literally anything that you can have.
So where does that leave us? Murder and rape? Can't rape anyone, you leave your cum in them. Can't murder anyone, you leave your bullets in them.
See the problem with that logic? If an act was legal when committed, then obviously the consequences of the act would have to be legal into perpetuity, or the act itself isn't really legal in the first place.
>>71601053
if your aim is to kill americans, why not do it at the best opportunity?
>people commit crimes just for fun and if we let everyone kill strangers once a year there'd be no crime the rest of the year
>>71610937
There has to be a certain amount of evidence and probable cause before charges can be put forth. The police don't arrest people and go to court based on a simple accusation.
There is a difference between one action taking place in the 12 hour time and trying to hold a 4 year elected position.
>>71601918
no, not at all
they're walking down the street and just see some guys with a bunch of victims' bodies and one guy gets their head chopped off
it's just violence for violence's sake
>>71602065
who says you need bombs or bio weapons to commit terrorism? smuggle in a bunch of fully automatic rifles and just go nuts, killing everybody from block to block.
i don't know what the day after the purge is like, but it'd probably be pretty easy, due to no police presence, to put a bunch of bombs in key locations (like the National Mall, which is apparently unprotected) and create massive amounts of damage to both lives and property
>>71610991
>There is a difference between one action taking place in the 12 hour time and trying to hold a 4 year elected position.
What about the rest of the post though?
>>71607543
I don't think most people commit crime to get their anger out. Never mind that the only people who would need to be purged during the Purge are the ones who are going out to purge. They prove themselves to be the real dangers to society.
Plus in a real Purge situation, the only ones out on the streets would be murderers. Even if you wanted to steal some shit, you wouldn't risk your lives going outside to do so when there are killers running about. So those who need money would still steal shit every other day of the year.
>>71610951
because the aim of terrorists isn't 'to kill americans'
>>71611132
Rape and murder are still singular acts not on going actions. Now in the case of rape if they can prove paternity you may be on the hook for child support but still would not be charged with rape.
You can steal anything you want because theft is still a singular act. Now in the case of things like vehicles you'll have a hard time registering it due to lack of bill of sale, and if a cop pulled you over they would probably impound the car and return it though you still wouldn't be charged with the theft.
Anything else you don't understand about our legal system?
>>71610292
What also bugs me is that they don't show people with enough money leaving the country en masse for the night. Hell, most people would probably save up all year even if they were poor for a ticket out of the USA that night.
>>71611152
Plus if the police wouldn't protect people private security companies would just take their place, they're already popular in cities with high crime rates IRL.
>>71611233
Maybe there's some bullshit rule about border patrol not allowing anyone to leave the country. Only explanation for it.
>>71611233
hell I'd just go camping in the woods for 12 hours
>>71610937
I don't think you're following what I'm saying. The fraud is a separate crime from the forgery. For twelve hours, nothing counts. Steal a bunch of money, at 7 a.m. it doesn't matter where the money came from. The fact that the papers were made during the grace period means nothing after the fact, since you're attempting to say you're someone you aren't. That is the fraud and that's the crime. The purge doesn't magically erase people's memories. Your paper saying you are the rightful president of the US has zero weight, since everyone in the country knows who the president is.
>>71611221
>>You can steal anything you want because theft is still a singular act.
Except it's not. Steal a factory? You're in the same boat as stealing the presidency.
So what you're saying is that the only things you can steal are tiny little things that don't really participate in any other socioeconomic systems, like a lawnmower. (and possession of stolen goods is still a thing with them!)
>>71611265
There'd be enormous underground groups funneling people out.
Also, do other countries just not give a fuck? There would be huge backlash if America decided to do something like that. Never mind that nobody would have really voted for it to happen because nobody wants to be in danger of dying even for one night every year.
>>71611282
>The fact that the papers were made during the grace period means nothing after the fact, since you're attempting to say you're someone you aren't.
But you legally are, since you have legal papers with full legality that say you are.
If it doesn't matter where the money came from, obviously it doesn't mater where the contract/papers/whatever other legal documents came from either.
>>71611300
>Except it's not. Steal a factory?
Once again, you're going back to things like a car. The factory has a business licenses, deeds to the property, tax filings, etc.
>So what you're saying is that the only things you can steal are tiny little things that don't really participate in any other socioeconomic systems, like a lawnmower.
Things that do not require on-going proof of ownership with the government, yes.
>>71611282
>The purge doesn't magically erase people's memories. Your paper saying you are the rightful president of the US has zero weight, since everyone in the country knows who the president is.
The purge doesn't erase your neighbor's memory of owning the lawnmower either. The fact that it's in your yard now has zero weight, since your neighbor knows it's his lawnmower.
>>71598919

They're at war with us. Their only objective is to defeat us.
They currently do that by
1) Killing us in big and newsworthy attacks
2) Recruiting other Muslims to join them
I don't know how many die in a random Purge, but imagine terrorists killing 10,000 people via a mass attack during the purge.
That would be extremely newsworthy and would recruit others to their cause with the basic line of "it's easy for us to do this on their own turf and they can't legally stop us"
>>71611330
And when you try to make the claim of being President the next day you will have to fight it in court and you will lose due to lack of evidence for your claim compared to the evidence the real president has.

hence the definition of terror, it's unexpected and terrifying. if it's just piling on top of a bunch of other mayhem it won't get any attention, which is important to terrorist cells for funding. it actually would be stupid for terrorist to commit acts on purge day. but the whole concept of the movie is so stupid there's no point in thinking about it this hard
do you think most terrorist activity is just from sociopaths who want to kill people? it's a calculated strategy of war
>>71611349
Interesting, so what we now got to is that ownership of some things is not the same as ownership as other things. There is ownership, and then there is ownership.
But come on, since everything's digital now, just assume that I simply changed the factory owner's name on literally everything that had it into my name. Would he still have the option to sue me the day after the Purge? If so, see below:
>>71611380
>>And when you try to make the claim of being President the next day you will have to fight it in court
Why won't I have to fight my neighbor's claim to his lawnmower then?
>>71611365
At best if the neighbor has proof that it belongs to him like a signed warranty he could get the police to return it to him but you would still not be charged with theft.
Again, when it comes to theft it all boils down to what proof of ownership can be provided after the purge.
>>71611373
This alone would get purge night abolished after the very first one.
>>71611441
>use purge night to set up your attack so no one notices you stealing guns or placing bombs ect
>actually initiate it during a normal day for maximum impact
allah akbar
>>71611448
>There is ownership, and then there is ownership.
There is owning something and then there is proving that you own something.
>Would he still have the option to sue me the day after the Purge? If so, see below:
Sure in civil court and whoever can provide more evidence for ownership would win.
As for the lawnmower, see >>71611449
>>71598919
Look at that disguised hexagram on the mask of Liberty.
Fucking Jews.
>>71611449
>At best if the neighbor has proof that it belongs to him like a signed warranty he could get the police to return it to him but you would still not be charged with theft.
What good is Purge then if you can't enjoy the spoils of war so to speak? Steal a million dollars and the next day they just get returned, you just get a get out of jail free card?
Oh wait, you don't, because there's a billion laws regarding stolen property, money, etc. that you've broken since the Purge ended by merely thinking about it, much less having it in your possession. You can't even spend it without committing a crime.
So we're back to the concept of the crime's consequences having to be legalized too if this was to make any sort of sense.
>>71611502
>Sure in civil court and whoever can provide more evidence for ownership would win
I imagine any cases revolving around damages during the purge would be dismissed instantly. Then again, civil court is different from criminal court.
>>71611524
Again, only applies to things where ownership can be proved in court. So don't steal things with a paper trail. Cash would be fine since it's untraceable to a single person.
>>71611549
But by planning that, you're conspiring to commit a crime already.
Let's say your neighbor annoyed you the whole year with his stupid lawnmower lawsuit, so the next year you decide to kill him. Unless you do the entire thing in 12 hours (plan it, buy the gun, kill him, dispose of the body, dispose of the gun), you're guilty of some murder-related crime by default if any part of this whatsoever extended to before or after the Purge and I'm pretty sure there are some thoughtcrimes related to murder that you'll be guilty of even if you manage to do it in time.
>>71608053
>Most crime is done because someone need money to live
>>71611626
Conspiracy to commit crimes have a very specific set of conditions and terms. Simply thinking about committing a crime is not conspiracy.
>>71611524
>What good is Purge
Murder. That's ultimately what it's about. These long term plans people seem to be making are missing the point. The purge is about doing something within twelve hours and it vanishing afterwards. Steal a fuckton of money? You're still paying taxes on it or you're in jail for tax evasion. Steal a bunch of guns? You'd better get a license for them once the clock expires or you're sitting on felony levels of unlicensed firearms. Steal a car? It's not insured by you or plated in your state.
It's just for murder. Trying anything else is pointless.
>>71607251
So much this
Fucking disgusting backwards christians. Makes me absolutely sick to the stomach that they're still allowed to exist in this day in age. We could have had a technological utopia by now if it weren't for those fucking bible thumping freaks that are scared of men having sex with other men's buttholes. Racial tensions only exist now because of backwards white christians afraid of anything that isn't them, and now they want this fucking hitler like freak drumpf into power and they may just get him. We're going to be set back another 50 years in terms of race relations because of sexist, racist, homophobic, insecure white christians.
Sorry, thinking about christians really pisses me off. If it were up to me, I'd enforce atheism nationwide and imprison anyone that does not obey. The world would truly be a better place if everyone were atheist.
>>71611655
And that's actually the plot of the series; That the Purge was created specifically to kill low income people because they are a drag on the economy.
it was never intended to be for theft or personal gain.
>>71611687
>specifically to kill low income people because they are a drag on the economy.
But they are literally who the entire economy relies on to function.
>>71598919
I read there were weird rules like you would get fined for property damage the next day if you caused any?
The first movie had an interesting concept, but it seemed terribly executed.
>>71611710
Look, this is the future and the movie world not ours. And even in the movie not everyone believes this, it's just what the Founding Fathers push.
It's the plot, I didn't say it was reality.
>terrorist attack day before purge
>candlelight vigils and facebook profile pic filters for solidarity
>next day everyone kills each other like usual
also where are all the pedophiles and rapists in the purge films?
also do hospitals still run
>>71611773
>also where are all the pedophiles and rapists in the purge films?
They're out raping. Or they're doing what 99% of people do and hide.
>also do hospitals still run
No. All emergency services are suspended until 7 a.m. the next day.
>>71607543
Not really.
Blowing off steam like that is a hell of a high.
Give people that taste and their just going to be itching to feel that again. Eventually they aren't going to be able to wait until Purge Day.
Big enough non-Purge release like that and you could trigger a chain reaction where everyone decides that they're going to make their own Purge Day and just start doing whatever the fuck they want.
>>71611773
>also where are all the pedophiles and rapists in the purge films?
In the NC-17 version of the film.
>>71598919
Terrorism is to incite terror onto people. If people are already in a state of terror, why would terrorists bother themselves doing anything? Their efforts would go unseen.
>>71602656
They kill all the poor and working class people.
2 weeks later the country's economy collapses because they killed off the people who work, and as a result spend money, for a living.
this movie is stupid
it only utilizes its premise to take advantage of the whole "killing without repercussion" scenario
it could be expanded into so much more, but they only limit themselves to shitty horror with the blood and the killings
>>71611655
>Reporting stolen money to the irs
>needing a license for firearms
>>71612006
Yeah just keep that shit in a safe, take the cash out and spend it as needed. And for the gun you pretty much only need it on Purge day so no point in registering it.
>>71612006
>In Washington, D.C., all firearms must be registered with the police, by the terms of the Firearms Control Regulations Act of 1975.
>>71608889
Not even contributing to the conversation, but you're retarded. They're criticizing the plot of the movie, not bitching and moaning about triggering events in the movie.
Now go back to r*ddit you fucking pleb
>>71612049
So I keep the gun in my gun safe and only take it out during the 12 hours of the Purge. What are they going to do?
i'm so hype for this cape
the 2nd wasn't as good as the 1st but this one looks better.

SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF
holy shit, this board wanks over fucking Norse/Kryptonian gods being real and somehow this is too much to handle
>>71612203
Those aren't set in the real world. This one supposedly is.
I wish they would add more interesting characters, like neutrally good vigilanties
Notice all these movies happen in nice "liberal" cities? Try this shit in Texas and see what happens
>Nogs and spics think they're gonna murder and loot
>Texas Militamen setup in every town and enforce safety.
>>71612252
places like san antonio would basically be a twelve hour three way gunfight between texans, mexicans, and blacks. Last team standing gets the city.
>>71612219
>Purge "no-law" means vigilante justice is also legal
>Purge movie where a vigilante spends non-Purge days investigating his targets and making plans
>Purge day arrives and he enacts those plans, having 12 hours to eliminate as many of his targets as possible
Actually, this could be a decent plot for a Purge video game.
>>71612284
More like
>Mexicans kill Blacks
>Then chill with Texans
>>71612284
And I'm beating on the Texans.
>ITT: people don't understand the concept of an allegorical premise
It's not meant to be realistic. This reminds me of the Snowpiercer threads complaining about how unrealistic the premise was for that, as though somehow that film was in any way pretending to be a realistic depiction of the future.
>>71612394
>implying this is somehow allegorical
don't be fucking retarded
>>71607251
>Muslims who never operated slavery in a large scale like the Atlantic slave trade Christians controlled
Lol take your own advice and read a history book:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_slave_trade
>"between the 8th and 19th century 10 to 18 million people were bought by Arab slave traders..."
Compare that to:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_slave_trade
>"A database compiled in the late 1900's put the figure for the transatlantic slave trade at more than 11 million people..."
>"Olivier Pétré-Grenouilleau has put forward a figure of 17 million African people enslaved."
Also it's notable that the Arab slave trade lasted over a millennia, and ended through outside forces, where's the transatlantic slave trade lasted a few hundred years, and was ended by the same civilization that started it, prominent ones being Christian, most notably, and the most significant person in the fight against it being William Wilberforce, who was Anglican:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Wilberforce
>>71612460
Take your own advice
>>71612505
>>"Olivier Pétré-Grenouilleau has put forward a figure of 17 million African people enslaved."
Meant to put this under the Arab slave trade
>>71607251
>and the Muslims who never operated slavery in a large scale like the Atlantic slave trade Christians controlled
Dude, I'm liberal but that's just bullshit. Muslims participated in wide-spread slavery in Africa, Europe, and Asia for centuries.
>>71612505
>>71612560
The original Purge movie was shit because I actually thought the black guy was a decoy; he was working with the Purgers so that he could sucker a family into letting him in as their Trojan horse.
Anarchy was sorta cool because it reminded me of those survival thrillers from the late 70's to the late 80's era.
The 3rd film was plain awful. If I'm to believe that this is some dystopic USA that allows crime to go rampant because of neo-fascists, why even bother with elections anymore?
>>71612558
nice comeback m8
why don't you try a real argument next time
>>71612688
>If I'm to believe that this is some dystopic USA that allows crime to go rampant because of neo-fascists, why even bother with elections anymore?
The illusion of freedom. People are happy as long as they believe that they have a choice.
>>71612589
Read the fucking wiki articles, the quote is from the Arab slave trade one
>>71598919
Haven't seen this film, but I saw the first one and srsly fuck that movie. I would have slaughtered the shit out of the neighbors if they tried pulling that on me.
It's a stupid premise that completely falls apart the second you begin to examine it.
>>71598919
This movie is so anti-right it's insane.
>church scene full of nothing but white people listening to a sermon about the purge
>bad guys are a bunch of white supremacists
>the anti NFFA group is basically BLM, where they kill rich people
>the woman (who is obviously meant to be Hillary) wants to fight the system and change America
>the people that are pro Purge are almost all unhinged white people
Other than that, there are so many more things wrong with this movie
>the two black girls that were trying to break into the deli was some of the worst acting I've seen in my life
>the guy protecting the presidential candidate has unlimited magazines in his jacket
>>71610934
Oh I am laffin
>>71612588
This, and the Atlantic slave trade was only possible through the existing networks of the Arab slave trade
>>71612813
Which is sad because the first two, while just ok, were pretty apolitical. The first was just a home invasion thriller and the second a straight up action.
But of course in an election year someone has to make a stupid ham-fisted political statement.
If I was a fed, I would probobly hate Donuts.
I would instead spend my time baiting virgin 4 chan and Oh boy, I would be Perfection Incarnate.
>>71612867
The first one had some cringy commentary about how rich people are evil (killers are spoiled rich kids who hate homeless people, main characters neighbors hate him because he makes money off of selling them security systems) and the second one had more anti-rich stuff and also ended with some weird anti-government thing where it turns out the Purge isn't killing enough people so government death squads roam the streets. Whole series is retarded.
>>71613357
Sure the first had that message but it wasn't so hamfisted that it can't work. They at least didn't go full retard like the last one.
