How realistic are these movies? I know the premise is bullshit but if crime were legal for one day, how accurate would these be to what would really take place?

Not at all.
It would happen once and financial crime would have horrible consequences, possibly worldwide, and it would never happen again.
Alo, the first was the only one that somehow tried to be "realistic", Anarchy and election Years are bsically weird "dystopian" 80s movies, except done in this decade.

1% or5% unemployment would be really "not good".

also couldn't really keep up with all the people dying

the movie is PURE KINO,

They try to put an exception on politicians, but that couldn't be enforceable.
Also, i doubt any world power would allow the united states to do this. The latest movie confirmed that there wasn't a world catasporhe that prevented other countries from doing something about this.

The idea of people doing "murder tourism" is pretty cool though

>yfw it did happen
At some point in the early 20th century, you could go to Macao to smoke all the opium you wanted, find a prostitute and mureder her (or him) once you were done.
Some say it happened in colonial Africa up until the 60s and still happens.

I am not an expert, but I am pretty sure there wouldn't be roaming gangs of masked villains and religious zealots every fucking where.

The most murders would probably be committed by gang members, a handful of blue collars, and probably a heavy toll throughout the rural south (there you might find religious zealots) but believe it or not, murder being illegal isn't the major reason people don't kill each other.

The major crimes would be theft and assaults, and probably a large number of rapes and sexual assaults, drugs would be everywhere (imagine Woodstock in the streets) and most likely illegal porn, like bestiality and child, would sell like hot cakes.

So really, if Purge was real, there would be very little killing compared to the drug, porn and theft crimes being committed.

pretty much. the real issue would be looting (just look at how bad it can get in a protest, imagine if people knew where and when they could loot without any trouble), illegal trade, not to mention a lot of businesses would take this opportinuty to steal from their competitors or impair them, any hacker on steroids or a trader gone wild could prepare his scheme and go make a couple millions (at the very lest) by fucking up with the stock exchange, etc.
the movies are dumb because they assume the only crimes that matter are violent crimes while in an actual scenario like this, that would be the opposite.

I imagine most stores that can afford it would turn their places into fortresses to lock down on purge night, and the small stores would get broken into. Embezzlement would go through the roof on that night, since every banker, CEO and business man worth his salt would be throwing numbers around like no ones business.

I honestly believe if purge night actually happened, the city wouldn't turn into a fucking warzone of marauding murder gangs, it would become a huge fucking concert/riot, with music blasting, drugs being done right out in public, orgies right there on the street, lots of brawls, and occasional deaths (mostly from ODing, people being stupid, and, as I said, gang violence) but all in all it would just be a massive party. I could see the people looking forward to purge night just so they can get drunk off their ass, high out of their head, bang some high schoolers and just party.

Fires would be started everywhere and burn out of control as no one would put them out

The damage done on purge night would take over a year to repair

get off the tubes kreugman

in detroit you have 30% of getting caught if you murder someone

literally nothing would happen if police took a day off. you would have to measure it with statistics and to plenty of research to notice
>>
>>71606373
The major issue I see is, no one would actually follow the rules of Purge. You'd still have cops and paramedics out there trying to stem any kind of violence or injury that may occur, simply because it's their nature to help people, even if they are off the job. You don't work as someone who helps and rescues people's lives for a living and just go "oh yeah, they say crimes legal, so I'm just gonna sit at home and watch tv"

any links?

>>71603683
Not realistic at all.
Women would literally be raped on sight
>>
If you really wanted to kill a shit ton of people, just spend Purge night driving around, setting fire to stuff. No firefighters, everybody's locked in their apartments.
By daybreak you'd have killed thousands, and the fire would be so big and widespread it'd take weeks to stop it. One person could destroy an entire city
>>
>>71603683
Not even slightly realistic

I know it's hard to believe, but the overwhelming majority of people do not wish to kill anyone unless in self-defense, and even then there are a lot of pussies who even think killing in self-defense is wrong.

However, there would be a shitload of looting/vandalism/rioting
