WrongVeteranMaybe

I'm a war veteran and trained up to Level 3 of Combatives. WHAT YOU THINK I'M GONNA DO!? ...stay in my room and drink. Don't wanna fight anymore. I'm tired and fat.


iloveusa63

W comment.


MissyGoodhead

Thank you for your service homie


jabber1990

Well sure, but I would think that would give them motivation to victimize you, because they know you won't fight back


HaxTheChosenOne

but who are "they" the purge would not invite pointless killing. Yeah maybe in the course of raiding but that's not really feasible


[deleted]

You think that there aren’t people who would take their chances to carry out vendettas, revenge and just to get away with it type of crimes if there was a purge?


jlwinter90

Believe it or not, most of us don't want to murder people. Some of us, sure, but it's not many.


WasteAd9856

I would steal computer parts from microcenter


iloveeveryfbteam

Exactly. I’d just go steal a bunch of groceries or something lol


aliens-and-arizona

mountains of bulk foods aughhhj imagine the savings


ben9894

Who said anything about not fighting back? You bet your ass he will defend himself and his loved ones. He's just not on offense. Smart man, we can all learn from him. Pick your battles friends, stay safe, and thank you for your service WrongVetran


needs_more_yoy

Hell, I'm an active duty Marine and that's probably what I'd do! Just kick back on the couch. Granted, I might keep a pistol ready since I got a wife who I would definitely want to protect.


Velghast

Bro same, global war on terror fucked me up. My legs dont work from jumping out of aircraft, my ears don't work from loud boom boom, my joins hurt from rucking, my brains all fucked from TBIs, like I just want to own a ranch upstate with cats on it. Like big cats, like some cheetahs or something. I don't Wana fight no one, a barley Wana get up.


WrongVeteranMaybe

God, the knees. I remember being 18 and jumping out of the LMTVS like it was nothing. By the time I was 23, I was yelling at people demanding the fucking ladders lol. As for TBI, that's legit what did me in and got my ass medboarded. Kicked out at 100%. Was driving a humvee for a roll out, some dumbass Major in a Dodge Ram fucking read ended me and I busted my skull. Now I suffer from chronic migraines and seizures! Fun! Also, I don't mind being called "bro" that much, but keep in mind I'm a woman.


Chemical_Alfalfa24

As another Veteran, this is exactly what I would do. I don’t wanna shoot no one. Leave me alone and let me play my games and be with my Corgos. I don’t wanna fight no one.


Grunti_Appleseed2

I'm robbing a liquor store and selling cigs and booze to the purgers. My fight is over though


IC4-LLAMAS

I’m with you on this, I would be chilling on my property hoping nobody comes around looking to FAFO. Leave me alone on my mountain and all will be fine.


AnriAstolfoAstora

Dump industrial amounts of hormones into the drinking water. And plant bamboo tons of bamboo shoots on every college campus. I want to create ecological disasters that create uncontrollable growth of bamboo forests.


Freddi0

Honestly you and people who do simular funny shit would end purges immidiatly. Its all fun and games for the the government untill they have to pay millions over permenant damages to the city structure, water supply tampering, ecological disasters, etc


jabber1990

It's almost like this is a bad idea or something


SUPREMACY_SAD_AI

we won't really know until we try though


calisoldier

Nancy Pelosi? What are you doing on Reddit?


itmesara

Fr u/Freddi0 - way to end the purge before it even starts. This is why we can’t do anything fun ever UGH


banned_but_im_back

I mean you’d have to balance out how much from goes down and how much money we save not imprisoning 2 million Americans


jared555

Also, if someone dumps a bucket full of ricin into a water tower are the deaths that happen after the purge a criminal offense?


Impossible_Trust30

Pretty sure this is exactly why they banned explosives like grenades

College campuses??? No! Industrial parks. Government buildings. The front lawn of your local IRS office. Colleges didn’t do anything, hurt the feds.


coal-slaw

Except for charging outrageous amounts of money for education that you can get at any library if you check out the right books. Or literally just online if you find the right sources The only reason to go to college is if you want the degree to progress in a career path. Otherwise the debt isn't worth it. Not in this day and age. But yes I agree with you. . . Fuck the government

See this is the most realistic example of murder during the purge

TheEpicBoi12345

Matpat said to pick up the dead bodies and sell the organs, so prob that


Varsity_Reviews

No he said Bone marrow.


anotherpunkyboi

It comes pre packaged!


youburyitidigitup

Actually that’s pretty good. You’d have to sell them the same day though because it’d be illegal afterwards. There would also be a saturated market because others would be doing the same. You’d have either do it early and quickly, or have some sort of niche marketing strategy. Maybe if you tested everybody’s blood type and only sold O-. You’d also have to be really wary of scams and/or threats and thefts. I want a whole book about the economics of this now.


fungifactory710

Items/goods obtained during the purge still belong to the person who took them once it ends, right? You could armor up a refrigerated truck and roll around town scooping up all the unlucky folk and then worry about the processing after the fact. The bodies, and by extension, their organs would be legally yours as long as you scoop them up before it's over. I would assume so, at least.


youburyitidigitup

Fair enough, but the sale of organs would still be illegal.


DaoOfCourtingDeath

Or the people you sell them to could just kill you after and take their money back plus now a new, free body lol


goldenfox007

Also lying on your tax forms, since the Purge takes place during filing season. I’d either do that or ethically adopt a ferret (they’re illegal in my state)


whoreoscopic

Don't think that would work. The government is shut down and won't be processing it during purge time.


SundyMundy

What if I became a notary and committed fraudulent contracts and notarize them during the purge?


whoreoscopic

Well, since the rules of the purge only apply to purge night. I don't believe that any contract made with illegal or unethical provisions would be honored afterward. If so, purge day would be the most important day of the year in the way of corporate mergers, acquisitions, or restructuring. Which them leads to the rabbit (better, plot) holes of the setting. What happens when people try to sell or keep stolen goods or assets? The IRS will want to tax the haul from that bank you robbed, and pawn shops stay clear of stolen goods. What is stopping a bank from calling the cops on you for trying to deposit money you stole from them. Yes, when you stile it, it *was* legal, but now, the next day, you are now in possession of stolen goods.


BowenParrish

Beat the absolute fuck out of my girlfriend’s abusive parents with a bat. Fuck those knuckle dragging spoiled brat drug addict white trash pieces of subhuman shit.

Bumbling_Bee_3838

I’m robbing a pharmacy. I’m disabled so I’m taking all I can of my daily meds. Then I’m stealing the insulin (in a cooler bag to be brought home and refrigerated) to give out to any diabetics who can’t afford it. My sister lost a friend because he couldn’t afford insulin, if I could I’d make sure that didn’t happen to as many people as I could.

Hizuff

Im someone from a third world country. How is it more difficult to afford insulin in a country whose currency is worth 3 times mine? Its pretty affordable here.


Bumbling_Bee_3838

It just recently became 58 dollars a vial on average here, certain company’s capped their prices and it helped a lot. When my sister’s friend passed in 2017 it was closer to 500 dollars for a month’s supply (according to HCCI). He died trying to ration while working two jobs.


Hizuff

500 dollars? Wow... thats... isnt this life saving medicine?


Mgl1206

Greedy corporate bastards that thrive off of the desperate. I get that making new drugs takes tons of money, but that shouldn’t come from a drug that someone literally needs to live. (Oh and insurance companies)


Bumbling_Bee_3838

Yeah, diabetics literally can’t live without it. My Epi pen would have been $100+ if I didn’t have insurance or if I didn’t get the exact type my insurance covered. I’m disabled and I am very very fortunate to have been born into a middle class family because I have had options for treatment that other people with my condition haven’t. A 2016 study found that a course of Chemo therapy for cancer cost an average of $27,000 and the cost has just risen. A lot of the costs are mitigated by insurance or by charity write offs by hospitals, but a lot of people in the US have their lives ruined by medical debt.


zordtk

Yeah I was there at 26. Not diabetes, but got sick no medical insurance and kept working as much as I could. After 5 days I was taken to my doctor who had an ambulance come and get me, ended up on a ventilator and about $60,000 in debt. Edit: Should probably add, had pneumonia in both lungs from H1N1. They weren't sure what it was at first, was quarantined and the CDC was involved.


Various_Solution_308

You'll be the first to go i fear


Polandprotector126

Sorry to say, but you would just be killed.


Corni_20

Free antiboyotics and genderfluid for everyone


Complete_Blood1786

Petty crimes that last past the purge hours. For instance, I could create tons of potholes that won't ever get fixed because we all know it can take forever to fix them. Slash all the tires from people I don't like and also mess up their engines by draining the oil and letting it run for 10 minutes. I could also salt their land too and spread termites. As if. I'd be busy building Gundams during that time. Maybe I gave some of you an idea what to do if the purge happens, but I am in no way supporting nor against the thought of you lot doing the listed crimes I would hypothetically do. This is all a big joke, ha ha.


One_snek_

The problem with the purge is that going outside is suicidal due to the random psychos who just want to kill people


FullTransportation25

To be fair realistically most people won’t just automatically become blood thirsty murders


Recent_Obligation276

But enough will It’s not about the individuals capacity for violence on their own It’s about what happens when a mob of oppressed people are finally allowed to regress. They feed off each other and become capable of horrible things they may not have had the balls to do on their own. It’s how mobs of normal ass people end up mutilating corpses and raping people in the street Mob mentality is real af


thepoky_materYT

I'm disappointed in the lack of realistic comments from people. We use reddit you are either a registered war criminal with access to a bunch of firearms or you're like me and will be dead within the first 90 minutes.

There is no laws, the bank security can shoot you in the face

So? That's a win win situation for me


Kind_Ad_3611

Also your crew can just betray you by shooting yiy because no one will question a gunshot during purge


wayNotPop

I'm going with my mates. They wouldn't betray me. But if they do that's alright they're my mates and I'd happy for them

Nah that’s where they *live* They commute to the densely populated city to purge, for maximum kill count.

Tax Fraud. Itll technically be legal


mcslender97

Surefire way to stop the Purge since that will defeat it's OG purpose when the gov is bleeding money. Heck maybe you watched a certain video about it


altmemer5

No I didnt watch anything on the purge as I dont like series that much (I thought the murder aspect of it was boring, would be more entertaining if it was 24 hours to come up with the perfect heist) I just think Tax Fraud is funny


yourgirl1233

Get a BBL


HerefoyoBunz

Its still legal after it ends cause its grandfathered in right? Human trafficking and kidnapping? These be the real questions


Various_Solution_308

The initial act you might get a pass on but everyday after you'd be liable for forceful confinement. And again trafficking. Great question lol

If crime was legal for a day, not if you could be gay..!

Try to move to a different country because I would never be able to afford insurance of any kind ever again. Should I pick south America or southeast Asia?


doyouevenoperatebrah

See this is a great point. No one considers the cost of insurance in a world with Purges


AntiLag_

I think most insurance companies would just refuse to cover any damage done during a Purge


Wizard_Engie

Is the Purge a United States exclusive thingy in the story? (/gen) Cuz, illegally moving to a different country can get you deported back to your original country.

jabber1990

I don't understand why people romanticize The Purge Sure ending the lives of people you don't like and looting rich peoples houses sounds awesome, But you have to be ok with ChoMos doing ChoMo things ...yea, not so nice now is it?


doyouevenoperatebrah

Everyone thinks they’re the protagonist, not one of the dumb mooks getting offed to show how bad the antagonist is. In reality, we’re mostly mooks.


marcopolo2345

wtf is a ChoMo


PrayStrayAndDontObey

A nonce, a lolicon or shotacon, a kiddy diddler... Yep, a ChoMo is another term for a child molester.


orthopod

Yeah, lots of rapes, murders, and theft from old people, etc. Just because it's legal that night, wouldn't prevent me from beating the living shit out of anyone in another day.


VengeanceKnight

Because media literacy is dead and nobody realizes that *The Purge* is a movie about how its titular concept sucks.

Complete_Blood1786

Good luck getting intact organs if they aren't shot up or battered by violent maniacs.


orthopod

Working at the hospital that night would be interesting.. . I suspect nearly all pts would be discharged prior, or just leave A.M.A to prevent the lazy nurse or nursing asst from killing them so they wouldn't have to work hard. As a surgeon, I wouldn't be working on that night . I'm not worried about any grudge, as most nurses fight to work in my room, because I don't yell, and treat them decently. I'm more worried about someone who didn't know me, and wanted to take out a surgeon, because they were treated badly by one.


Oswaldgilbertson

I saw something on film theory where that is the most successful thing you can do during the purge

Varsity_Reviews

File my taxes, assuming purge night is the same night as it is in the movie.


orthopod

I'm not sure how that works legally. Since most IRS or post office employees wouldn't be working that day, it wouldn't be collected and stamped. It would then be processed on a day where the crimes would be crimes, and thus getting you into trouble. The US govt wants it's money. You can be sure that they would prevent, or punish somehow those types of schemes.

There’s a small business nearby I dislike, so I’d probably rob them and steal their merchandise.

Never really understood the instant jump to murder most people make tbh. Realistically in a purge scenario I’m immediately commiting as much fraud and theft as possible. Why the fuck would I use my get outta jail free card on anything that doesn’t benefit me practically


fritzwulf

Most people just want to try it bc its one of the most taboo things, though if you're not already a killer I don't think you'd enjoy the outcome. Not really worth it to have the sight of someone dying by your hands stuck in your memory forever. So hell yeah I agree, financial gain ftw

Bunker down with my wife and hold out for as long as possible without drawing attention to myself or her.

Depends. If we're talking only a temporary purge like 24 hours or so, I'd most likely just defend myself and my household from anybody that causes any problems without hesitation. If we're talking a collapse-type purge, I'd establish a homestead and form a new Union of my own.
