What would you do in a Purge?

    All crime is legal for 24 hours? What would you do?

    The movies focus on murder; I'd probably wuss out, build a safe room, and try my hand at cyber crime and impersonating wealthy billionaires who need a dig out.

    If I HAD to go outside, try to "acquire" a sportscar or stock up on groceries (I know, madlad!)

    I'd take a dump off the top of the GPO to see what happens

    Absolutely no rule of law for 24 hours? I'd hide out in a halting site, bound to be empty of occupants for the duration.

    Seriously,

    I'd probably abduct someone and "have my way" with them. The only thing I fear is retribution from the family/boyfriend if he ever found out. I'm sure that I'd be brutally tortured even on the non-purge days due to how heinous my crime might seem.

    It would be nice in theory but you've got to remember, the thrill of crime is massively reduced as the safety of normality is taken away. It's not a case of being the predator and prey. If you let the guard down, you'll always be the prey.

    Its concerning that youre more worried about being beaten up than you are for the fact youd be kidnapping and raping an innocent person..

    So you would rape someone, you are really saying that? Do you plan on murdering them too? Any preferred age / gender?

    You should seriously consider going back to seeing your psychiatrist if thats the thing you think of.

    Isn't law what deters people from murder, rape, theft etc...? Don't people on boards complain about how lax Ireland laws are?

    I'm sure that I can't be the only one who wouldn't abduct/assault purely on the basis of legality.

    Basic human decency deters people from rape and murder. Law is needed for people like you it seems.

    Definitely not! Theft maybe, rape and murder no.

    If what you're saying is true, then you have some very serious issues.

    It's interesting how people can say they'd go and kill someone, eradicate whole swathes of people or feed a person into a wood chipper but the mention of sexual stuff drives us all over the edge. Rape is absolutely abhorred in this country and rightly so. This really throws a spanner in the works when mental cases try to insist we have a rape culture here in Ireland. We don't. It's hated.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    I'd call people out for the knobheads that they are.

    No... it is having morals that deters the great majority of people from rape and murder

    Rapists (and child killers) are the lowest of the low in prisons, they get attacked by other inmates.

    Leave the country and go live somewhere that doesn't require you to be ultra-rich to avoid being "purged".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,875 ✭✭✭Feisar


    Go somewhere as remote as possible and eat tinned food/read my Kindle for the 24 hours. For those that think they will go about marauding unless one lives that type of criminal lifestyle now it's unlikely to be a success. There are already armed criminal gangs, I'd be more worried about avoiding them than scoring myself a new Full HD Sony.

    And that's coming from someone with a plethora of guns and knives.

    First they came for the socialists...

    Rob a car.
    Ram a gun store.
    Rob the gun store, take ammo and weapons.
    Gather the extended family and elderly neighbours,
    Get them to my road ASAP and set up road blocks, overwatch positions and a safe room.
    Brief up those capable on their arcs of fire, quick plans and communications rules.
    Proceed to set up fall back positions.
    Wait out the storm, hope it passes without incident and return all guns and ammo anonymously.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,825 ✭✭✭LirW


    Book a holiday for the time of the purge, this sounds so stressful, I don't do stress.

    If I'd have to be around, I'd use the disabled parking spot in the Aldi carpark.


    Also get the Trebuchet I always wanted and test it, I'm sure medieval siege weapons aren't legal?!

    Semtex. Lots, and lots of Semtex.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.
