What would you do in a Purge?

Sabre0001 · 05-07-2018 09:36AM #1

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!)

Hector Bellend · 05-07-2018 09:39AM

Import enough cocaine to start an international drug empire.

Offer substantial discounts to AH for coke and hookers

SilverTom · 05-07-2018 09:39AM

Wash my car

Wheety · 05-07-2018 09:40AM

How would you try your hand at cyber crime?

razorblunt · 05-07-2018 09:41AM

Park on double yellows.

Mint Sauce · 05-07-2018 09:41AM

See how fast my car can REALLY go.

Double barrelled hosepipe watering the sh1t out of the garden.

Hector Bellend · 05-07-2018 09:48AM

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

Tabnabs · 05-07-2018 09:48AM

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.

nigel_wilson · 05-07-2018 10:24AM

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.

Gunmonkey · 05-07-2018 10:28AM

Something about a Lidl, a JCB and some bread!

Hande hoche! · 05-07-2018 10:28AM

Watch the Purge movies on Film 4.

You'd rape someone?

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?

Kill Bono, and for the day thats in it I'd fcuk that silverspoon socialist Bob Geldof into a wood chipper..

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

Head straight for Dublin City centre, get rid of every junkie.

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.

05-07-2018 10:41AM

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.

The Backwards Man · 05-07-2018 10:41AM

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".

Feisar · 05-07-2018 11:01AM

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.

As is reflected here. This was near me at that time

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.

LirW · 05-07-2018 11:05AM

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?!

Infini · 05-07-2018 11:06AM

**** that **** Id be on a plane out of there and wouldnt be back if that was legal. Cant get me if Im not there! :P

The only thing stopping you is the law? Jaysus!
