Release the beast

[Søren]

This weekend could possibly see a real-life version of the popular film The Purge being carried out by people seeking to emulate the movie. Details have emerged about the threat of a real scenario based on the film, and there have multiple fliers threatening purges around the country as well. The so-called Louisville, KY purge is scheduled to begin this Friday night and continue until Saturday morning. This is according to fliers that have been posted at various locations around Louisville. The rumors began on social media, specifically Twitter, with the threats flying around the site, which is most popular with teens. Police quickly took notice and, while they hold out hope that the whole thing is a prank, they say the promise of a real-life purge is no laughing matter.

Police in both Louisville and Jeffersonville, Ind., said they are aware of the "Louisville Purge" threats circulating on Twitter and will have officers ready to respond.
In the movie, a mob kills people during a fictitious 12-hour period where all criminal activity becomes legal.
Louisville police spokesman Sgt. Phil Russell said the police "take any threat that would incite violence on our community seriously."
He said their investigation has not identified any specific threats; they have only come across general information that goes along with crime that happened in the movie.
However, Russell said with the trend in the nation of mob violence and violent outbreaks, "it would be prudent for us to monitor it and to be ready for any possibility."

Let's hope nobody dies.

You know you're creatively bankrupt when your source of inspiration is a shitty Michael Bay movie. Let's also not forget a healthy dose of classic pants on head retardation when you plan relies on the police ignoring your antics when in the real world, they'll be doing the exact opposite of that.

This better be a stupid viral marketing scheme or trolls from SA or something.

I saw this earlier as someone is spamming 4chan with threads about it. I doubt that this will get any rape-burn-pillage mobs out and the worst case scenario is someone getting paranoid over this and shooting at people they think are a threat.

The difference here between real life and that stupid movie is that crime is still illegal no matter how much they want to call it a purge.

Other than the one guy in the sequel wearing that mask, how is this a religious topic? Or are you referencing the common argument that everyone would act like this if atheism were widespread?

What a pile of twaddle.  Why react every time teens try to provoke?  It's what teens do.  In the real world these acne cases couldn't purge a comatose person afflicted by constipation.

@ Old Viking: I am willing to bet good money people said something similar about Harris and Klebold, and look where it got them.

Well, it looks like tonight's the night - lets see what, if anything, happens.

This is pathetic. Probably a couple teens thinking they're so hilarious trying to scare people.

[ironbite]

The best part is they think the cops are gonna go along with this.

Ironbite-nah kid...they won't.

7:55 - WE SHALL NOW COMMENCE THE ANNUAL PURGE - FOR 24 HOURS, ALL CRIME IS POORLY INVESTIGATED, AND DETROIT WILL SIMPLY BE ITSELF /computermonotonefromthemovie/

In all seriousness, now that I'm thinking about it, I doubt anyone will do anything tonight they wouldn't have done any other night in Lousville.

Hof's been trolling tumblr users with that shit.

Ironbite-and he called me a queer.

[niam2023]

Wait, isn't inciting extreme violence in Detroit, oh, I dunno, the very definition of redundant?

Oh, don't you worry. It is a hoax.

I feel like the only who has bothered to even attempt to debunk this with proof and confirmation.
