re: The Purge

There is some background that is left out. Obviously there was some kind of breakdown and rebellion. The "new" founding fathers came up with the concept to get of the riff raff and lazy people. Plus they could be harder on crime (zero tolerance) if they allowed people one night a year to live it out. It's not plausible now, but in a few decades, who knows where overpopulation, pollution and poverty might get us.

Btw, the new purge movie looks pretty awesome.. LINK . I like that it is a whole new cast and storyline..
