Jun. 7th, 2013 09:40 amSo this movie 'The Purge' is supposed to be set in a future America where once a year you get twelve hours in which just about any crime is legal, from what I've been able to glean from a couple of sources.
All I can think is that I had a great-grandfather who successfully defended himself in court against charges of high treason against the crown of England and a similarly generational grandfather (I forget how many greats) who died of jumping out a brothel window to escape the police at age 94, so how do I go about living up to either of their examples.
I may not be the target audience.
(Alternatively: "So does this mean that once a year Utah suddenly gets three-ring binders full of marriage licenses issued to the same man but multiple different women? Or does it not cover that kind of OH WAIT ONCE AGAIN I AM MISSING THE SOCIAL COMMENTARY POINT.")
("... also how would this have affected Bernie Madoff and the various scandal ridden banks if they'd just timed things a little.... never mind, shutting up now...")
