The Purge 3: Kentucky Fried Anarchy

http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/877151-louisville-purge-kentucky-threats-based-on-movie-being-taken-seriously-by-police/
So, some backstory for one:
The Purge: Anarchy (if you haven't seen it/heard of it) is a horror movie in which in some Dystopian future, all crime is legal and encouraged for 1 time a year for 12 hours each, the only rules being: No killing high ranking govt. officials and no weapons like Rocket Launchers or above.

The actual stuff:
About a day or two ago, people in Louisville, Kentucky, began posting flyers of a real life "Purge" going on in and around the city.
After taking off on Social Media, similar stories and fliers have been posted in California, St. Louis, Detroit, Chicago, Jacksonville, and Miami. Obviously, as with most widespread threats, the police is taking this as a serious problem.

So, what do you think NSG? Is this just a prank gone to far, or is this something more?

I personally think there might be some vandalism in the small amount of people who do it, but nothing much that a happy window repair company and some spray-paint remover can't fix.

I approve of this thread's name.

To answer the question, nothing big will happen. Most people are too big of pusses to do anything.

People will petition to do something, the govt will say they cant, there will be a protest, protest will lead into violence, police will come in to end protests.

From what I read it reads more like people are just doing that for shits and giggles.

If you thin a purge would work, you need help...because it wouldn't, its just as stupid as Lucy (Well not really, if we count that Dolphins and echolocation thing, the the purge comes in second.)

On that note, Hollywood, when you make a movie with a scientific basis mixed in, make sure the idea actually makes fucking sense, or has any grounding in the field of science is in.

Setting, and the expansive background to why the system of forced catharsis came in to place have been ignored because of the movie's plot *sigh*.

In my opinion, anything scyfy does with sharks is no longer original after mega shark, mecha-shark, and their many battles with different dinosaurs :P

It worked in the movie because the U.S was not a republic in the slightest anymore. aAtleast following the second U.S Constitution being implemented.

It was not the people who implemented the purge :P it would be counter effective to leave it to the common citizenry.

I'd buy a few assault rifles, buy a plane ticket to New York, round up a posse of commies, and then raid the houses of the superrich and burn Wall Street to the ground. :p

But seriously, if all the poor people banded together, we could wipe out the rich and end this once and for all!
