So, my daughter calls me at like midnight last night FREAKING OUT because she's heard of a Purge Threat near Columbus, OH.
I guess some assholes are emulating the movie(s) "The Purge" & there are fliers up in some areas creating some major panic for people living nearby.
This article explains the idiocy...

But seriously, I felt bombarded by her panic & wasn't even aware of this. I didn't quite know how to respond, except to reassure her that police are most likely aware of these fliers and that this would not be the first time that some idiots would try to imitate a movie, etc.... Probably not the the best time to goof around the 'hood past dark or during this supposed "purge".
But, she was like inconsolable for a bit! I guess to a kid, the concept from a movie attempting to be played out irl seems quite scary.
Anyone heard of this??.
Also, I've read a lot of comments. Can anyone recall a time in history when there was truly a lift of the law & total lawlessness was "allowed" for a certain period of time??
