Location: Kentucky | What is this world coming to! Threats on social media are saying that people are talking of a real life purge in Louisville KY tomorrow night 8/15 from 8pm-630am. Tomorrow starts the KY State Fair also. Prayers that this is just some dumb kids trying to play a joke and think it is funny. My sister lives in Louisville and said it has been all over the news.

Location: SE Louisiana | I think it would be a great way to weed out the culls in our society. If they want to behave like rabid animals, the people should be allowed to treat them accordingly.

What does this have to do with race? Sounds like a bunch of morons trying to re-enact a scary movie to me |

Location: South Central Florida | What do they mean by purge? Kill people? I'm not sure I understand, are white people talking about killing black people or the other way around? Or just purging criminals? I don't think any of it's real. Just kids talking would be my guess. |

"....The Purge film is centered on a 12 hour period which is selected by the government where there are no laws that are enforced and any type of crime can be committed...."
In other words... any given day in some cities..
Nothing about racial crimes being the only ones either allowed or disallowed.. |

Location: Kentucky | I work in Louisville and live 20 minutes away. The State Fair started on Thursday, August 14th. The only place I've heard of this "Purge" BS is on social media. The news hasn't mentioned it. I'm sure they don't want people panicking. It's a total hoax.
In the movie "The Purge" the government allows people to do what they want. In real life, it's called breaking the law, murder, etc. |

Location: Charlestown, IN | I work in Louisville but thankfully live in IN. They are talking about it on the news but keep assuring the public that the police are prepared etc. They did say to stay in your homes from 8-630 because they'd rather people be safe than sorry. We had a mob of youth back in March attack several people downtown. There was no warning. That's what I don't understand about this, why are they telling us when it's going to happen? Criminals aren't usually that dumb......... |

Location: Kentucky | I am hoping and praying this is just a hoax but with the way people act now a days I wouldn't put it past some people to act on this. It has been on the news and the police are taking this very seriously. All you have to do is google "Louisville Purge" and its all over the place. You best believe if I lived in Louisville I would be hiding tonight LOL I would dig a hole and stay there with my pistol until morning  . No sleep would be had either |

I watched Fox 41 from 5:00-9:00 this morning. No mention of it. It's all over Facebook though. I agree with Stacey - why would they "announce" it? The youth gang went wild without saying a word prior. It's just to put people in a panic. Apparently it's working. |
