    I doubt people would admit to killing Bob the next day. But people would talk about the bullshit Bob made everyone put up with, and the motives leading to his death. And maybe that would curtail people doing bullshit on the daily.

    I expect that after the first few purges, most of the people missing afterwards would be the poor and vulnerable who aren’t able to defend themselves from the group who just want to kill.

      I haven’t ever seen any of The Purge movies but either I heard or just always assumed that’s why they all wear masks. Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean there aren’t social consequences.

        Yeah, if you kill a guy and brag about it, their next-of-kin just has to nurse that grudge until next Purge.
