Real life purge? Did anyone hear about this "real life purge" that's supposed to happen in Louisville this weekend?

Hide ya wife hide ya kids.

Following out of curiosity.

?

Following.

I have some friends there I could text and ask. I think if I lived there, I'd be taking a trip this weekend! ?

That's pretty scary regardless :/

I read things were slightly better because the state highway patrollers were taking over. Since the animosity was against the police maybe this will help.

Sometimes.. I just hate people. Who would even joke about something like that?

The thing is, it's not a real life "purge". These idiots will get caught and go to jail for murder. It is a bunch of dumbasses looking to bring more violence to any already terrible situation. Violence doesn't do anything but bring in more pain and hurt. I wish there was a way to solve this peacefully, but I know it isn't going to happen. Policd brutality and racial profiling NEEDS TO STOP, but how we will get there... I am not sure anyone has the answer. People want their voices heard, but this is NOT the way to do it.

Zomg Murdock, great minds think alike.

If they're that d@mn bored with life, they should just download this app. Plenty of entertainment to go around.

No it's not, sadly innocent people may get hurt because of these people... OR they will end up hurt or dead by either the police or citizens trying to protect themselves. :-/

What spawned this? The stuff in ferguson? Or something else?

If anyone is stupid enough to think they can get away with something like this I say let them do it. Lock 'me up!

I live an hour and a half away from Louisville and with the idiots that live there I wouldn't doubt someone would try it. It's not a purge, it's just murder.

Found this article

It's being threatened in major cities across the country.

What is the purge ?

That's the dumbest thing ever. What are they going to do when they get arrested for REAL crimes?

On the news they were talking about it. They have a purge date too. Aug. 31st. I'm in jacksonville fl. They said they are taking it seriously and that the threat as been posted on social media mostly by teens that are part of a gang. Idk if I believe it will actually happen but i will be staying in my house.. People are crazy

@pp, I'm from Jax and asked my mom how they would know if it happened or not. It's already a war zone in parts of town.

Well, I hope for the sale of everyone, it's just some dumb prank.

I've been purging since 5 weeks and Im now almost 8 months and Im still purging. Lol

Come to St. Louis and ferguson mo. It's not the purge it's stupid riots and people destroying things. It's out of control!! I swear the purge could happen any minute here but luckily the law has it somewhat under control

This scares the crap out of me. ?

@mommatiffany where do you live?

I'm also a hour & half maybe more away from lousiville. I'm actually scared. Lol it's all over the news. Cops said they are already patrolling & will be taking all precautions this weekend.

The state fair is also happening in Louisville. It's a helluva big city and I'm praying if these people do try this that there are enough cops to cover and handle the situation. Scared for the city. Not cool. ?

I'm no where near there. But people in this town would probably be stupid enough to do this. Glad I got guns and plenty of rounds. Come through my door, I dare ya.

But seriously. This movie should have never been able to go on the big screen. It obviously caught the attention of the wrong people.

My childhood best friend lives in Louisville. Maybe I should talk to him, lol.

....

Can someone explain what this purge is to me? Clueless in Idaho....

The purge was a movie made recently where once a year for twelve hours all crime is legal. Murder, stealing, ect.

??

?

Seriously? So rape, molestation, child porn, ect would be legal too? Well that's f*** ing stupid. I don't know the situation down there, haven't been.paying attention to the news, but if they're doing that to try to teach the country a lesson, they're going about it in the wrong way. There are way to.many lives that could be devastated because of that :/

I mean, none of it wold be legal, that's why it isn't really a "purge"... But a bunch of dumb people have been saying they will go on a 12-hour crime spree (like in the movie) and that people need to watch out.

I called this to happen when the first one came out smdh

Lmfao first comment killled me. I was so excited for that movie more like ethan hawk. Than i was mad i paid to see it horrible

I real life "purge" is ridiculous. It is not the laws that keep us from doing those things. As a society we are better than that. There will always be immoral people who do bad things. But the majority of us are good, moral people beyond what the law requires of us.

I'm in Louisville. It's happening tonight. I'm listening to the police scanner and the town has lost its mind. People in masks with guns, teenagers assaulting people and home invasions

No way! Really pp?! ???

@Evilangel

Why is this your first post ever?

Please tell me you lost your mind.

@pink I see 95 comments & 4 friends?.... ?

Pp for real. Stay inside and lock ypur doors. That is so scàry!

My phone is crazy!

So is it true EvilAngel are you serious?

That's weird.

Well you should all download the Louisville scanner. My husband just did. He doesn't believe it.

You can download an out if town police scanner?.... ?

Yes, I am listening now.

If its real. Unless its pre recorded & not in real time.

But I hear nothing crazy a few intox, stolen bike, domestic calls.

What's the app called? I tried searching but didn't find it.

Hopefully it'll stay a trivial Friday night!

He googled the Louisville Purge and he clicked on site by accident and it said go to Louisville Police Scanner in real time.

It's real. Look up th local news it talks about police preparing for the purge and make sure it's Louisville metro police in ky. If not it will give you Louisville Colorado

Bet all the people against guns wish they had one now..

Don't think any of that shiit is going on here, but I have a 12g waiting if anyone tries.. Not to mention a house full of big dogs.

I understand news taking about prepping for the alleged purge. But you said people went bat sh!t crazy there. Give me a official confirmation that a purge has actually began! :)

Wow! I just opened my scanner app and it was the first one listed. It won't connect. It says feed is currently offline. Hmmm

Mine is scanner radio btw.

They found the kid that posted all the Louisville Purge online.

He did not get in trouble. Just apologized basically. 11pm News in Louisville Ky said city wide it was non-violent just a average night.

Wow are you serious. I didn't think people would take that stupidity serious. All over my fb ppl are saying I can't believe the purge is actually happening in Kentucky. (I'm from Dallas)

Yeah well there's been reports of people setting dumpsters and cars on fire, burglaries, people shooting at cars, and groups wearing masks and face paint carrying weapons in louisville. Scary sh*t. I live 20 mins from louisville. I downloaded a police scanner app called 5-0 Radio Police Scanner lite. Click on top 100 scanner feeds

I really hope that those were prank calls :( I turned it off because I got too scared lol

I live in Louisville. Yes some bad things have happened tonight.

I can't listen on the scanner right now but did find this local blogger that's been updating... Maybe pink can check out the legitimacy.

Super creepy seeing the updates!

http://thoughtcatalog.com/rob-fee/2014/08/live-blog-im-in-louisville-right-now-and-the-louisville-purge-may-actually-be-happening/

For the short time I listened, what he wrote is true. I'm completely terrified!

Following...

This is about 2 1/2 hours from my house. My friend lives down there she said a lot of ppl are scared but they are hoping it's a sick prank.

Was just listening to the scanner & the blog updates are accurate. Heard the brick through a window come in. ?

I'm too scared to listen to the scanner but I want to know what's really going on ?

I missed that one milky!!! ??

Lol i heard that

Ugh that is scary!!!

How could the kid that started this "prank" not realize how sick people are today?? Doesn't he watch the news?! ???

I'm scared for the world we live in today. ?

I haven't seen anything tonight. I even drove to work around 11pm and saw nothing. Of course there has been lots of things reported on the scanners. My SO was listening to the scanner when I left and he said he had heard of home invasions, cars being set on fire, shots being fired...etc. Honestly though nothing severe that I have seen. There have been some really silly reports that have came in to such as a man stole a beer and a pickle and the cops were chasing him. Also a man sexually assaulted a cat.

There was a guy doing a live blog and police stood at the end of his road in mega phones walking telling everyone to stay in their homes that this was in fact a threat and hazardous

Following.

I'm in Massachusetts but I'm so s*** scared of this. But I'm a hypochondriac. Still, I'm scared... Currently listening to the scanner

I was listening to the scanner for a bit, Only thing that stood out was that a homeowner called in because someone was banging on the door screaming let me in... freaked me out man.

I live 45mins away and yes they are going crazy. . My city is suppose to be next tomorrow from 9 to 9 just seen the flyer

apparently it's supposed to happen in Ohio, Jacksonville, Florida, Detroit, Michigan, and Cleveland.

Yep Louisville had one too. . They arrested the guy who started it, but ppl are def acting an a** off of it

the giraffe part is real. someone let a giraffe free.

This is actually happening? Thank god I live CT

They haven't arrested the guy who started it as he was only a minor & they dropped the charges, watch the news people don't always go off s*** from the internet & as for deaths there are only 2 homicides which aren't even linked to the "purge" now 419 yeah don't believe everything you see on the internet ??

Holy moly! I go to bed and wake up to 100 comments!

I'm going to ask my friends and see if anything happened over night. They live right in the heart of Louisville.

112 dead in chicago

I'm originally from Louisville. So I checked the local news channel wave 3. Here's the link.

http://m.wave3.com/wave/db/336805/content/LLjgOwqd

All a hoax.

I guess we'll never know how many of the actual calls were pranks, or how many were people just wanting to scare people.

I know what calls I heard on the scanner though & while the teen that started it admitted to just messing around that certainly doesn't mean that it did/wouldn't propagate sick people from jumping on the wagon.

That blogger posted pics of his area that is usually very busy on a Friday night & it was d.e.a.d. I don't expect to see any real news coverage on even the possibility of the real calls though.

Alls I know is if a prank like that was propagated & someone came banging on my door screaming to let them in I'd probably be in jail for shooting said person through my door. That's just not right to be doing to people.

I agree, pp! I don't even watch movies like that! I even had to stop watching Criminal Minds because it freaked me out so much!

For realz MoneyPit!

I know that making movies falls under the 1st amendment but like I told DH last night, if someone is sick enough to think it up there's someone sick enough to do it & we've just gone too far as a society to be having movies like that be commonplace.

It's sad and it's scary!

There were 2 murders last night. The police have been known to lie to the news because the mayor tells them to so I don't believe that it was a normal night. Too many people were acting like fools last night

So how many people have really died?

This is scary!

It just a normal night in my city, we had 2 shootings with 4 victims, 2 confirmed dead so far, one was a female employee of convenience store shot during an armed robbery. The other shooting was a drive by and the victim died. There was also a fatal accident on the highway by my house involving a big rig transporting wine and pedestrians were trying to steal the wine!

Really, all the things that happened in Louisville last night happen all the time. It's just that no one pays much attention.

Seahorse, this time it WAS the movie. This event was mimicking the movie Purge.

Okay so let me get this straight. Instead of raising people and taking actions on those people that actually DO things like that, we blame the MOVIE. No. People shouldn't behave like that!

As for the kid, he shouldn't get arrested for being stupid. Unfortunately we can't arrest people for stupidity. It's not like he got together a gang and went out purging. He started what? A tweet? Status? Post on tumblr?

Just because it was MIMICKING the movie doesn't mean it's the MOVIES FAULT. It's the dumbasses fault and whoever raised them and whoever they CHOOSE to associate with.

Guns kill people

Movies kill people

Pencils make mistakes

Spoons eat cereal

What else?

Here in CO it's supposed to be happening September 6th in a few cities. My roommate and fiance are heading to his sister's house for the day where it's a quiet small town and they (his sister and brother in law) carry so we've got protection if, God forbid, the need arises. F*cking people these days.

I think it's BS to blame the movie. That's like blaming Barbie and Ken for Americas divorce rates ?

Honestly with the way people are nowadays it's probably would've just been a matter of time anyway

And someone was blaming the movie

It's supposed to happen in Oklahoma on the 30th. Good thing I don't live in the city.
