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

And someone was blaming the movie

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

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

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.

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?

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?

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

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

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!

So how many people have really died?

This is 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

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!

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!

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

All a hoax.

112 dead in chicago

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.

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 ??

This is actually happening? Thank god I live CT

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

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

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

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

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'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

Following.

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

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.

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

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?! ???

Lol i heard that

I missed that one milky!!! ??

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

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

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.

Following...

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

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!

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

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

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

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)

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! 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.

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! :)

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.

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

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

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

Hopefully it'll stay a trivial Friday night!

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.

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

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

That's weird.

My phone is crazy!

So is it true EvilAngel are you serious?

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

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

@Evilangel

Why is this your first post ever?

Please tell me you lost your mind.

No way! Really pp?! ???

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

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.

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 called this to happen when the first one came out smdh

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.

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 :/

??

?

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

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

....

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.

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. ?

@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.

This scares the crap out of me. ?

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

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

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

@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.

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

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

What is the purge ?

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

Found this article

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.

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

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

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. :-/

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

Zomg Murdock, great minds think alike.

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.

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

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.

That's pretty scary regardless :/

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