Halloween is well known as a night riddled with mischievousness.
On Halloween, most say treat, but if the purge happened on Halloween, the tricks would be
out in full force.
Today, life’s biggest questions asks, what if the purge happened this Halloween.
Hello and welcome back to life’s biggest questions, the channel that asks the questions
everyone else is too afraid to ask.

For those of you who have never seen the film, the purge, they are a dystopian film series
that tackle a theoretical question.
What if All crime was legal in the united states for 12 hours until the next morning?
Murder, rape, theft, you name it.
Hospitals aren’t open, police and emergency services personell aren’t working.
Any weapon is ok, other than explosives.
Purges cant kill high ranking government officials .
The rich would have no problem preparing for the purge and protecting themselves.
They would probably install high tech panic rooms and underground bomb shelters inside
their homes, or they would take the opportunity to go on vacation.
Most people that are part of the middle class would leave the country for the night.
Millions of people seeking refuge would pour into Canada or mexico.
Those that are a part of the lower class would be especially vulnerable because they wouldn’t
be able to afford to protect themselves.
For this reason, The US government would set up huge safe houses that could fit thousands
of people for those who wished to stay in the country.

real, check out the link that’s clickable on the screen right now.
One thing’s for certain, If the purge happened on Halloween, It would be a Halloween that
the world would never forget..
When you think about Halloween, you think about a pretty vanilla holiday circling around
adorable kids dressed up like superheroes who collect candy in their neighbourhood before
9pm.
But if the purge happened on Halloween, the holiday would no longer become a night associated
with children, cute costumes and free candy, it would be the one night a year when criminals
can legally come out to play.
Kids would definitely not be out trick or treating.
They would instead stay in their barricaded homes and be told horror stories about the
Halloween purge.
Instead of being a token of capitalist society and consumerism where people spend hundreds
of dollars every year on costumes and candy, Halloween would become a night everyone was
afraid of.
The fact that the purge would occur on Halloween would make it a little different from any
other day of the year.
Ruffians would be on the loose, in full costume.
Scary clowns, menacing masks, you name it, which would probably make the purge a lot
scarier than it normally, would be.
I mean I personally wouldn’t be caught dead in the streets on purge night with scary people
in clown masks running round with weapons, but that’s just me.
Maybe you’re into that sort of thing.
Criminals would take to the streets to rob vulnerable stores and houses of their valuables.
Drinking and drug use public would be common sights during a Halloween purge.
Huge loud parties would take place in public squares.
Yes, parties.
Not everyone would want to rape and murder during the purge, some people would want to
take the opportunity to have a little fun.
I don’t know about you guys, but if the purge was real on Halloween I would want to
go to Disneyland and hijack the rides.
Being out in public during the purge wouldn’t necessarily mean you would get attacked.
If everyone was armed, they would be able to protect themselves.
Being in a group would be key.
Problem is, gangs would also be out in full force.
Rival gangs would use the purge as an opportunity to attack each other for territory or over
previous conflict that took place during the year.
Huge battles would take place in the streets.
Targeted drive by shootings.
Revenge is a huge concept of the purge.
The idea that people would wait for purge night to carry act an act of revenge against
someone who had wronged them is unlikely.
I mean who would honestly wait a months, if not a whole year to get back at people.
It doesn’t really work like that.
But we left logic at the door when we chose to do a video about what would happen if the
purge was on Halloween, so lets explore the concept of revenge in a Halloween purge scenario.
Revenge would be a driving force for many of those who wanted to participate in the
purge.
People would take out their anger on past lovers, minorities as well as influential
people.
It would mean that during the year, people would be very careful about the relationships
they begin.
Its likely many would refrain from getting in relationships for fear of what might happen
to them during the purge.
Either that or the concept of marriage would revert to its previous status, where people
would marry for status or wealth.
At the same time, for fear of repercussions, people would be a lot more careful about whom
they hurt.
That being said, certain groups don’t have to do much to make others want to hurt them.
The purge would also be a night where hate groups would be out to take advantage.
Mass racial and xeno genocide would occur.
I’m thinkin kkk meet ups on a mass scale.
If the purge happened on Halloween, you could expect a fair number of pranks to take place.
I’m not talking toilet paper on trees and smashed pumpkins, I’m talking large-scale
legendary pranks.
Maybe people would take the opportunity to create works of political art on public buildings
and billboards that comment on the current society, or to send a political message.
Maybe people would take the opportunity to vandalize government buildings and monuments
like the white house.
Statues of important people would be defaced or altered.
When citizens would wake up the morning after purge night, they would essentially wake up
to a huge mess.
Murder victims would be littered all over the streets, and emergency response teams
would spend the following days assessing the damage and identifying victims.
Volunteers would spend days if not months working together to clean up and repair their
towns and cities.
These are just a few thoughts on what I think would happen if the purge was real on Halloween.
Tell us, What would you do if the purge was real this Halloween?
