What irritates me more than anything about #ThePurge as a concept is how shallow it is: "Hey, we have this one night where all crimes are legal. What do we do?" "How about we all dress up as freaks, even though we're free to do anything and murder all people except each other?"

Then they hamfist messages about how rich people simply buy others to kill them in the safety of their own home and call this commentary. Subtle. How about stealing something big? Bank or mail fraud? Scamming lots of people on the Internet? No, it always boils down to "Freaks with guns. Kill!"
