Jumper_Dad Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Residents in Louisville, Kentucky are being warned that a real life “Purge” could be planned for this weekend, and police say they are ready. As reported by WLKY, Louisville Metropolitan Police report that posters and fliers have sprung up advertising that a ‘Purge’ crime spree would be in effect on Friday from 8:30 pm to Saturday at 6:30 am for residents in Kentucky’s second largest city. Louisville MPD released a statement on the posters and fliers assuring residents that the department will be ready if there are any sort of mass disturbances. Spokesman Dwight Mitchell said: “We take any threat seriously and fortunately we’re hoping that nothing happens as a result, but we’re prepared in case something does.” The popularity of the Purge films, coupled with world events like the Israel/Hamas conflict, ISIS’s march on Iraq, and even the unrest in the Ukraine and the riots in Ferguson, Missouri have brought the violent subject matter into the public conscience.

Is this an off shoot of the rampaging that some were doing in the streets earlier this year, robbing and beating random people. I don't know what this is, but yeah, some people in The Ville have lost their minds. This world, man... sometimes it's almost enough to make a guy want to drive down to the Trappist Abbey in Nelson County and never leave... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
