What would you do during "The Purge"?

*Have never seen the purge movies but think I get the concept.
I like living.
Fortified structure, play defense, make it to sunrise.

Fully armed and out on a boat...or up the mountains in my Jeep. Either way, I have no desire to kill anyone (and that says a lot considering the buttholes on this forum alone).
I would be holed up somewhere. There are too many people who practice weekly for this type of event and would go apeshit if a purge was real which is what the Civil War talk is really all about: neighborhood purges.
I could see issues with a large defense group but I'd use the same plan already in place if the shtf.
3 families holed up in the house that is easiest to defend with that number of people.
I don't want to kill anyone either but sometimes if you want to live you may not have a choice.

Probably just sleep. I'm never wrong and everyone agrees with me so I have no enemies.
Hole up in a storm shelter with a good book, some ice, a bottle of Hendrick’s, Fever Tree tonic, and a G-36.
Better hope everyone is on good terms. They did this in anarchy until one person had enough wine and called her husband out for cheating.

20 year old me might've wanted to do some purging, but 50 year old me recognizes that there are way younger, faster people out there, and while I cold be heavily armed, I'd be at a competitive disadvantage out in public. So, I'd probably create a secure space and hang out, with plenty of guns and surveillance, and play defense until sunrise.
Leave a few blank prescriptions for Ativan and Percocet in a bowl outside (like Halloween and a bowl of candy) so I'm left alone. Watch Netflix in my basement with a glass of bourbon and head to bed at a reasonable hour.
We are tight. That would be harder to do with a larger group.
The goal is to make yourself a hard enough target they will look for easier targets elsewhere.
The Purge is what? 12 hours? And you know when it’s coming? Safe room and wait it out. I’m responsible for a family of 5 and I’m old and slow. No way I’m defending or being the aggressor.

I've only seen the original. Kind of a neat idea, at least something original. But the execution fell flat on it's face imo.
Yeah...it was less about the Purge and more of a "The Strangers" type movie after the first 20 minutes.
I think the others are way better in terms of premise but way worse in terms of talent. They all kind of suck.
I would go to Alaska and for one day finally be free to push a moose out of an airplane without repercussion from ol’ John Law!
stay home and put a rerun of the 2016 rose bowl on every tv with volume on max. wouldn’t even have to lock the doors and people would be too horrified to step foot in the house
I don't think drones are permitted. In the movies they have a rule no weapons above a class 4. Class 4 weapons are speculated to be grenades/grenade launches, rocket launchers, bazookas.
I think drones are classified above that.
I have no desire to kill anyone, but I would defend myself if necessary. I might go with the Marvin Heemeyer strategy.
