What would you do if the purge was real?

so i saw the movie the purge today, and the main idea is that for 12 hours all crime in america is legal including murder, robbery, etc...
so what would you do if the "purge" was real.

Loop holes to this very stupid movie: You can just go on vacation, You could just have had an underground bunker as well.

@pieshadowxx: Well leave a couple of days before the scheduled purge when crimes are still illegal.

Yes, I like the leave the country idea. All the people talking about doing theft or running naked and things like that aren't thinking about one thing. For those 12 hours there would be tons of people just shooting people on sight like it's CoD real life edition. Going outside without weapons would be a death wish. Kill or be killed, and you're unable to do the killing so...

@cb000: Exactly the least you could do is defend yourself. Just because the rest of the world is horrible doesn't mean you have to die. Heck the world is pretty horrible as it stands right now.

@DragonBandit: You're right. I should probably still defend myself, though I still probably wouldn't care if I eventually got taken down.

I'd probably hide in the sewer with a buck knife, a gun would alert others to my location and the sewer is dark enough that I might be able to hide it out and even if not, I have great night vision and the darkness would give me a fighting chance.

@cb000 its cool cause no one else would care if a spineless jellyfish died anyway.

OT If something like that were to exist guns would be readily available. If not I would have an automatic weapon anyway for self defense purposes. I would defend myself and family. I like how people say they would hide in a bomb shelter/etc/etc. Yes because those are readily available and in every ones back yard!

If most of the population really does suddenly rise up to start committing serious crimes, then I'd lose all hope in humanity and will probably not care if I die.

Try to get as many prescription pharmaceuticals from Wal-Greens as possible then rush back home and hide with some sort of weapon. I doubt people would get overly violent though.

well i'd like to hide out
i already live like 10 minutes walk from "the hood" so it probably wouldn't end well? i have a couple things that would probably be a bit worth stealing.

like i'd be fine w/ violently defending myself if i already had a gun...but that's not something i've bothered with at all yet.

Hide out in some sort of crazy bunker...or something.
I couldn't bring myself to murder someone, and I sure as hell don't want to get killed attempting to steal anything.

The amount of corpses laying around would be immense.
There'd be no underground room to bury them.

Or, I'd hide c:

Go spend about a few grand on guns, ammunition. Use those to threaten people and steal items like PS3's and other consoles. Go back home, defend it for whatever time is left.
Hopefully i'll still be alive, and if I am then i'll sell those PS3's for their regular price and hopefully make some type of profit....
