So the people in those trucks....were


The government going out and purging because people were doing it less and less?

Yet you see the truck kill two people who were out purging kinda counter productive of your goal no

lol, good point.

They also busted into the apartment complex to kill people trying to stay out of it though. I think that's mainly what they were up to.

reply

Yeah that's how I took it. The government encourages the purge for population or social class control (something like that). They're just facilitating the process.

reply

yeah there was a conspiracy going on.. and at the end the trucker guy said it was all true

Krillin: Man, that android is toast!
Piccolo: Yeah... More like, burnt toast.

I think those just were very easy targets for a mini gun in a truck... They probably just drive around and kill whatever is in sight

reply

I guess they just killed whatever was in sight. I mean they fired at the "motorcycles and van" gang as well. And I guess Big Daddy or whatever his name was, got a hard-on from all the killing anyways. That guy was really into it.

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut thats my point



why are you going and killing people out there purging?



i get going into apartment and killing people not getting involved....but your going out of your way and killing people that are doing what you want them to do!

Did you even watch the movie?

That wasn't the government.

That was a dude called "Big Daddy" (the guy in the back of the truck with the big machine gun...) hiring a personal army to purge for him, and grab a couple of bodies for him to personally "purge". The masked dudes mention this whilst grabbing the two woman in their apartment.

Try actually watching the movie next time! :)

reply

Did YOU even watch the movie? "Big Daddy" clearly states that it's the government that finds that the normal purging is not enough. He talks about "the citizens" and "us".

One of the commandos earlier in the movie said that they are only doing their duty.

In the semi, they talk about that only the government has access to city surveillance camera feeds, so they figure out right then and there that it _is_ the government.

Try interpreting what you see in the movie next time!

You do realize that purging the purgers is still purging, right?

Either way, a bunch of people are dying, brutally. Government's job is done.

reply

The government wanted to have more people killed. Those people who were out there purging were doing the job the government wanted them to do. Killing them just defeats your purpose.
