24Hour Amnesty Would You Break The Law?

Nope. I wouldn't break the law and I won't watch that awful movie, 'The Purge'. Just like I'd never buy any 'stuff' in a bar. Wouldn't want a hurt done to me, won't do it to someone else.
 

I have never broken any law (other than minor traffic infractions) and 24 hours of immunity from prosecution would only mean I would stay inside and safe (I am armed at home) for those 24 hours.

The Purge was/is a movie where for one night the laws are null and void and everyone can go out and commit crime. In the trailers you could see good folks hiding behind barricaded doors and really awful people roaming the streets and hurting and harming at will.

When I and my husband were young it wasn't unusual to be sitting in a bar and somebody would come in and cruise the tables looking to unload a 'turntable' or set of speakers that he had, or maybe a radio or, well basically whatever he or someone else had probably stolen the night before. Do you know, my mom's place got burglarized twice and it's an awful thing to walk in and survey the destruction. Anyway, that's the 'stuff' I was referring to.

I always found it a little bizarre how some people I knew back then would be all PO'd about being robbed but then were all thrilled when they scored on some new piece of stereo equipment.
 
I know the literal sense of the words PHIL..lol...I wondered in what context Debby was using it, so thanks for the explanation debby. Yes we call it knock off' ..or stuff that's ''fallen off the back of a lorry '' and is being sold cheaply and bought knowing that it's been 'knocked off' from someone, or some company.

I too have had my house burgled, and it's the most horrendous shock when it happens and tbh you never feel safe again in your home, even many years later. It's never ever the same.
 
I'd probably stay at home, too. Probably my worst lawbreaking escapades were buying beer underage back in the early 60s. Nobody cared about that as much then as they do now, at least not here. If you looked like you might possibly be 21, no problem. I always got elected to buy the beer because I looked more like I might possibly be 21 than anybody else in my group.

Horrors!!
