Police Concerned About Flash Mob Violence Based On Horror Movie

Social media posts promise violence in Florida, Pennsylvania and Kentucky.

The story linked here serves as a collection of headlines from various states—states where people have been posting social media announcements about “purges” to take place in the respective cities where the Tweets and messages are coming from.. AS notes, Florida, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania are among the states where police are monitoring the situation …

The horror movie where the ‘purge’ is stemming from is, none other than THE PURGE.. the sequel to the original film was released this summer and had respectable box office numbers..  The movie was less gruesome horror and more social commentary—rich vs poor and the government suspending all police protection to allow for  a ‘purge’ is the plot..

While this new social media purge scare may be more hype than upcoming horror, it’s noteworthy that so many places and police forces are monitoring the situation. And just a brief stroll through morning headlines each day may showcase the reason why it should be a concern of law enforcement—times like these, there aren’t many reasons to take things for granted..

In the areas where the social media purge is being spoken of, police are announcing that they have contingency plans to deal with any issues.. I know there are lots of ill will feelings towards police after watching the mess they made in Ferguson, but we need to support social justice, law enforcement, and order.. It’s why America works.. It’s what made us work to begin with… 

It feels like a long hot summer.. the tensions within this nation is palpable.. The rhetoric across this country is emotional and cruel..

A cruel summer.

The fabric of this nation is tearing.. I fear that there aren’t any seamstresses left to fix it.

Elderly Woman Killed, Authorities Searching for the Killer

This Nanticoke PA crime is a bit shocking, given the circumstances.. The elderly woman was 97 years old and was beaten to death. 

The timing was equally offensive: It happened on Thanksgiving night.

Trouble has come to your little town, sheriff..

Police: Australian baseball player killed by Oklahoma teens -- just because

A random act of violence has left a promising 22-year-old college baseball player dead, a family devastated and two countries half a world apart rattled.

The term ‘senseless violence’ means just that.. And to see a 22-year-old kid from another country come to America just to be killed “just because” by teenagers, is awful..

Disgusting, as a matter of fact.

You know, my dad has often said something that is beginning to make sense to me.. Keep in mind he’s a BACK TO THE FUTURE lover.. But he said, sometimes this planet feels ‘like Biff stole the playbook.’ It just doesn’t seem right.. like there’s something ‘off’ about our world..

Did Biff steal that playbook? 

There is no point, ever, to violence …especially this kind.

I cannot even imagine what the family of Christopher Lane must be feeling today.. There is certainly no reason he should be dead tonight.

Boy, 9, shot while riding with mother: 'Mommy, I'm shot'

Police believe a 9-year-old boy was shot by a gunman who had been aiming at his mother’s boyfriend as they drove on the South Side.

Stories like this do nothing but make me sick… totally sick, and frustrated with the inhumanity people harbor..

Boy, 9, shot while riding with mother: 'Mommy, I'm shot'

I spent a little too much time this weekend reading news accounts of horrible situations

Locally, here in the coal region this morning, two beautiful young children died in a car accident.. Tonight I was reading about a child who died at an Atlanta airport after a display sign fell on him.. I am still following up about the story of the child in Georgia who was killed in his stroller, it was the second child who died on the mom—another older boy died in New Jersey in gun violence..

And you know what? I am sick of it all.

It’s not bad enough that I have a cold/flu type of a thing for about a week.. but all of this mental pressure was probably too much for me.

No news is good news.

The happiest people sometimes skip to the sports section..

But I cannot.

Instead, I broil with anger and simmer with agony at daily headlines from sea to bloody sea…

This is one crazy messed up world, don’t you think?
