One dumb thing about the masks...


If the Purge allowed you to kill someone without getting arrested, why the hell was everyone wearing a mask to prevent identity?

Because if someone knew who you were and survived they could go after you for the next purge

Think it's an aesthetic choice(sorry, I think that's the right word) by the characters. A little extra flair so to speak. It also makes things a little more interesting. The movie is full of issues, but not sure this is one. If I was one of these psychopaths I'd find the most ridiculous mask possible.

It's also more disturbing that the Purgers could be living amongst you every day and you wouldn't know it
