Can 'The Purge' happen in real life too? Experts uncover the dark truth

'The Purge' is based on the tradition of sanctioned criminal play in an altered America for a specific period of time with minimal restrictions.

What happens when there is no law, no governing body to enforce the rules and regulations, and most importantly when criminal activities are not considered illegal? Society goes rogue? In the times we live in, it's almost impossible to imagine such an establishment, outside the realms of cinematic productions that is, where anarchy and bedlam are not looked down upon and are rather treated as a means of restoration. 

Restoration of a society riddled with poverty, crime, and national debt with the aid of chaos. Sounds like an oxymoron but such is the premise of USA Network's latest TV series, 'The Purge,' which is based on the idea of allowing sanctioned criminal play in an altered America for a specific period of time with minimal restrictions.
