After legal action resulted in BYU Police losing the ability to make arrests and investigate crimes starting September 1st 2019, BYU students plan on holding an event they’re calling “The Purge” on September 2nd.

“We’re just basically going to do what we want. The men will grow beards, the women will wear leggings, and we’ll stay out till 12:30 AM instead of midnight.” said Student Union President Ethan Hawkinson. Hawkinson reports that he is already stocking up on chocolate milk in preparation for the event.

“Of course we got the idea from the movie,” said Purge Committee member Cercesi Headley, “but the planning got tricky because the movie is rated R so we couldn’t exactly watch it.”

Students plan on ending all illicit activity before dawn on September 3rd, for fear of actually getting in trouble or going to the Telestial Kingdom. Any students interested in participating in The Purge can find the Student Union office on the second floor of the Wilkinson Center on BYU campus.
