If you are not familiar with the movie "The Purge", one day a year it is legal to kill anyone you want...
I was camped on the river this weekend. My site was on a large pool with a rope swing directly across the river from me. This time of year, the river is low and temperatures are high, so it brings out a lot of people on rafts, rec kayaks and floating coolers. A group of ~12-15 came by and stopped at the swing. They were typically boisterous with lots of yelling and squealing. I paid them no attention while I sat in the shade and read a book. As they readied to float on, a few began smashing beer bottles all over the bank. Unbelievable, the idiots were all in bare feet. Being alone, I did not do anything. I scrambled for my phone to catch a pic but they were gone by the time I was ready. The next morning I paddled over and cleaned as much glass and beer cans as I could. I also lashed a knife to a long stick and cut down the rope swing. One of the girls was on a white unicorn float. When I got to the take out I found it and several other tubes stashed in the weeds. Trying to inspect the floats, I accidentally cut gaping holes in each one. Oh well, I just packed them into my truck as garbage. On the drive home I thought a lot about that movie...
