Donald Trump on Sunday proposed a new policy that many critics said is equivalent to legalizing “The Purge.”

Trump spoke at a rally in Pennsylvania, where he admitted that his attendees were “falling asleep” at one of his earlier rallies. Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign noted that, as Trump was still speaking at the swing-state event over the weekend, rallygoers placed directly behind the former president started to funnel out of the building.

One comment Trump made drew condemnation on social media, as well as numerous comparisons to The Purge, a film series based on a dystopian world in which the government makes all crimes legal for a 12-hour period.

As reported by Sebastian Smith, AFP Washington desk chief, “Trump in Erie, PA, says in US ‘the police aren’t allowed to do their job.’ To stop crime, you need ‘one really violent day.’ He says: ‘One rough hour and I mean real rough, the word would get out and it would end immediately.’”

    I mean… you sure seemed like you didn’t want me talking about what I was talking about, but maybe I was wrong about that.

    Of course, what with my narcissistic behavior and/or borderline personality disorder, admitting I’m wrong about something is impossible, so now I’m confused.

      you sure seemed like you didn’t want me talking about what I was talking about

      And still playing the victim while ignoring that none of what happens in your head is what is happening in real life and I have participated in the conversation the whole time.

      I think you are wrong to talk the way you do. And assume things that are self affirming than being honest with reality.

      You literally are still using sarcasm and avoidance as a shield and haven’t met the conversation once but used the feeling of being right to be your moral compass.

      Yeah I would still call you a narcissist.

        I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about, but you sure do like insults.

          No you just like to say stuff and don’t listen to others. So yes I’m sure these all sound like insults.

          Oh to have your free time and ignorance.

            If I’m ignorant, shouldn’t you want to educate me rather than berate me? Is this how you think ignorance should be dealt with?

              Oh cool, if you want to be educated, well then reread this conversation from the beginning where I try to have the conversation you refuse to have. Then when you get to here and haven’t changed start over and reread the conversation from the beginning. And when you get to here and pretend to care again start from the beginning where I tried to have this conversation.

                Okay, well at the beginning, you accused me of silencing people and yelling and both of those were lies, so I’m not sure where you want me to go from there.
