[The Purge] Are murderers still charged? Is violent crime still seen as a bad thing?

The general morality of people (at least Purge Supporters) seems to be really twisted in the world of *The Purge*.

A lot of people seem to think that violent crime is not simply "allowed" on Purge Night, but morally right. 

The movies and the series have multiple moments of Purge Supporters going on about how it's "their right" and how "the healing power of violence" will fix them.

As such, what happens to murderers and rapists and other violent criminals who are arrested on the rest of the year?

I would imagine that Purge Supporters on the jury would be like, "What did this guy do wrong? Maybe he deserves a fine for doing it outside of Purge Night, but he didn't do anything morally wrong. Violence is good, and compassion is evil."

Likewise, in general, how is violent crime seen in the general public (at least by Purge Supporters)? I would imagine that mass murderers and serial killers are looked at as pillars of the community in this world and doctors, charities and general good people are looked at with contempt and hatred.

The NFFA ideology is essentially a reboot of fascism, and follows those trends. The context of this in terms of Purge Night is as both an opportunity to express extrajudicial violence against those outside the NFFA's view of America and as a warning to all society of why the NFFA are their only saviors.

The Purge is used in this way to provide a constant "proof" that danger is everywhere and people are in essence  violent killers. This is useful to the NFFA's policy goals in other areas, because if *everybody* is a killer deep down, then there's nothing *more wrong* about one group being violent towards another. Nonviolence is not possible, but dominance is, and so one must seek dominance over all other groups.

Because of this, the time outside Purge Night is and is not like you speculate. A crime by a Counterpurger would be punished harshly, while a crime by a Purger would garner sympathy. After all, both of them are just "being honest", but the Counterpurger is a threat to the safety of NFFA dominance while the Purger is reinforcing that dominance. For the same act, not even necessarily related to a political goal, one is wretched and the other is misguided because of their different relations to fascist dominance.
