'They're leaving': Observers erupt as people depart Trump's rally while he's still talking

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.

The people leaving were placed right behind Trump, in a position usually reserved for only the most diehard fans at any event.

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.'"

This didn't go over well.

Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign posted a video of people standing behind Trump starting to funnel out of the event, simply writing, "They're leaving" as the X caption.

Independent journalist Aaron Rupar posted about the development on social media, saying that "people can be seen bouncing from the rally behind Trump as he goes on and on and on and on."

Popular liberal commentator @JoJoFromJerz wrote, "But Trump said no one leaves his rallies."

Former prosecutor Alain Leibman said, "Crowd walking out on you."
