The first mission forces you to steal a bike and ride your self to safety. While some would argue that stealing a bike is always wrong,(A Kantists), When your safety is at stake because the cops put you in a bad situation, in enemy gang territory, stealing a bike could be understood. Either your killed or you steal a bike which was just laying around. Yes that was someones bike but the fact that your life is in danger is much more important at that time. You have no way to contact anyone to come to your safety and you know the cops wont help because they put you in that position so the only thing you can do is steal the bike and flee. If you were in CJ's shoes you would probably do the same thing. The next mission has you and your fellow gang members being chased by rival gang members. Your on a bike and the rival gang is in a car. Once again there is nothing you can do but flee. I ended up running someone over with my bike and possibly killing them but they were in the way and I was fleeing a drive by. When your in that position you don't have time to dodge pedestrians, if you go to slow the rival gang will catch you and kill you which means you end up being killed and if you hit a pedestrian you put their life at risk. While your life is at danger you don't have the time to react to what your doing either. Your just concentrated on getting away. In both situations your life is at risk and breaking the rules can be considered understandable in both situations all you wanted to do was get away from death. On the other side you could also argue that because your in a gang this is happening. If you never made the moral decision to join a gang then you would never be in this situation. I guess if you weren't in the gang then the game wouldn't be as interesting. You wouldn't get stuck in certain situations and you would never be as hooked to this game. Breaking moral rules is what gives this game its ability to be so good.
