Well After playing San Andreas for a second time, I again found myself diverting from the mission. The lure of killing people for cash was just too great and fun to pass up. I have made it further into the game this time around, I think it's ironic that you have A "hardcore" gang swear all the time, say that CJ is not down for the hood, or that he "ain't Represent", but then you have them fighting off drug dealers and telling the "homies to stay away from drugs.It's funny when I viewed the scene being portrayed on the TV screen but then i remembered, having a background in gang history from a previous class,that gangs were originally made to bring a sense of peace into the neighborhood. Well, at least as how they viewed it, gangs had a moral code and code of conduct but with time drugs messed them up and with a new and younger generation we have the gangs we see in the game. When i ventured further into San Andreas the stereotypes kept coming,I stole a car and suddenly as i slowed down it just started to hop, a low-rider car i stole from a rival latino gang. After completing a few missions I decided to go on a murder spree and to my surprise once you kill someone cops well come after you but.... depending on the way you kill a bystander cops well not come as fast as you might think. Maybe society views murders committed with different weapons differently.
