"As Robert Harper, a mayoral candidate with the platform of “law and order,” tells the unseen voting community that he promises to bring peace to the city if elected, a local thug wearing a bright red jacket with the word 'rogue' on the back rips a poster of Harper off a telephone pole and hops over a fence as police sirens draw close. Two more ruffians, Rick and Pelar, decide to take a poll by knocking on a door and telling the homeowner that he will not vote for Harper but Whittier Greenway. Harper stands at podium and continues to repeat his campaign’s theme while the gang members toss food at Harper.
...
While Cobra Commander explains that Cobra can achieve its goals for the city by simply making their goals laws, Scarlett and Lady Jaye eavesdrop and watch from behind a window. Cobra Commander also explains that the gang members are simply pawns whose attacks on Harper in the name of Greenway have made Harper more attractive to the voters. And when Harper wins the election, he can arrest the gang members and appear to keep his campaign promise of bringing “law and order” to the city." |
