Gat's court hearing in Appointed Defender was an appeal to reduce the number of murders he was convicted for, having been already on death row. He appealed so that he could go to a court hearing, giving the Boss an opportunity to rescue him. Johnny knows Boss won't stay in jail, and that their escape would trigger a prison lockdown and make it more difficult for Boss to rescue Johnny before he got the chair. He would have contacted Legal Lee to arrange the hearing, and knowing there would be around-the-clock news coverage, just had to stall the judge long enough for the Boss to rescue him.
The Sons of Samedi are the only rival gang that are not in Ultor's pockets. Fitting, considering that the gang mostly operates through the drug industry rather than racketeering and aren't as organized as the other three gangs. They already make enough money through their own Loa Dust distribution and Veteran Child's DJing, and that The General and Mr. Sunshine prefer to get their hands dirty in comparison to Shogo and Maero. They're mainly held in check by the other two gangs rather than any orders on Ultor's part, which suits Dane Vogel's objectives just fine.
Maero was annoyed at Jessica for saying Carlos reminds her of her old house cleaner, and being a cleaner is a stereotype commonly associated with Hispanics. It makes sense considering Maero is an ethnic minority like Carlos - Ambiguously Brown, but possibly of Maori descent, judging by his name, skin tone, and tribal tattoos - so he has likely faced discrimination. Also, being rude to a rival gangster you invited over to negotiate with isn't a good business tactic.
Shaundi is often criticised for being a poor fighter and for her incompetence during the Sons of Samedi arc that nearly gets her killed. However, this is because she is constantly stoned and shagged out. A lot of jokes are made about the ridiculous amount of boyfriends she's had and about her being baked. As shown in the same arc, when the Boss is drugged, they can't fight well either.
Mr. Sunshine sending the junkies to steal drugs from the Saints was a pretty clever Xanatos Gambit. Either the Saints kill their most dedicated customer base, lose their product and a good deal of business, or the Saints are killed. Considering the Saints were not able to earn money through the deadbeat Brotherhood, or the protected cash of the Ronin, it could very well have stopped the Saints in their tracks.
In addition to using the same colours as the three gangs the Saints take on, one the lyrics to the Culture Club song Karma Chameleon also references the plot between Ultor and the Saints. "Lovin' would be easy if your colours were like my dreams: Red, gold and green" is a metaphor for Ultor's struggles dealing with the Saints. Ultor's takeover of Stilwater would've gone off without a hitch if the Saints had been as easy to control and defeat as the other gangs.
Fridge Horror[]
For completing both Instances of Septic Avenger, the reward is a discount in food items and improved weapons accuracy. Consider the fact that some targets were likely not only people that were eating at fast food restaurants ,but the sewage also blinded them and ruined their appetite. Living in Stilwater sure is rough.
