* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Monty purposely hits Jennifer and her boyfriend Joseph's car and then opens the door and beats up a dizzy Joseph. At Joseph's trial, the entire neighborhood willingly testifies against him for the drug charges, but keeps their mouth shut when Monty is accused of assaulting him. This is actually pretty justified, as the neighborhood wanted Joseph gone for always terrorizing them.
