* WaxingLyrical: When taunting Gunn for "moving up" in the world, one of his former cronies derisively quotes ''Series/TheJeffersons''' theme song: "deluxe apartment in the sky".

Removed: 196

Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Gunn was refering to the real life problem of black males having a more likely chance of being investigated by police when walking in public then other races. He made it a matter or race because it is a documated and ongoing matter.


** To be fair, the police zombies were attacking anyone out after dark, on account of the incredibly high violent crime rate in the area. That didn't stop Gunn from bringing race into it, though.

* KarmaHoudini: Jackson. He's a thug, a probable drug dealer, affirms [[StopBeingStereotypical every negative stereotype possible]], tried to run when things got bad, and at the climax, Gunn saves him from a zombie cop. But in the end, his comeuppance is... the streets have fewer cops so he can commit more crimes! Yay!
