3rd Street Vice Kings

"3rd Street Vice Kings" is the seventh mission of the Vice Kings story arc in Saints Row.
==Overview==
Dex has a plan to force the police to put pressure on the Vice Kings, which involves Johnny Gat and Playa dressing as Vice Kings gang members and running riot in Stilwater, all while gaining the media's attention.
After donning the Vice Kings' yellow colors, Playa and Johnny Gat drive downtown, where they kill shopkeepers, knock over giant bowling pins, and destroy The Pride of Stilwater. Dex's plan is successful, and the police are forced to apprehend some Vice Kings. Later that day, Benjamin King assures Richard Hughes that it was the 3rd Street Saints who were responsible. Warren Williams complains about King's friendship with City Hall and brandishes a GDHC .50, stating that it is firepower, and not politics, that gives them power. King, taken aback by Warren's disrespect, promptly tells him to "get the fuck outta [his] office".
===Story===
==Gameplay==
;
The mission starts at Sloppy Seconds in Harrowgate, with the objective to gain two units of police Notoriety.
Unlike the previous mission, there is no penalty for killing fellow Saints, and it does not raise Notoriety. The 3rd Street Saints are not immediately hostile, but the reticle goes red when aiming at them regardless, and Johnny Gat has no problem with killing them.
;
Once the Notoriety has been raised, drive to Nob Hill and kill the shopkeepers inside Shear Intensity and Impressions. At this point Notoriety is at level 3.
;
Now drive towards the giant bowling pins marked on the map.
;
Get some speed and use the ramp to direct the car into the pins, knocking them all over and gaining 4 units of Notoriety in the process.
;
Get in the marked bulldozer. Johnny gets into a nearby Backhoe and follows, but stops being a Homie so he cannot be abandoned.
;
;
Knock over The Pride of Stilwater, an -esque statue of Alderman Richard Hughes holding the Earth on his back. There is a Forgive and Forget on the way to the statue, and while it does work, it shouldn't need to be used. To destroy the statue, simply plow into it with the bulldozer; despite what the objective says, it is not necessary to get behind the statue beforehand.
===Failure===
The mission can be failed by getting smoked or busted, abandoning/killing Johnny Gat, letting the media die, or allowing the bulldozer to be destroyed.

==Trivia==
* During the Newscasts played during and after this mission, Jack Armstrong refers to Nob Hill as "Glenview Hills".
* The Pride of Stilwater is likely a reference to of , a Titan who was forced by Zeus to carry the Greek god Uranus (as the sky) on his shoulders, away from the Earth, after being defeated. It is commonly misinterpreted today that he had to carry the Earth on his shoulders.
* The Pride of Stilwater can be knocked down with explosives, such as a Platinum RPG.
* The XX/XY Hoodie that is unlocked after completing this mission does not appear on the unlock screen, and is placed in the Wardrobe.
* Johnny Gat almost blows his cover when he says his first name before almost saying his last name until he remembered and changed it to "King" calling himself "Johnny King nephew of Benjamin King".
*The only change to Playa and Johnny's appearances are their clothes. Playa can still have purple hair or a purple hat.
