Kingstown Season 3 Mayor: The Unknown Agent Behind the Attacks
A run of vicious attacks in the third season of Mayor Of Kingstown has left viewers and characters both wondering about the identity of the offenders. The bus disaster that claimed several young girls' lives shocked viewers to no end and left them in a state of wonder and search for explanation. Although the show has not specifically identified the person behind this horrible deed, the most recent episode, "Episode 8," offers a faint indication towards a specific criminal organization: the Aryan Brotherhood (AB).
The Bus Tragedy Involvement of the Aryan Brotherhood
Key AB member Callahan makes a big statement just before the grenade attack on the prison in the penultimate episode of season 3. He describes the recent events, noting Mike's attempts to offset the influence of the Crips and the AB's rising might resulting from a new drug source. Callahan also notes that "the Russian's time" is running short, so implying that he understands how the bus catastrophe would affect Konstantin's business. This comment, together with Callahan's awareness of the incident, practically proves the AB's participation in bus incident planning.
Uncertainty and Disorder in Kingstown
Kingstown's uncertainty and anarchy resulting from the unclear attribution for the attacks have permeated the town. This uncertainty transcends the bus catastrophe. For instance, it was impossible to clearly connect the KPD's episode 3 car park bombings to the AB leadership. Likewise, the bus tragedy remains unresolved even if Mike insisted it was an accident. The general lack of clarity has permanently upset Kingstown's delicate equilibrium even if Mike correctly identifies the assailant of the grenade attack in episode 8.
Mike's Gamble and the Risk of Gang War
Desperate to keep Kingstown peaceful, Mike has given peace above truth top importance. He has covered for those whose involvement in the attacks came to light could have started a war. This approach proved successful in the case of Bunny's attack on Robert and apparently in the case of the grenade attack, in which Mike persuaded Callahan that Konstantin was behind the attempt on his life notwithstanding suspicions of Bunny. Konstantin's killing of an AB thug backed Mike's story, thus this gamble turned out successful. But depending too much on luck is a risky game; any more ambiguity might cause a terrible gang war.
The Rising Risk of Gang War
Kingstown's growing fear and mistrust have resulted from the increasing violence and the absence of definite attackers' responsibility. The KPD's reaction to the car park bombings, the ambiguity around the bus accident, and Bunny's response to the poisoned drugs all underline the consequences of this uncertainty. A full-blown gang war becomes more likely as the season goes on. Since the first season, the show has alluded to this conflict; the present level of anarchy could very well set off the long-awaited war.
Important Lessons Learned
Third season of Kingstown's mayor examines the subtleties of power, control, and the results of unbridled violence The continuous ambiguity about the attacks reminds us constantly of the frailty of peace and the possibility of anarchy in Kingstown. The season's last shows promise to expose the truth behind the attacks, but the likelihood of a terrible gang war looms great.
