Step 1. Join crime faction on an already established character.
Step 2. Play character for a few days. Stack money and get a gun license.
Step 3. Commit a criminal act. (MUGGING (within the rules btw))
Step 4. Get killed while mugging.
Step 5. Select community members are upset at you for mugging in a video game. (within the rules btw)
Mugging on an alternate character is not against the rules. I have mugged on my main character. The rules state that you may not have a character for the express purpose of mugging/raiding. That was not the purpose of my character.
