A 14-year-old girl who opened fire at deputies referred to Grand Theft Auto

"Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said the children fired from multiple angles and the girl allegedly threatened to kill a sergeant.

The 12-year-old later told investigators that the 14-year-old had said, "I'm gonna roll this down like GTA," referring to the video game Grand Theft Auto, Chitwood said." https://abcnews.go.com/US/12-year-boy-14-year-girl-open-fire/story?id=78037996

Using Grand_Theft_Auto or any video game as an excuse to go out and shoot people is unjustifiable.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto#Controversies

There is a lot of fascinating research that indicates this world could be part of some kind of a cosmic interactive recording and projection. However, if people use the analogy of the world as being someones video game just to shoot and kill people, they just might be missing the point of life.
