    I see more reckless young people playing Fast & Furious and Grand Theft Auto out on the roads on a regular basis than I do hearing of mental patients reenacting games like Call of Duty. Everyday some kid with a lawn mower muffler is either wrecking someone else or leaving the remnants of their own car wrapped up like a ball of foil with the plastic front clip skidding down the road. My own daughter got caught when she was a kid. Driving games and a '99 Grand Am was too much to resist. She was fined and had her DL on probation for four years.
    Fortunately for us an unmarked car ran her down before anyone died. No booze. No drugs. Just the excitement of it all. I did jump all over her about weaving through traffic at over twice the limit though. Told her to get her brother's video game BS out of her head. A Cook County judge reinforced that.
