“John thought about nearly dying in Chicago and
this first time firing a gun, causing a realization to come to him; video games are not accurate depictions of real-world violence.

One day they’ll have their Stalins, their Hitlers, and their Napoleons, their Fuhrers and their Duces, and then their very blood will cry out to demand respect for nature. That day they will understand.”
