This is the moral guidance or spiritual guidance I'm getting now.
Right.
Besides that.
That's not helping me in terms of the moral quandary that I'm going to eventually be the guy who rubs banks.
But it's just a tough time for me to try and process the grief myself and beyond being brutalized.
So I got all this aggression growing in me now.
I got rage growing.
You think kids don't have rage?
They got rage.
By age 11, I'm rageful.
And by age 13, I pulled a bunch of fire alarms at school.
Now I'm a delinquent.
I'm getting A's.
I'm the best kid in school.
I'm getting the American Legion Award because I'm this great kid.
But I'm troubled.
And what I do, I pull all these firearms one week and I get suspended.
You know, I'm fighting.
I'm just acting out because nobody can help me.
And so as far as they're concerned, the language that gets thrown at me is, you know, all the stuff that we throw at youngsters now who are having problems and act out.
