I was led to believe, like, you can do whatever the fuck you want. And you tell a young man with money and no moral compass that, you're creating fucking animals, man. And that's what I was.

So I gave him a couple of those and they kicked in a few doors and grabbed, you know, a few quarter pound weed or whatever it was. And then he was content, but he started to realize the bigger picture.

He was just a normal average Joe. Good guy, nonviolent person, as I perceived him at least. He liked to party on the weekends, and rather coming out of his own pocket, he liked to have a little bit extra.

And he took it on the chin. But that's one that stands out that I don't like, that haunts me a little.

They were working-class people and good people. More than a majority are, I don't want to say innocent victims, but they're civilians who don't deserve the punishment or the treatment or the treachery of getting entangled in this fucked up game.

It's all my fault. I was young, but still knew right from wrong. But as I look back, you know, it was pressure, you know, pressure to keep going, pressure to perform. And like a lot of it, you know, I felt like I had done enough that I could have bought myself some safe time, but it was never enough.

I was a piece of shit, man. I did all this for nothing. And it's a waste of a life, to be honest. It's tough. It is, man. I regret it. And I wish, you know, I live in shame a lot of times because of it.

But we were close, you know? On the surface, he's a nice guy. We had a good relationship. I don't know if it was bullshit or it was the truth, but as I look back now, it's kind of fucking sad, isn't it?

You do sketchy shit like that, you build some weird bond. I still can't help but think, like, if I called him, could he have helped me with this? Rather than call you guys, you know?
