Offender’s quotes from Anger Class
Ó Carl Reddick
I got
snitched off. It’s all about the drugs anyway
My PO
got me busted
I was
drinking that night and there were hard family feelings
I’m here
on trumped up charges
Pride
I
wouldn’t have done it if I hadn’t ‘a been high
I lost
control of myself
I was
drunk and I beat up ‘somebody’
The
police didn’t have any brains...he was stupid
The guy
hit me so I beat him up, back
I was
takin’ care of ‘my own’
I’m here
for protecting my kids
I was so
mad I blacked out
My
sister is a tweekin’ cop-caller
I was
going to get kicked out so I got mad
I did
what any man would do
She was
drunk so I poured beer on her
My wife
has a drug problem
Don’t know...I’ve been bad all my life
Why do you use drugs ?
Actual
Drugs
make me happy
The
world owes me
Drugs
and alcohol are fun
It’s
only a matter of time ‘till I get busted
Drugs
help me cope with my family
Everybody
uses drugs
I take
what I want...I gotta’ be free
I only
get in trouble when I use
Drugs
make me feel good
If you
were me you’d drink too
Drugs
help me cover feelings about my relationships
My
family all uses
Society
is out to get me
Drugs help me avoid reality
