“It shouldn’t have went that far. Anyone can see that. It’s how you take it. It was principle. He wouldn’t give my friend $5, even though he’d lost a $5 bet. . . . I ain’t violent. I just got caught up in it. I thought if I’d killed him, everything would have been cool. There would be no witness. I wouldn’t have been caught. Now I’m happy he didn’t die. . . . Right now I’m not thinking of killing anyone. I don’t think like that. I don’t want to hurt anyone. And I don’t want to get locked up.” – Leonard in Teens with guns teetering between two worlds [at philly.com]
