Drugs, crime, peer pressure. You know
what that means, peer pressure?

:37:05
- Yes.
- I hear you're real intelligent.

:37:11
Don't your friends make fun of you
:37:13
when you get straight As,
speak correct English,

:37:16
attend school,
go to classes, don't hang out?

:37:20
Don't they call you white boy?
:37:22
Don't they call you soft because
you ain't hanging with them hard?

:37:27
I know they do, but all you
want to do is the right thing.

:37:31
But they keep threatening you,
threatening your mother.

:37:36
Tyrone.
:37:38
So you get a gat.
So you, too, can be hard-core.

:37:41
Protect yourself and your mother.
:37:44
- Do you know the man you shot?
- Yeah.

:37:47
That was Errol Barnes,
a stone killer.

:37:50
He did time
for killin' a kid your age.

:37:54
Here you are, riding your bike,
minding your own business.

:37:57
You have a gun for protection.
:37:59
All of a sudden,
there's Errol, that kid killer,

:38:01
standing right in front of you.
:38:03
He's got this horrible look
in his beady eyes.

:38:06
You see him reaching...
:38:08
Tyrone, look at me.
Look at me, Tyrone.

:38:10
You see him reaching for that .38
stuck in his waist.

:38:14
You know he's gonna gat you.
Then who's gonna protect your mother?

:38:19
You never fired that gun before, but
Errol was about to pull that trigger.

:38:23
You're scared.
:38:26
All you wanna do is ride your bike.
It's either him or you.

:38:29
But this killer in front of you.
There's no time to think,

:38:33
his finger is on the trigger.
:38:36
Boom, boom. The gun just appeared
in your hand.

:38:39
That's what happened.
:38:44
That's what exactly happened.
:38:46
And when I ask you what happened
with the tape recorder on,

:38:50
that's exactly what
you're going to tell me, right?

:38:55
Because you always tell the truth.
:38:59
Now, one last thing.
