the entire quote actually makes you look worse. i mean look at these contradictory statements together:
"So I cussed him and called him a stupid little punk and yadayada, hoping he'd come at me and give me the satisfaction of carving him up...But I figured I could gamble on the fact that those boys didn't want to give me an excuse to cut them."
"So I walk with a hammer in my knapsack, a blade in my pocket, and a big padlock in my other pocket. Just in case. I only fight to defend myself"
you say you cursed at him, hoping he'd attack you and give you an excuse to carve him up, and then you say you only carry weapons to defend yourself. i understand you're used to rationalizing and justifying all the crazy shit you say and do, but to me..you're just bonkers.
