What does "armed with the sidewalk" even mean? I mean, really?

Then when I have road rash, it's really Grievous Assault and I should sue. I've been beaten by several maladjusted and shifty sidewalks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You guys, I feel like the Hulk. I am pretty good at ignoring shit, but once I start thinking about it for even one minute, I am insta-rage. That's my secret: I'm always angry.

I hear you, Jesse. Though for me, it's insta-rage that immediately becomes crushing hopelessness.

I'm trying to come up with a joke about how he must have had superpowers, but it's too fucking depressing to joke about.

Seriously, what does that mean? I didn't read any of the testimony (because my head needs to be in the sand sometimes). Did he throw a chunk of it at the guy or something?
