I was about to post the same thing. He is so thin, a knife has much less further to travel to puncture a vital organ. I am glad he is ok.
Just as important, I hope he learns from this experience.
The whole Gangsta thug thing needs to stop. Leave that shit to the rappers and other unfortunate souls that find it cool.
