Blogging on Meds

While filming downtown Los Angeles on a Saturday a young Latino skateboarder was stabbed in the neck by a gutter punk for bumping shoulders with him. With no warning and obviously no conscience, the punker stabbed the 15 year old boy in the neck from behind and then ran to catch a bus. This photo was taken about 1 minute after the stabbing,Benny Fairfax seen here skating.

talked to the police for the young skaters, as their English wasn’t the best. I could see that his face was turning a strange color from his frantically scared friend whom was tying a shirt around his neck to stop the bleeding. The police came, an ambulance came, he got sent off, we got questioned, we got kicked out for skateboarding, we went home.We all left with a bad feeling but I’m pretty sure he lived.
