See, Omar... the thing is...

...where I come from... the plunging knife deal... that's kind of a no-no...
One of Farhan's friends went into the building, grabbed a knife from another friend's apartment, and plunged it into Farhan's back.

"He was stabbed one, two, three times in the back," Omar said. "He didn't feel too bad at first and came inside to change and then go back to the fight. But he just collapsed in blood on the floor."
I guess, though... in this part of Mississauga, anyway... it's less of a thing than you might think.
"It was just a moment of madness," a cousin said. "He was a good boy. He was not perfect, but he was not a criminal."

"It was a simple fight. They must have trash-talked each other and then one guy decided he couldn't take that."
No big deal, huh?

I'm glad you guys don't live around the corner from me.
