 Topic: Deaf man stabbed when sign language seen as gang s
Posted: Jan 12 2013 at 4:19pm |
Deaf Man Stabbed After Sign Language Mistaken for Gang SignsA deaf man in Burlington, North Carolina, was stabbed multiple times after his sign-language conversation with another deaf man was mistaken for gang signs. The incident took place Wednesday afternoon on East Morehead Street, where 45-year-old Terrance Ervin Daniels was exchanging words in sign language with another man. Police say Daniels was suddenly approached by 22-year-old Robert Jarell Neal, and stabbed multiple times with a kitchen knife. He managed to make his way to a nearby intersection, where he collapsed on a patch of grass. Emergency services eventually made their way to the scene and transported Daniels to Alamance Regional Medical Center in stable condition. Neal was arrested a few hours later and charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, inflicting serious injury, and felony assault on a handicapped. According to Burlington Police staff Sgt. Mark Yancey, it was determined that Neal had mistaken Daniels sign language for gang signs. Yancey added that Neal himself is not a member of a gang.

"Neal himself is not a member of a gang himself"  I totally believe it. I know I go around stabbing folk who make hand signals just in case they might be in a gang.

If he was not a gang member than what would be the purpose for the stabbing? and how would he confuse them with said gang he isnt part of.

Again? Did something like this not just happen last year or the year before? What kind of nonsense is this. People with nothing better to do. Go read a damn book!
