Police: Deaf Man Stabbed After His Sign Language Was Mistaken For Gang Signs
CBS Charlotte
BURLINGTON, N.C. (AP) — Police in Burlington say a deaf man was stabbed several times after his sign language was mistaken for gang signs by another man.
Sgt. Mark Yancey said 45-year-old Terrance Ervin Daniels was using sign language with another deaf man. A third person saw them, thought they were flashing gang signs and stabbed Daniels several times with a kitchen knife. A neighbor saw the victim and called emergency personnel.
Daniels is in stable condition at UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill after Wednesday’s incident.

He must’ve carved him up like a Christmas goose if they had to take him to UNC from Burlington! They must’ve “Life-Flighted” him, because even if the guy had been stabbed on the side of I-40 in the eastbound lane, at the Alamance/Orange Co border, it’s still a 30 minute ride with sirens blaring and lights flashing. They do have a hospital in Burlington… it’s one of the regional centers that Duke bought up a few years back when they gobbled up damn near every medical facility in the state that wasn’t already under the control of the UNC system…

Dumbass Gangbanger. We don’t need no semi-auto rifles or pistols though.

Robert Barone – “No.”
Ray – What was he doing Robert?”
Robert – “…he was…being deaf.”

Hmmm…deaf v. black. There is a “talk to the hand” joke in there somewhere, perhaps even a “fingerbonics” joke, but I feel lazy this morning.
