Deaf Man Stabbed After Sign Language Mistaken for Gang Signs
Police in North Carolina say a deaf man was stabbed several times after his sign language was mistaken for gang signs by another man.
Burlington Police Sgt. Mark Yancey said 45-year-old Terrance Ervin Daniels was using sign language with another deaf man. He said a third person saw them, thought they were flashing gang signs and stabbed Daniels 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. Click below for full story -

I hope that they put that idiot away for a long long time.
Thats really sad. Such a tragic story and it says a lot about our ignorant society!
I hope the murder can not use this argument as a defence when he stands trial
It probably wont be 1st degree murder. You bet his lawyers will use the misunderstanding as a key defence tool!
I hope this ass hole gets the death penalty.
Even if he mistook the sign as a gang sign did he really have to murder the person!
This is complete BS!!!!
Really I cant believe how ignorant some people are
Death Penalty should await this person!
Tragic way for someones life to end!
R.I.P
