HALLANDALE, Fla. � Two deaf men were stabbed at the Ocean's Eleven Sports Lounge and Grill, a Hallandale Beach bar, Saturday night when Barbara Lee, another patron, thought the men were throwing gang signs at her, reports WTVJ NBC News-6 in Miami.
The men, one of whom is deaf and mute, were using sign language.
They were just at the bar to celebrate a birthday.
When Lee, 45, confronted the men, they motioned for her to go away.
She left the bar but returned with 19-year-old Marco Ibanez, who is accused of pulling out a knife and stabbing the men.
Lee and Ibanez remain behind bars, where they'll be learning a whole new language of legal terms. |
People just keep redefining stupid.
45 years old and you can't tell when someone's signing?
Even after the initial misunderstanding, you would think after confronting the 'offenders' something would have told her they were deaf.

Its amazing how a lot of really dumb people survive and prosper in democracies.
I suppose its inevitable that one day some hungrier, smarter and less pampered nation will take over as world superpower. |

Finish your inference. You're saying dumb people don't survive as easily in other systems? |
