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.

Police arrested 22-year Robert Jarell Neal and charged him with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury and felony assault on a handicapped person.

Is "assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury" legally different from "attempted murder"?

Probably lack of premeditation.

What a fkn moron. To too it off, I bet the kid who stabbed him isn't even a gang member - he just watched a couple of movies and thought he'd be fool. How the fkn can you confuse sign language with stacking?
