Leads to Attack of Hearing Impaired Men HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Two hearing impaired South Florida men are recovering from stab wounds after an attack police say was prompted when their sign language was mistaken as gang signs. Court records show that 45-year-old Barbara Lee and 19-year-old Marco Ibanez are facing aggravated battery charges in the Saturday night incident at a Hallandale Beach bar. Both were jailed Monday in lieu of bail and records did not show an attorney for either of them. Police say the men were using sign language to communicate when Lee allegedly confronted them with complaints they were flashing gang signs. Police say Lee left and returned with Ibanez and a juvenile, resulting in an attack that injured the two hearing impaired men, a bystander and a bar bouncer. None of the wounds were life-threatening. www.foxnews.com/us/2011/05/02/hearing-impaired-men-stabbed-sign-language/a 45 yo, a 19 yo and a juvenile. Isn't it great what the older generation is teaching the younger generation these days. |

It should be pretty easy to tell the two apart: If the person making the signs is flowing through them smoothly and effortlessly, then it is sign language. However, if the person giving the signs looks like a gimp having a seizure then it is gang signals. Pretty simple to tell them apart  |

Interesting. There was an urban legend about this going around many years ago, I wonder what the deal is here?

Personally, I thought today's gangsta kids would have their hands too full trying to keep their britches up to be flashing gangsta signs.
Maybe that's just the wanna-be's.

Not urban legend here. Several years ago, a young mother in a parking lot was trying to hand signal a carload of young men that they didn't have their car lights on. To her bad luck, the guys were gang bangers that mistook her for making gang signs and shot her to death. And no, I didn't hear it from someone who heard it from a friend who heard it from his roommate's second cousin, I heard it on the local news when it happened.

Apparently the 45 yo is still in a gang, I guess you really never can quit!! This is the best quote |

There was a 35 YO woman with the 20 YO guy that murdered one of my cab driver friends 3 years ago. 16 YO girl, too. The older woman was in a battle with CPS to get her kids back... they killed him to get money to bail her boyfriend out of jail. Yeah-- teach those children well.........boy got life without parole, woman got 20 years, girl got 12. Gotta just love this gangsta lifestyle........... idiots acting like they live in a video game....
