"The people who sign should work out an arrangement for the equivalent of a "9-1-1" sign and a "I am deaf" sign that would be taught to the public in general by public service advertising."

And the deaf/mute will be required to get on their knees before flashing the sign? Or be required by law to wear a flashing sign? Or required to have a special ID card on them at all times? Or be microchipped?

Many assume that deaf people in general are weak, easy to bother and won't get revenge for justice--not a wise assumption.

Drop the delusional paranoia. I described something voluntary.
