A deaf guy might have had the same problem. BTW, a deaf man I knew who was a student at Gallaudet ended up killed by the guards because they broke his haloid bone; he struggled around to breath, and they smothered him.

The issue was his parking sticker for campus use. The guards treated him as though he could hear perfectly well. Apparantly there are not all that many commuter students there, and most folks driving in and out of the place are faculty or staff.

Ordinarily it's not a death penalty offense to dispute the cops about a parking ticket related to whether or not you have the right parking sticker.

BTW, the guy did have the right sticker. He also had great difficulty talking (which is frequently the case with profoundly deaf people), and the school seemed to have nothing but inexperienced trainees on that job that evening.

The guy in Louisiana didn't have to go outside. The guy in Palm Beach didn't have to go outside. You don't have to go outside. I don't have to go outside. People make innocent mistakes all the time. Not everyone is trying to kill us .

If he wants to go ouside he can. Maybe he wanted to find out what was doing on. He did not just go ouside and shoot someone. Only after someone pretended to attack him while ignoring his cries to freeze did he shoot.

If somene rings your bell, you take a while to get there, and noone appears to be there it is natural to walk outside. Maybe it is a friend who is getting back into their car in your driveway.
