Dear City Council and Mayor,

I am writing to you about the incident in City Heights that occurred on August 13th where a 18-year old Deaf boy was beaten up because a group of gang members thought he was “looking at them funny.” According to the police officer quoted in the newspaper, the Deaf boy was also unable to respond to these ruthless criminals as they approached him to ask him what gang he claimed.

It has been TWO WEEKS and no arrests have been made, when will the police department realize they need to do more?

Last month, three gay men were beaten up by three hate-mongers. The Mayor and the Police Chief spoke up and THREE days later all three men were brought to justice. Now it has been TWO weeks. None of the city leaders have spoken up about the need to get these criminals off the streets. In the situation in the beating of the gay men, only three criminals were involved and they were all arrested, now in the situation of the Deaf boy there were not three, but TEN men involved and not one has been arrested.

We as a Deaf community have reached out to the Police Department to tell them that this IS a possible hate crime! Deaf people usually have very strong facial expressions and strong body language because that IS how we communicate! Now if someone is going to beat us up because we use our facial language and body language to communicate and they think “we look at them funny” then that is just wrong because they ARE beating us up because we are Deaf, just like how a KKK member would beat up a black person just because they “look funny” due to their color skin. Even worst if a group of men is going to approach a Deaf person and they can see that he can’t respond, then either this group of men is REALLY stupid and can’t figure out that this person is Deaf or they knew he was Deaf and they STILL beat him up. This IS a possible Hate Crime.

So why won’t the Police Department consider this a possible hate crime? They are too stubborn and do not understand the disability community. They are not doing their job listening to a community that is speaking up. We have bothered Officer Donelson many times and he has responded saying they are taking this seriously and he keeps avoiding the fact that it is a possible hate crime!

Please use your power to tell the Police Department that what they are doing by ignoring the Deaf Community and the Disability Community is WRONG. They need to get their act together and consider this a Hate Crime because if they do they will make this a priority crime and bring these 10 thugs to justice NOW just like they did when they assigned 5 detectives and worked around the clock to find the three men who beat up the three gay men last month in just three days. They need to do the same in this case so we can make the streets safer for Deaf people and Disabled people around San Diego.

If you won’t protect the streets for the Deaf Community and the Disability Community, then who will?

Sincerely,

(YOUR NAME)
